On April 21, the State Council Information Office held a press conference to introduce the development of industry and information technology in the first quarter of 2026. Zhang Yunming, the Vice Minister of Industry and Information Technology, stated that the key to promoting the future industry from the laboratory to the mass market is to adhere to industrial challenges and technological solutions, and to break through the bottlenecks and obstacles between technological innovation and market demand. In terms of technological supply, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will focus on the actual needs of industrial development, deploy key tasks, strengthen the synergy between technical research and application research, promote the construction of manufacturing innovation centers, pilot platforms, and other carriers, and accelerate the transition of original technologies to Chinese-style and large-scale production; in terms of policy support, promote the formulation of universal policies and segmented track policies. Today's future industries will become tomorrow's emerging industries and even pillar industries. Only by closely seizing the foresighted layout of future industries today can we seize the high ground of development tomorrow.
