This book analyzes the concept of new quality productive forces through rigorous academic research, exploring its theoretical foundations, formation logic and practical implications.

The concept of new quality productive forces aims at and is crucial for seizing the opportunities of the technological revolution and industrial transformation, while accelerating high-quality development. The authors combine international perspectives on productivity enhancement with China’s development experience, offering valuable insights and practical applications. The book examines how these concepts align with Xi Jinping’s thoughts on the socialist economy and explores the implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy, including the optimization of industrial structure, the development of emerging industries and the cultivation of future industrial clusters.

This scholarly work will be an essential resource for academics, students and those studying China’s economy, innovation and industrial development. It will also serve international observers and policymakers interested in China’s approach to technological innovation and economic transformation.
