On October 16, 2021, Xi Jinping General Secretary published an important article "solidly promoting common prosperity" in seeking truth, especially pointing out that we should "adhere to the people-centered development thought and promote common prosperity in high-quality development". So, how to achieve high-quality development and common prosperity? In his book national competitive advantage, mark Porter once said that economic growth will span four stages: the first stage is factor driven, relying on resources and labor; The second stage is investment driven, with large-scale capital investment in cooperation with resources; The third stage is innovation driven, relying on the improvement of technology and productivity; The fourth stage is wealth driven. At present, China has crossed the stage of factor driven and investment driven. At present, the most urgent and most important thing to do is to closely combine innovation driven and wealth driven.
A new round of global scientific and technological revolution and industrial revolution are emerging. The digital industry represented by a new generation of information technology is becoming an important force to realize innovation driven and wealth driven development, and it is also the main transformation force to realize global economic and social development. Especially after the covid-19 pneumonia epidemic, the Internet, big data, cloud computing, AI and other digital industries continue to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries to digitization, networking and intelligence. At the same time, with the continuous and in-depth development of digital technologies such as quantum technology and next-generation communication, major breakthroughs will be made in several fields, promote a new qualitative leap in social productivity, improve human's ability to understand and transform the world in a wider range, at a higher level and to a deeper extent, and further promote the development of economy and society to a higher quality.
In recent years, developed countries represented by the United States and Europe and emerging economies represented by China have paid more and more attention to the strategic planning and deployment of digital industry. Around the target plan, countries / regions have increased the strategic deployment process of digital industry, such as the United States increasing the deployment of AI, quantum, semiconductor and so on, so as to ensure global leadership and technology leadership; The EU issued a series of strategic documents such as 2030 digital compass to firmly realize "digital sovereignty" and regulatory innovation; Germany promotes high-tech strategy and strengthens breakthrough innovation and core industrial competitiveness; Japan focuses on "social 5.0" to promote scientific and technological innovation. On this basis, the overall strategic layout of the global digital industry mainly presents four trends. Artificial intelligence and quantum technology have become the key directions of the strategic deployment of the global digital industry; The scale of R & D investment in digital industry in various countries / regions continues to increase; Countries / regions continue to increase the strategic reserve and training of high-end scientific and technological talents; The degree of international cooperation in the field of digital industry among countries / regions is increasing.
In the future, countries and regions around the world will deepen the strategic layout of digital industry from the aspects of strategy, R & D, competition and cooperation and governance, that is, digital strategy will become more intelligent, green and sustainable; Digital R & D investment seeks the balance of competitive advantage in the basic and application fields and in the international strategic situation; The competition pattern of digital industry may increase the "digital divide"; Digital governance rules are becoming more and more extensive in international cooperation. Countries around the world will continue to promote high-quality economic and social development and move towards the goal of common prosperity in the accelerated layout and innovation drive of digital industry strategy!
