Technological Innovation: Representative Members Of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, Offer Good Strategies For The Textile Market

The textile industry is the traditional pillar industry of the national economy, and also an industry with obvious international competitive advantages. However, while helping the economic and social development, it also faces the trouble of high energy consumption, high water consumption and high pollution. In the face of the requirements of high-quality development, how can we make a piece of cloth more green, sustainable and revitalized?

Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, is famous for its "cloth", and is home to the world's largest textile distribution center. During the ongoing two sessions of Shaoxing City, several representatives made suggestions for the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries.

In the opinion of Ma Hongguang, member of the Shaoxing Municipal Committee of the CPPCC and vice chairman of the Shaoxing Keqiao District Taiwan Friendship Association, AI is the driving force of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial change, and also an important engine to develop new quality productivity according to local conditions. However, from the current point of view, AI empowerment of traditional industries can not be achieved by "one enterprise", but requires cooperation between upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.

Ma Hongguang has focused on the field of textile intelligent equipment manufacturing for many years, and knows that new technologies have great potential in promoting the upgrading of traditional industries. For example, her company once cooperated with technology enterprises to develop intelligent cloth inspection machines, which realized accurate identification and real-time detection of fabric defects.

In the face of the personalized and diversified demands of the textile market, Ma Hongguang suggested that we should strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, especially open up a green channel for the application of AI technology patents, support the application of innovative products, and accelerate the expansion of scenario applications.

Accelerating the traditional industry to be "new" can not be separated from the support of education, science and technology, and talents. Chen Mingjun, member of the Shaoxing Municipal Committee of the CPPCC, and member of the Shaoxing Municipal Committee of the National Revolutionary Movement, has a lot of feelings about this.

"In recent years, Shaoxing has vigorously promoted the deepening of innovation and the construction of the '315' science and technology innovation system, and accelerated the construction of the trinity development of educational and scientific talents. However, in the training and management of high-level talents, there are still some problems, such as the lagging concept of talent training and management, the poor supporting policies and management mechanisms related to talents, and the speed of education update can not keep up with the market iteration speed, which makes it difficult for high-level talents to directly meet the practical needs of modern industrial layout and key core technology research. " Chen Mingjun said.

He suggested that we should actively expand the ways of coordinated education between schools and enterprises. For example, according to the needs of Shaoxing's key industries, schools and enterprises should cooperate to add urgently needed majors, carry out entrusted training, order training and apprenticeship training, so that more outstanding engineers and skilled craftsmen from the front line of the industry can participate in talent training, and transform the common problems of enterprise innovation into educational reform and talent training issues.

If scientific and technological innovation is the core driving force for high-quality development of the textile industry, then cultural power is a solid support for strengthening the soft power of the textile industry.

Cui Guixin, a deputy to Shaoxing Municipal People's Congress and president of the Jiangnan Branch of the China Academy of Textile Sciences, believes that Shaoxing has a profound cultural foundation, with its city site unchanged for more than 2500 years. The local government should give full play to the comprehensive advantages of industry and culture, promote the cultural construction of Shaoxing's modern textile industry, and meet the needs of the people for a better life.

"We can strengthen the inheritance, protection and commercial development of Shaoxing's traditional skills such as dyeing, silk and cloth arts, strengthen the inheritance and market application of textile intangible cultural heritage such as plant dyeing, and explore the formation of differentiated and characteristic fashion products," Cui Guixin said.

In addition, from the perspective of product structure, Cui Guixin said that we should start from demand, accelerate the integration of the textile industry with digital economy, bio economy, green economy and other fields, broaden the industrial scene and market boundaries, grasp the changes in demand, and develop personalized textile products such as health, comfort, ecological and environmental protection, and safety protection.
