On August 12, Kong Fanping, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, traveled to the Lingang District to investigate the development of the new-generation information technology industrial chain. The visit underscored the importance of establishing and adhering to a proper perspective on performance, fostering new productive forces tailored to local conditions, and actively seizing opportunities presented by artificial intelligence to strengthen the new-generation information technology sector, thereby injecting new momentum into the city's high-quality development.
At the Weihai Zero-Carbon City Empowerment Center, Kong Fanping observed the "Lingsi" city intelligent operation platform for social governance in the Lingang District. He reviewed details on data aggregation, intelligent algorithms, scenario applications, and product terminals. He emphasized the need to continuously explore the value of data elements and expand modular application scenarios, leveraging digital and intelligent technologies to enhance the efficiency and quality of social governance.
At Weihai Juqiao Industrial Technology Co., Ltd., Kong Fanping visited the company’s exhibition hall and production workshops to gain an in-depth understanding of the research and development of flexible fiber sensors. He encouraged the company to strengthen its independent innovation, enhance technological breakthroughs and product development, and consistently improve its core competitiveness.
At Weihai Tianyi Space Technology Co., Ltd., Kong Fanping inspected the construction of a research and pilot base for space electromechanical systems. He urged the company to target the new track of the aerospace information industry, enhance collaborative innovation between industry, academia, and research, accelerate the process of industrializing technological achievements, and drive the company's growth and expansion.
Kong Fanping emphasized that the new-generation information technology industry is a vital strategic and pioneering sector. It is necessary to seize the opportunity presented by artificial intelligence, promote the deep integration of technological and industrial innovation, and create new competitive advantages for the industry. He stressed the importance of implementing the "chain chief" working mechanism effectively, using a "chain-thinking" approach to precisely extend, supplement, and strengthen the industrial chain. This should promote the coordinated development of upstream and downstream segments in the chain, including intelligent sensing, packaging and testing, terminal manufacturing, and demonstration applications.
He also called for the in-depth implementation of the "AI+" action, strengthening the integrated application of computing power, algorithms, and data. This approach should drive the integration of digital and intelligent technologies with areas such as industrial manufacturing, medical and health care, and cultural tourism. Furthermore, he highlighted the need to strengthen services for enterprises within the industrial chain, fostering the deep integration of the industrial, talent, education, innovation, and financial chains. This would ensure the precise provision of factors and continuously enhance the development level of the industry.
Finally, Kong Fanping pointed out the need to focus on key areas such as maritime safety, forest fire prevention, fire safety, hazardous chemical safety, and electric bicycle management. He called for expanding the application of smart governance scenarios, using digital and intelligent technologies to build a solid line of defense for urban safety.
