China encourages and supports enterprises to cultivate future industries, unleash new growth momentum and seek first-mover advantages, said Jin Zhuanglong, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, at a press conference in Beijing on Friday.

Future industries refer to new industries integrated with advanced technology, such as metaverse, humanoid robots, brain-computer interface and quantum information.

A new guideline, unveiled by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and six other government departments in January, emphasized seizing global trends in sci-tech revolution and industrial transformation, with a particular focus on six key directions: future manufacturing, future information, future materials, future energy, future space and future health.

At present, China's strategic emerging industries account for 13 percent of GDP, with huge potential for growth.

The guideline set the goals of fostering a batch of leading enterprises in emerging industries such as new materials, artificial intelligence, intelligent connected new-energy vehicles, new energy storage, hydrogen energy, biomanufacturing, commercial spaceflight, and low-altitude economy.

"In the next step, centering around the six directions, we will focus on the fields of humanoid robots, brain-computer interfaces, metaverse, next-generation Internet, 6G, quantum technology, atomically precise manufacturing, deep-sea exploration and space development, carry out a batch of projects for sci-tech development, make breakthroughs in a number of key core technologies, come up with a wealth of signature products or outcomes, and set up a group of future industry incubators," said Jin.
