As one of the innovative provinces in China, Anhui is currently making full use of its rich innovation resources, industrial foundation, and research conditions to develop new quality productive forces tailored to local conditions. It is actively promoting the high-end, intelligent, and green transformation of industries.

At the Grand Union of Innovation (USTC Silicon Valley) Biomedical Innovation Center, which is part of the Institute of Advanced Technology, USTC, cutting-edge innovative achievements from universities and research institutes both inside and outside the province can accelerate their transition from the laboratory to practical applications. Researchers told reporters that it is thanks to the platform advantages of Hefei, a comprehensive national science center, and the policy support of the Grand Union of Innovation in promoting the transformation of achievements that their research results have successfully moved from the "bookshelf" to the "shelf."

Currently, the Grand Union of Innovation has gathered over 800 high-tech companies and nearly 10,000 innovative and entrepreneurial talents. In order to enable the sprouting of more new quality productive forces to break ground quickly, the Grand Union of Innovation has implemented 27 reforms in areas such as achievement transformation, talent policies, and investment and financing. Both the provincial and municipal governments have actively introduced supporting policies to support these reforms. After the reforms, the university assigns intellectual property rights to researchers, allowing them to establish companies. Through the agreed share of profits, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and appreciation of state-owned assets are realized.

Benefiting from the continuous optimization of the province's innovation ecosystem, a large number of high-quality scientific and technological achievements in Anhui are rapidly being transformed and applied. This not only promotes the innovative development of the "new three" industries such as new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and solar photovoltaics but also accelerates the incubation and growth of future industries such as synthetic biology, artificial intelligence, and aerospace information, driving the formation of new quality productive forces. During this period, at Lingkong Technology Co., Ltd. in Bengbu City, technical personnel are conducting final performance testing on aerospace composite materials that are about to be delivered. As a high-tech enterprise specializing in the research, development, and production of functional composite materials for high-speed aircraft and rockets, over the past year, their products have successfully supported more than 70 commercial aerospace flight missions.

The development of new quality productive forces relies on clustering and innovation leadership. Based on abundant innovation resources and a favorable business environment, strategic emerging industries such as new-generation information technology and new materials in Anhui are flourishing. The industrial output value is accelerating towards the trillion yuan mark. In the past year, the value-added of Anhui's manufacturing industry increased by 7%, and the value-added of high-tech industries increased by 11.2%, contributing over 70% to the growth of industries above designated size.
