Textile and garment industry is the traditional competitive industry of Binzhou and Zouping, and also an important livelihood industry. In recent years, under the careful guidance of Binzhou Textile Industry Association, under the joint efforts of enterprises led by Weiqiao Textile, we have accelerated the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry, showing the new characteristics of large cluster scale, strong technical support, sufficient green quality, and excellent characteristic brands, and the traditional industry has shown new vitality. Especially in the past year, Binzhou's textile industry has achieved leapfrog growth. First, it has stepped forward to "strong" and the cluster scale has reached a new level; The second is to develop towards "new" and realize a new leap in industrial level; Third, the brand effect has made new breakthroughs in the "upward" climb; The fourth is to move forward to "excellence" and show new achievements in association services. Binzhou Textile Industry Association has formed a batch of new technologies, new products and new business types by building an exchange platform, deepening industrial cooperation, promoting the continuous updating of products, processes and processes, and making outstanding contributions to the cultivation and development of new quality productivity and boosting the high-quality development of regional economy and society.
Zhang Hongxia said that in 2024, facing the severe and complicated domestic and international market situation, under the strong leadership of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, with the strong support of relevant departments directly under the municipal government, and with the joint efforts of all members, Binzhou's textile industry will continue to maintain a good momentum of steady and high-quality development. The textile enterprises in the city actively participate in the three major campaigns, continuously improve the eight major qualities, pay close attention to project construction, innovative transformation, green development, unswervingly follow the new industrialization path, and make due contributions to the construction of quality Binzhou.
In 2025, based on the actual situation of Binzhou's textile industry, the textile enterprises should be firm in confidence, take the initiative, firmly follow the path of high-end, intelligent and green transformation and upgrading, focus on "four empowerment", and promote the realization of "four upgrading".
First, focus on technology empowerment to promote the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure. Science and technology is the core element of new quality productivity and the core force to promote industrial upgrading. We should make great efforts in product innovation, continue to optimize the product structure, adhere to market orientation, actively expand the application of raw materials, and research and develop products with high technological content and high added value to meet consumer needs. We should make great efforts in technological innovation, introduce or develop new technologies and equipment, improve crude oil production process, and improve production efficiency and product quality. We should pay attention to intellectual property protection, actively participate in patent application and standard formulation and revision, and promote the standardization of technological achievements. We should continue to deepen the cooperation between industry, university and research, closely cooperate with textile colleges, accelerate the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, make full use of the enterprise's own innovation platform and the advantages of Binzhou Bohai and Weiqiao Guoke two major technology research institutes, strengthen cooperation with local enterprises, jointly build Binzhou textile industry innovation ecology, and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry.
The second is to focus on digital intelligence enabling and promote the upgrading of industrial intelligent manufacturing. Intelligent manufacturing has become the consensus of the current industry development. It is necessary to constantly improve the manufacturing level by introducing advanced technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence and 5G, carry out intelligent transformation for different enterprises, and encourage and guide leading backbone enterprises to increase the transformation of intelligent chemical plants. Vigorously support SMEs to carry out intelligent transformation of key processes. It is necessary to carry out intelligent transformation for the subdivided fields. The textile, printing and dyeing, carpet, rope net and other fields have different requirements for the maturity of intelligence. It is necessary to actively introduce different typical scenarios and solutions of intelligent manufacturing to better promote the upgrading of industrial intelligence.
The third is to focus on green empowerment and promote the upgrading of industrial sustainable development. We will continue to deeply implement the concept that green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains. We will continue to optimize the energy structure and expand the proportion of clean energy, led by the realization of the dual carbon goal. Continue to strengthen green innovation, research and develop green products, introduce energy-saving equipment, and create a short process and efficient production process. Accelerate the construction of green factories, improve the green supply chain, and comprehensively coordinate to promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction, and green growth. Continuously improve the construction of ESG standard system and deeply practice green and sustainable development.
Fourth, focus on opening up and enabling, and promote the development and upgrading of domestic and foreign markets. It is necessary to give full play to Binzhou's advantages in the integrity of its textile industry chain and the diversity of its subdivided industries, and actively explore domestic and foreign markets. On the basis of consolidating the traditional advantageous markets, it is necessary to make good use of the policy advantages of the Belt and Road RCEP agreement, strengthen cooperation with Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, Africa and other regions, explore emerging markets, and create a diversified market pattern. The attraction and leading force of Binzhou textile industry to the global industrial chain, supply chain and value chain will be strengthened through deeper introduction and going out, and the international competitiveness of Binzhou textile industry will always be maintained.
