Recently, Shandong Province officially issued the "Shandong Province 'Artificial Intelligence+Manufacturing' Action Plan (2026-2028)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), which deeply implements the national "Artificial Intelligence+" action deployment, takes the dual empowerment of technology and application as the core, promotes the leap from "Shandong Manufacturing" to "Shandong Intelligent Manufacturing", and cultivates and strengthens new quality productivity for the province's new industrialization.
As the province with the most complete industrial categories in China, Shandong has all 41 major industrial categories, with a profound manufacturing background and rich transformation scenarios, providing a natural testing ground for the landing of artificial intelligence technology. Based on this advantage, the Plan clarifies the overall development strategy, adheres to scenario driven, innovation driven, and integrated empowerment, comprehensively promotes the deep penetration of artificial intelligence in key manufacturing scenarios, enterprises, and industries, accelerates the intelligent, green, and integrated development of manufacturing, and comprehensively empowers the construction of new industrialization.
The Plan sets clear quantitative targets, aiming to achieve a revenue of over 250 billion yuan in the province's artificial intelligence industry by 2028, accounting for over 10% of the national total; Breakthrough has been achieved in the research and development of industrial general large-scale models, and the industry large-scale model system has been basically established, creating 200 high-level industrial intelligent agents; Build 10 pioneering applications of "artificial intelligence+manufacturing", cultivate more than 50 innovative carriers, and form a dual core leadership, multi-point support, and global collaborative pattern; Build a batch of industry level artificial intelligence capability centers, promote 100 high-value application scenarios, and strive to create a national intelligent manufacturing leading demonstration zone.
Focusing on key links and key areas, the 'Plan' specifies the core tasks. Around the six major links of research and development design, production and manufacturing, supply and marketing services, operation and maintenance after-sales, business management, and industrial collaboration, we have identified 18 high-value scenarios, released application guidelines, and promoted the integration of artificial intelligence into the entire production and operation chain. We will focus on empowering the four major industries of raw materials, equipment manufacturing, consumer goods, and electronic information, promote intelligent smelting and unmanned warehousing in the metallurgical field, build intelligent production lines and traceability systems in the food industry, and develop flexible production and personalized customization in the light industry and textile industry.
Innovate the promotion mechanism and strengthen the implementation guarantee. Shandong has launched the first batch of "Artificial Intelligence+Manufacturing" pioneer applications, aiming at 10 industries including chemical, equipment, and steel, and promoting the creation of benchmarks in various regions according to the principle of "one industry, one city". Build a collaborative innovation system for industry, academia, research, and application, support the research and development of core technologies such as industrial models and intelligent agents, establish industry level artificial intelligence capability centers, and solve technological bottlenecks in enterprise transformation. At the same time, we will increase policy support and lower the application threshold for enterprises through funding incentives, technological transformation support, and other means, in order to stimulate transformation vitality.
Currently, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating, and artificial intelligence has become the core engine for the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. The introduction of this' Plan 'is a key measure for Shandong to seize opportunities and cultivate new quality productivity. With the implementation of various tasks, Shandong will continue to deepen the integration of data and reality, promote the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the manufacturing industry, provide a "Shandong model" for the integrated development of "artificial intelligence+manufacturing" nationwide, and help build a strong manufacturing country.
