6G is coming! 20 future industries will be laid out here!

Recently, Beijing released the "Beijing Implementation Plan for Promoting the Innovation and Development of Future Industries". According to the plan, the city will focus on six major areas and layout 20 future industries. At the same time, it will implement eight actions to seize the opportunities for the development of future industries and build Beijing into a world-leading source of future industries .

The plan proposes that by 2030 , the city will have developed a number of disruptive technologies and major original achievements, fostered a number of industry-leading enterprises and unicorn enterprises, and trained and introduced a number of strategic scientists, industry leaders, industry managers and outstanding engineers ; by 2035 , it will have gathered a number of innovative entities with international influence and voice, and become a leader in the development of the global future industry.

Future industries are driven by original new technologies and cross-integration technologies, which can create new demands and new scenarios, and play a supporting and leading role in the economy and society. They are currently in the embryonic stage or early stage of industrialization, and have the potential to grow into an industry with a scale of 100 billion in the next 5 to 15 years. "Beijing has obvious advantages in developing future industries." The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Bureau of Economics and Information Technology introduced that the Global Future Industry Development Index Report shows that in the list of the top 20 cities in the future industry, China ranks second in the world, following the United States, and Beijing ranks first in the country in the number of listed companies. The plan is based on Beijing's advantages in science and technology industry resources, and uses the supply of cutting-edge technology capabilities to lead new scenarios and create new demands, and systematically build a full-chain future industry ecosystem.

Medical health and new generation information technology are the "twin engines" supporting Beijing's industrial development. On this basis, nearly half of the future industries targeted by the plan are from the information and health fields. Facing the future needs of information communication and advanced computing, the city will focus on developing general artificial intelligence, the sixth generation of mobile communications (6G), metaverse, quantum information, optoelectronics and other sub-industries in Haidian, Chaoyang, Shijingshan, Tongzhou, Economic Development Zone and other regions.

Among them, for the highly anticipated 6G, the city will carry out key core technology research such as 6G network architecture, build a network and application integration test platform, and proactively explore and layout typical application scenarios. In the metaverse industry, it will focus on breakthroughs in cutting-edge underlying technologies such as high-performance computing chips and virtual reality operating systems, and promote the innovative application of key metaverse technologies in smart cities, film and television entertainment, digital creativity and other fields.

Facing the future needs of life, health and medical care, the city will focus on developing sub-industries such as gene technology, cell therapy and regenerative medicine, brain science and brain-computer interface, and synthetic biology in Haidian, Shijingshan, Tongzhou, Changping, Daxing, Pinggu, Miyun, and the Economic Development Zone. In terms of gene technology, which is of concern to citizens, it will support clinical trials and application promotion of advanced gene diagnosis and treatment technologies and drugs in the fields of disease risk screening, prevention, and targeted treatment. Breakthroughs in key technologies such as vertical recovery of rockets

"The purpose of formulating this plan is to seize the opportunities of a new round of technological and industrial changes, promote the innovative development of future industries, and promote the transformation of Beijing's education, technology, and talent advantages into industrial advantages, so as to better serve the high-quality development of the capital in the new era." The relevant person in charge said that to cultivate future industries, it is necessary to focus on the new future social landscape driven by scientific and technological progress. Traditional industries will also transform into the "future". The plan clearly states that in the future manufacturing field, it will focus on the development of sub-industries such as humanoid robots and smart travel in response to the needs of high-end, intelligent, green and integrated manufacturing in the future. Among them, the humanoid robot industry focuses on supporting the integrated development of robot technology and multi-modal large models, and promotes the evolution of robots from "humanoid" to "humanoid"; the smart travel industry that changes the way citizens travel focuses on new energy flying car carriers and unmanned driving technology, and supports the integration of industrial technologies such as intelligent networked vehicles, general aviation and unmanned aircraft.

In the future, the energy sector will focus on the development of hydrogen energy, new energy storage, carbon capture and storage, and other sub-industries, centering on the needs of building new energy systems. In the future, the materials sector will focus on the development of graphene materials, superconducting materials, and new generation biomedical materials. In the future, the space sector will focus on the development of commercial aerospace, satellite networks, and other sub-industries.

Among them, the commercial aerospace industry will accelerate the research, development and production of bundled medium and large commercial rockets, 3D printed rockets, high-thrust reusable full-flow regenerative cycle engines, and commercial payload return capsules, and make breakthroughs in key technologies and industrial applications such as rocket vertical recovery, manned suborbital travel, and space debris cleaning.

Eight major actions to build an innovative development ecosystem

At present, many future industries are still in their infancy, but they have unlimited potential. How can these industries grow better in Beijing? The relevant person in charge said that the city will systematically build a full-chain future industry cultivation ecosystem with technology productization, product industrialization and industrial scale.
The plan clearly states that eight major actions will be implemented, including original achievement breakthrough action, pilot incubation acceleration action, industrial gradient co-advancement action, innovation partner collaboration action, application scenario construction action, science and technology finance empowerment action, innovative talent gathering action, and international exchange and cooperation action, to build a future industrial innovation and development ecosystem.

Among them, the "Original Achievement Breakthrough Action" is highly anticipated. The city will rely on national laboratories, national research institutions, high-level research universities, and leading technology companies in Beijing to take the lead or participate in the construction of national innovation platforms, accelerate the formation of cutting-edge, cross-cutting, and disruptive original technological achievements, and achieve more "from 0 to 1" breakthroughs; on the other hand, it will also focus on Beijing's advantageous fields, build scientific highlands in the fields of artificial intelligence, quantum information, life sciences, etc., and make every effort to promote the research and development of materials, components, high-end chips, etc., and realize the independent control of future industrial software and hardware.
