2023 High Quality Development Forum Of Modern Textile Industry Cluster Will Be Held In Hefei

From September 20 to 24, 2023, the World Manufacturing Conference will be held in Hefei, Anhui Province. The World Manufacturing Conference is an important international conference approved by the State Council and the first event in Anhui Province, which has strongly promoted the high-quality development of Anhui's manufacturing industry and made the world share more opportunities of manufacturing in China. The theme of this conference is "Create a beautiful world with intelligence", and it is committed to building Anhui's landmark, leading and high-energy open cooperation platform and an internationally influential manufacturing event.

On September 21, 2023 High Quality Development Forum of Modern Textile Industry Cluster and 2023 National Textile Industry Cluster Working Conference will also be held at the same time. The convening of this textile cluster conference not only brings a new direction and grasp for the high-end development of China's textile industry, but also provides a publicity and promotion platform for the "World Manufacturing Conference" to trigger energy gathering influence.

Integrating digital economy and promoting the construction of modern textile clusters

Recently, the China Textile Industry Federation released the Action Plan for Building a Modern Textile Industry System (2022-2035), which proposes seven key actions to promote, one of which is to promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the textile industry. The action outline points out that developing digital economy is a strategic choice to grasp the new round of scientific and technological revolution and new opportunities of industrial transformation. It is necessary to promote the integration and application of artificial intelligence, industrial Internet, big data, industrial robots and other key technologies of digital economy in the textile industry, and improve the basic digital and intelligent capabilities of the industry. Promote the development of new models and new business types under the digital transformation.

For a long time, industrial cluster is an important ecological support for industry transformation and upgrading, an important carrier of industry service regional strategy, and an important hub for efficient circulation of industrial factors. As an important part of the whole textile industry, textile industry cluster has a long way to go in the process of modernization. By the end of 2022, the total number of industrial cluster pilots identified by China Textile Federation has reached 202, the textile industry output value has reached 3.77 trillion yuan, the number of employees has exceeded 7 million, and the total number of enterprises has exceeded 250000.

It is also imperative to guide the adjustment of the industrial structure and sustainable development of the national textile industry cluster, promote the high-end, digital, intelligent, branding and green development of the textile and clothing industry cluster, accelerate the development of advanced manufacturing industry cluster, and constantly achieve breakthroughs in quantity and quality improvement.

Accelerating "digital transformation" is the main path to enhance core competitiveness, the only way to achieve high-quality development, the necessary answer for small, medium-sized and micro enterprises, and the only way for textile clusters from scale to efficiency. In fact, with the changes in consumption patterns and market demand, the traditional textile and clothing industry is also facing many development problems, such as high inventory pressure, variable demand and difficult matching. Under the industrial background of "production based on sales" and "quick response to small orders", the cluster industry chain also urgently needs digital means of data intelligence to change, to help gather more people and clothing manufacturing enterprises to break through the development bottleneck, Transform and digitize, and jointly create a new ecology of digital transformation of traditional industries.

In 2022, the third round of advanced manufacturing cluster finals of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Suxitong high-end textile cluster was selected into the "national team", which is the first time that textile industry cluster was selected. It can be seen that building a modern textile industry cluster and driving hundreds of thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises to fully realize modernization is a task that we must strive to accomplish in the next decade or so.

Cluster gathering to enhance the competitiveness of Anhui textile and clothing cluster

As the pillar industry and traditional advantageous industry of the national economy, the textile industry has a high degree of marketization and internationalization. On the basis of basically building a textile power, it is necessary to further promote the modernization level of the whole textile industry chain and contribute to the textile industry for the modernization of China.

The cluster working conference of China Textile Industry Federation was held in Anhui, which will promote the linkage between industry and regional development, build a regional economic layout and modern industrial system with complementary advantages and high-quality development, and form a productive force layout with integrated development of the east, the west, and the east.

Anhui's textile industry has a good industrial foundation, with outstanding cost advantages in raw materials, labor resources and other factors. At the same time, it has favorable conditions to undertake industrial gradient transfer and actively explore the international market, with huge potential for latecomers.

In recent years, the textile and clothing industry in the Yangtze River Delta is undergoing orderly transformation and upgrading, and some textile enterprises have begun to move out of the layout. For Anhui, which is deeply integrated into the Yangtze River Delta, undertaking industrial transfer not only has inherent geographical advantages, but also has the support of resource elements and human advantages.

At present, Anhui textile industry cluster has begun to take shape and scale. In particular, as Anhui Province has incorporated textile and clothing into the "7+5" key industry of a strong manufacturing province, it has given key support and development, further improved its industrial scale and innovation ability, and achieved major breakthroughs in the fields of high-performance, high-performance fiber materials, high-end textile fabrics and creative design. Since the "13th Five Year Plan", Anhui Province has formed many emerging textile industry clusters represented by Anqing, Fuyang, Bozhou, Chizhou, Bengbu, Lu'an and other places. Today, the trend of undertaking industrial transfer is accelerating, and many textile and clothing enterprises regard it as a new value depression for industrial development.
