【 Policy Interpretation 】 Shandong's Nine Departments Expand Recruitment: Eight Major Terminals and Five Major Paths, Who Can Eat the Largest Cake in the 450 Billion Dollar Race
Recently, the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Shandong Province, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and nine other departments jointly issued the "Action Plan for Innovative Development of Artificial Intelligence Terminals in Shandong Province" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). With eight major terminal categories as the starting point and five implementation paths as the support, real money will be poured into technology research, enterprise cultivation, and scene expansion to promote the complete transformation of the industry and lay a solid industrial foundation for the cultivation of new quality productivity.
The eight terminal areas laid out in the "Plan" clearly define that industrial terminals will focus on the research and development of core products such as intelligent sensors, industrial control data security, intelligent control, intelligent monitoring, and data acquisition networking. The long-standing problems of "equipment insensitivity, difficult data collection, and difficult fault warning" that have plagued enterprises will be achieved through AI terminal technology to achieve historic breakthroughs. Of particular note is that the document proposes to "support the adaptation and optimization of existing industrial terminals and large models", enabling old equipment to be equipped with new brains and every machine tool, production line, and factory to be equipped with intelligent neurons. In the field of intelligent computers, specialized and general-purpose AI computers, as well as "out of the box" large model all-in-one machines, have powerful reasoning and data throughput capabilities, which will greatly improve equipment research and development design efficiency and shorten product iteration cycles; In the field of commercial terminals, the capacity expansion of intelligent inspection and intelligent control terminals has not only opened up diversified application scenarios for enterprises, but also promoted technological iteration through scenario feedback; Technological breakthroughs in fields such as smart home appliances and virtual reality terminals will drive the upgrading of upstream and downstream component industries, forming a virtuous cycle of "terminal innovation component upgrading equipment optimization".
The Plan establishes a complete support system through five implementation paths, targeting the pain points of industrial transformation from five dimensions: innovation, subject, market, ecology, and factorsOne is to break through the bottleneck of "bottleneck" technology with real gold and silver,Mastering the industry discourse power, focusing on key core technologies such as end-to-end intelligent computing, embodied intelligence, and end-to-end cloud collaboration, supporting enterprises to form innovation consortia with universities and institutions, gathering innovative elements to promote the deep integration of AI technology and equipment manufacturing. For newly upgraded national platforms without national supporting funds, the provincial level will provide 10 million yuan in funding support; Units that lead the revision of high-level international standards, national standards, and local standards will be awarded up to 400000 yuan, 200000 yuan, and 100000 yuan respectively, to assist Shandong's equipment manufacturing industry in gaining industry discourse power and achieving coordinated development of technology, patents, and standards.The second is to strengthen and improve the hierarchical cultivation mechanism of enterprises,Form a pattern of leading enterprises and coordinated development of small and medium-sized enterprises. Support leading enterprises to participate in major projects such as "Two New" and "East West Calculation", and strengthen their industry discourse power; Assist small and medium-sized enterprises in focusing on niche areas, improving product usability and user experience, and accelerating the creation of high-tech, specialized, innovative, and single champion enterprises. For newly recognized national key "little giant" enterprises in the field of artificial intelligence terminals, a maximum reward of 6 million yuan per household will be given to fully activate the innovation vitality of small and medium-sized enterprises; Focusing on key areas such as core components and critical functional materials, we will lay out a batch of high-quality projects with large investment scale and high technological content, fill the gaps in the industrial chain, and enhance the overall competitiveness of the industry.Thirdly, we will increase support for first set and first piece products,The first set of equipment in the industrial field will be treated equally with consumer terminals such as home appliances and computers. High quality AI terminal products will be selected annually and given a one-time reward. Through government procurement, first purchase, ordering, and other methods, the "first market" will be opened up for innovative products of enterprises, promoting the full development of scenarios such as government governance, social livelihood, and industrial upgrading; Through measures such as third-party high-end quality certification, and the special action of "increasing variety, improving quality, and creating brands", we guide enterprises to accelerate technological iteration and cultivate a number of regional characteristic brands and internationally renowned brands.The fourth is to build a collaborative innovation industry ecosystem,Promote the coordinated development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, support AI terminal enterprises to participate in the construction of open source ecosystems, create open platforms, and provide innovative resources such as algorithm models, development tools, and datasets. The government sets up platforms to hold a series of activities such as integrating and consolidating chains, industry university research docking, etc., to guide integrated circuit, high-end software, large model enterprises and research institutes to tailor supporting products for enterprises, achieve software and hardware compatibility, and promote collaborative application promotion. Support the joint construction of research and development verification platforms by enterprises and universities, providing services such as pilot testing, engineering development, and process improvement, accelerating the engineering implementation of technological achievements, and forming a collaborative innovation community.The fifth is to strengthen the guarantee of essential factors,Based on the urgent needs of industrial development, we will integrate provincial financial incentive policies such as integrated circuits, industrial software, and large models, and increase investment in resource factors. Relying on the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, the project aims to promote the widespread application of AI terminals in the industrial sector; Give full play to the role of the Provincial New and Old Energy Conversion Fund, broaden the market-oriented financing channels for enterprises, and accurately enhance industrial financing support; Implement a special action plan for talent in the field of artificial intelligence, leverage the integration mechanism of the "four chains (talent chain, education chain, industry chain, innovation chain)", support enterprises, universities, and research institutes to carry out talent attraction and sharing, industry education integration and collaborative education, and provide solid funding and talent support for the intelligent transformation of the equipment manufacturing industry.
The Plan clarifies the clear development blueprint for artificial intelligence terminals in our province: by 2027, the scale of the artificial intelligence terminal industry in the province will exceed 450 billion yuan, the output of key products will exceed 100 million units, about 10 leading domestic enterprises and single champion enterprises will be cultivated, more than 100 innovative products such as first piece electronic products and first set of equipment will be formed, a national first-class artificial intelligence terminal industry cluster area and a new highland for integrated applications will be built, and enterprises will be promoted to shift from selling products to selling intelligent solutions. In terms of local division of labor, the "Plan" has established a pattern of "racing horses in various cities and distinctive breakthroughs": Jinan focuses on computing terminals and display terminals, Qingdao focuses on smart home appliances and virtual reality, Weifang focuses on metaverse and wearable devices, Zibo deeply cultivates the sensor field, Weihai focuses on building application scenarios for commercial terminals, and Dezhou focuses on smartphones... Whoever achieves intelligent upgrading of their equipment first will be able to eat the biggest cake in the 450 billion yuan race.
The introduction of the "Plan" is a strategic choice for Shandong to leverage its industrial advantages and seize opportunities for AI development. It enables every device to "think", every factory to have a "digital twin", and every production line to "self optimize". In the short term, enterprises in the industrial chain such as smart sensors and industrial control equipment will usher in a three-year golden period, with orders continuing to surge; In the medium term, the completion and implementation of more than 100 smart factories will promote the transformation of digital transformation from "accumulation of quantity" to "leap of quality"; In the long run, Shandong enterprises, especially equipment manufacturing enterprises, will take AI terminals as a breakthrough point, get rid of low price competition, significantly improve product premium ability, and complete a transformative industrial revolution.
