The Global Industrial Internet Innovation Development Report was officially released.

On November 7, the China Industrial Internet Research Institute released the "Global Industrial Internet Innovation and Development Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") at the 2022 Global Industrial Internet Conference. The "Report" systematically summarizes the development of the global industrial Internet from six dimensions: development policy, network technology, platform ecology, security, talent system, and industrial economy.
First, the digital policies of major countries are released intensively. In recent years, deepening the application of digital technology and promoting digital transformation have become a common choice for countries to develop the real economy and cultivate competitive advantages. The United States has promoted the advanced manufacturing strategy for ten consecutive years to accelerate the technological innovation and application of digital manufacturing. The EU implements the "industrial 5.0" strategy, promotes the dual transformation of digital and green, and builds a people-oriented, flexible and sustainable industrial chain supply chain. Especially since the outbreak of the epidemic, the industrial chain supply chain has become a key foundation and important guarantee for digital development. Germany's "industrial 4.0" is based on smart factories and smart production lines to consolidate the competitive advantage of manufacturing. Traditional industrial powers and emerging economies such as Britain, France and Japan are strengthening the advantages of digital technology and improving the competitiveness of manufacturing. It can be said that the industrial Internet "is not a revolution of tools, but a tool of revolution" and is forming a global consensus. China's systematic promotion of the development of the industrial Internet, the continuous improvement of support policies in various fields, the continuous increase of local support, and the continuous optimization of the policy environment have injected strong impetus into the promotion of digital transformation.
Second, the industrial Internet network technology innovation is active. Technological boundaries are constantly converging. The complex environment of industrial field promotes the integration of networking technology, industrial wireless network has become an important supplement to the traditional industrial field bus, and the development of 5G + TSN and other fusion technologies is accelerated. The massive connection and frequent interaction of industrial equipment put forward higher requirements for real-time analysis of industrial data, promote the formation of a network technology architecture for cloud network edge-end integration, and drive new OT technologies such as cloud PLC and edge intelligent terminals to accelerate innovation. Technology patents are growing rapidly. Overall, the number of global patent applications for industrial Internet network technology has grown at an average annual rate of over 20% in the past 10 years. In terms of emerging areas, global patent applications for new network technologies such as 5G, TSN and industrial Ethernet have maintained double-digit growth for many years. Graded application accelerated. The rapid evolution and iteration of the new network technology has initially met the requirements of large bandwidth, low delay, wide connection and high reliability of communication in the industrial field, and is gradually integrated into the whole process of production and manufacturing, and the application of innovation continues to deepen. In particular, on the basis of maintaining 5G leadership in China, the process of 5G and industrial integration has been accelerating, and more than 20 common application scenarios have been formed in key industries such as manufacturing, mining, and energy.
Third, the industrial Internet platform ecology continues to grow. Global platforms are evolving rapidly. New subjects continue to pour in, Microsoft, Honeywell and other leading enterprises to accelerate the construction of industrial Internet platform, accelerate the industrial big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain, edge computing, industrial meta-universe and other new generation of information and communication technology applications, promote the industrial Internet platform service capacity innovation. The construction of the new ecology is accelerated, and industrial basic hardware and software enterprises such as Siemens and SAP continue to deepen digital business integration and build a strong and powerful ecological service system. Especially in recent years, the number of mergers and acquisitions of industrial software companies by corporate giants has increased significantly, further promoting the ecological reconstruction of the platform. The construction of China's industrial Internet platform is advancing rapidly. The "comprehensive characteristic professional" platform system is initially constructed. 28 cross-industry cross-domain platform vertical integration of industry resources, horizontal cross-border empowerment, accelerate the construction of industrial ecology. The integration of characteristic platform applications continues to deepen, accelerating the precipitation of knowledge and experience for key industries. Professional platforms continue to deepen in specific areas such as digital twins, industrial intelligence, and industrial big data analysis, and accelerate the improvement of service capabilities. The application of the "six models" continues to deepen, the "platform park", "platform base" and other models accelerate the promotion, and the supply capacity of the industry's digital transformation solutions continues to increase.
Fourth, industrial Internet security protection is deepening. Accelerated evolution of security technologies. The industrial application of general security technologies such as monitoring perception, threat protection, and disposal recovery continues to deepen, and has played an active role in responding to network security, equipment security, control security, and data security, and has continuously improved the network security protection capabilities of industrial enterprises. Emerging technologies such as zero trust, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and edge computing security are gradually expanding the industrial Internet security technology architecture, providing new options and new paths for enhancing the endogenous security protection capabilities of industrial control systems and responding to new attack threats. Key enterprises actively layout. Domestic and foreign network solution providers and network security enterprises actively expand the industrial Internet security business, focus on key infrastructure network security protection, industrial security and other key areas, increase investment in research and development and product service innovation, industrial Internet security technology support capacity to accelerate the improvement.
Fifth, the industrial Internet talent system accelerated construction. The global digital talent is generally lacking, the EU digital skills talent reserve is insufficient, China's industrial Internet talent gap is large, the talent problem has become a key factor restricting the development of industrial Internet innovation and the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry. Global digital talents are gradually gathering, and from a regional perspective, they are further concentrated in major urban agglomerations in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific economically developed regions. From the perspective of industry, the real economy represented by manufacturing industry has become an important employment choice for digital talents. Countries have accelerated the construction of talent systems and actively cultivated compound talents with digital literacy and skills. China has made positive progress in accelerating the training of industrial Internet talents in terms of standard system, evaluation mechanism, discipline setting, and integration of production and education.
Sixth, the industrial Internet industry is booming. The overall momentum of the global industrial Internet industry is good. In 2021, the added value of the global industrial Internet industry will reach $3.73 trillion billion, with an average annual growth rate of nearly 6%. Industrial powers lead the global industrial development. Among the 59 major industrial countries, the added value of the industrial Internet industry in the United States, China, Japan and Germany accounts for more than 50%. Organizations such as the U.S. Industrial Internetworking Alliance (IIC) and the German Industrial 4.0 Platform continue to promote industrial ecology by focusing on the direction of differentiation. China's industrial Internet economic growth is strong. In 2021, the added value of China's industrial Internet industry will exceed 4 trillion yuan, of which the added value of core industries will reach 1.17 trillion yuan, with a nominal growth rate of over 16%. The rapid growth of cooperation carriers such as the Industrial Internet Platform Innovation Cooperation Center and the Industrial Internet Industry Alliance has promoted the in-depth collaborative innovation of industry, university and research.
