Industry Trends: 2024 China Textile Industry Cluster Development Conference Held In Keqiao

As an important organizational form of textile industry development, industrial cluster is the key support for cultivating new quality productivity and an important position for high-quality industrial development. Therefore, promoting the modernization of textile industry cluster governance, improving the level of digital and intelligent transformation, collaborative manufacturing, lean manufacturing and green manufacturing of regional industries, and exploring a new mode of cluster economic development in the construction of modern textile industry system have become the current important issues.

On December 5, with the theme of "coordination&innovation to comprehensively promote the modernization of cluster governance", sponsored by the China Textile Industry Federation, undertaken by the Industry Cluster Working Committee of the China Textile Industry Federation, the China Textile Industry Enterprise Management Association, and co sponsored by Zhejiang China Light Textile City Group Co., Ltd 2024 China Textile Industry Cluster Development Conference It was held in Keqiao, Shaoxing.

　　 Yuan Xiaowen, member of the Standing Committee of Keqiao District Committee of Shaoxing City and secretary of the Party Working Committee of China Light Textile City In his speech, he introduced that Keqiao is known as "a strong economic zone supported by a piece of cloth". As the most representative textile industry cluster base in China, nearly 1/4 of the fabrics in the world are sold here every year, and the annual turnover of the market exceeds 360 billion yuan, making it the largest textile distribution center in the world with the most varieties of business. Focusing on the positioning of "green high-end and world leading", in recent years, Keqiao has focused on the further improvement of industrial advantages, promoted the clustering of chains and clusters, deeply implemented the project of "strengthening the chain and strengthening the cluster", and actively built a world-class modern textile and clothing industry cluster.

In November, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that the "Hangzhou Bay Modern Textile and Garment Cluster" led by Shaoxing City in the 2024 Advanced Manufacturing Industry Cluster Competition had successfully won and was selected into the national team. In the next step, Keqiao will accelerate to build "five centers" in the textile field, constantly open up new prospects with new quality productivity, and further exert its power in the construction of "Hangzhou Bay Modern Textile and Clothing Cluster" and the process of Chinese modernization. We will comprehensively promote the development of scientific and technological innovation, fashion creativity, and market layout in the whole chain, promote the development of industrial clusters towards high-end, intelligent, green, and international development, and promote the competitiveness of China's textile industry in the international market.

　　 Sun Ruizhe, President of China Textile Industry Federation In his speech, he pointed out that fostering and strengthening industrial clusters is an important part of the development of the textile industry and the top priority of the industry. Since the reform and opening up, from the initial appearance of industrial agglomeration to the fact that cluster economy now occupies half of the textile industry, many industrial clusters have created the height and thickness of local economic and social development by virtue of the vitality and potential of the textile and clothing industry, and created the temperature and scale of people's beautiful life with the strength and charm of textile and clothing.

With a complete textile industry chain and excellent cluster governance, Shaoxing Keqiao has become the backbone of China's textile industry. It is a true portrayal of the great responsibility, high value and strong development of manufacturing, new technology and beautiful culture.

The steady development of cluster economy is not only crucial to the smooth operation of the textile industry economy, but also plays an important role in supporting the healthy and sustainable development of regional economy. For this reason, Sun Ruizhe put forward several suggestions for the construction of textile industry cluster: first, deepen the "intelligence integration chain" of regional characteristic industry chain; Second, build a "network matrix" to promote industrial development; Third, we should accelerate the promotion of the deeply integrated "digital economy"; Fourth, we should continue to promote the "global supply chain" of regional coordination and integrated development of domestic and foreign trade; Fifth, we must firmly develop innovation oriented "new quality and new efficiency".

　　 Yang Jinchun, Executive Vice President of China Textile Industry Enterprise Management Association and Executive Deputy Director of China Textile Industry Federation Industrial Cluster Working Committee At the meeting, the Report on the Development of China's Textile Industry Cluster in 2024 was made. The report is carried out from the aspects of industrial economic operation, innovation and development of industrial clusters, and modernization of cluster governance. The report points out that according to the monitoring data of key clusters, the economic operation of industrial clusters is basically consistent with the operation of the whole industry, the production supply is growing steadily, the benefit level is improving rapidly, and the export situation is under great pressure. In addition, industrial clusters have a good performance in innovation and development, actively promote the construction of advanced manufacturing clusters, actively integrate into the global supply chain, adhere to the brand development strategy, and further connect with regional development strategies and reasonable layout.

In terms of promoting the modernization of cluster governance, the report points out that cluster governance needs "trinity": the government guides industrial transformation and upgrading, chain leading enterprises drive the coordinated development of SMEs, and development promotion institutions create momentum for cluster development. Therefore, in view of the lack of pertinence and continuity in the formulation and implementation of industrial policies in the current cluster governance, and the failure of chain owners to play a full role, the following suggestions are proposed:

　　 Improve the cluster basic service system. First, optimize the environment for talent gathering and training; Second, improve the protection mechanism of innovation capability; Third, strengthen the construction of infrastructure and public facilities. Build a cluster scientific and technological innovation network system. First, we should continue to strengthen the awareness of technological innovation of enterprises; The second is to promote digital and intelligent management and promote actions into clusters; The third is to build a textile and clothing industry data platform. Improve the cluster power support system. First, expand the service capacity and scope of industrial cluster promotion institutions; The second is to accelerate and improve the institutional system for promoting cluster development; Third, further clarify the functional orientation of the cluster development promotion agency.

　　 Chen Wenxing, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, president of Zhejiang University of Technology, director of Zhejiang Modern Textile Technology Innovation Center At the meeting, we shared the keynote speech of "Fully Promoting the Construction of Modern Textile and Garment Cluster Around Hangzhou Bay". He pointed out that modern textile is one of the four trillion level clusters focused on the "415X" advanced manufacturing cluster system in Zhejiang. The private economy is vigorous, the digital economy is leading in the world, the business environment, professional markets and logistics system are world-class, and the industrial division of labor and cooperation are close. It has the basis for cross regional collaboration to cultivate world-class clusters.

Zhejiang Modern Textile Technology Innovation Center, as a high-energy sci-tech innovation service platform with strong public welfare attributes facing Zhejiang's trillion textile industry, is one of the first six provincial technology innovation centers in Zhejiang Province. It focuses on advanced fiber materials and green textile dyeing and finishing, and lays out major tasks in the field of green intelligent manufacturing and industrial textile materials, To build a world-class source of modern textile technology innovation, a demonstration site for achievements transformation, a gathering place for high-end talents, and a gathering place for public services, so as to jointly promote cluster industry cooperation and common governance.

In addition, Chen Wenxing proposed three measures to achieve the high-quality development of the cluster, namely, expanding the support force, strengthening the high-quality main body, and opening and sharing development. He also proposed the expected indicators of the modern textile and clothing cluster around Hangzhou Bay, namely, building a benchmark of the modern textile and clothing industry with global influence, a source of brands, and a gathering place of elements, By 2027, the output value will reach 1.28 trillion yuan, a batch of "chain owners" will be cultivated, 60 individual champions, 70 "little giants" specializing in new products, and 100 industrial chain enterprise communities will be built.

　　 Hou Yanquan, researcher and associate researcher of industrial cluster theory Focusing on cluster development, the report Organizational Change and Cooperative Innovation: High Quality Development of "Two Wheel Drive" Advanced Manufacturing Cluster was explained.

Hou Yanquan said that advanced manufacturing clusters are advanced in technological innovation, industrial organization and cluster governance mechanism.
