BEIJING, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) — China is driving continuous breakthroughs in frontier technologies, fostering the development of future industries as part of efforts to cultivate new growth engines.
Industries of the future are characterized by foresight, strategic importance and disruptive potential, as exemplified by fields such as quantum technology, biomanufacturing, hydrogen and nuclear fusion power, brain-computer interfaces, embodied artificial intelligence (AI) and 6G mobile communications.
These six sectors were explicitly highlighted in the Communist Party of China Central Committee’s recommendations for formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) released in October last year.
The document calls for exploring diverse technology roadmaps, identifying typical application scenarios, developing feasible business models, and formulating appropriate market regulation rules for these industries, with the goal of nurturing them into new drivers of economic growth.
