Optimize and adjust industrial layout

The "Opinions" proposed that chemical projects should be guided into the park to promote high-level agglomeration development

By 2025, the relocation and transformation of hazardous chemical production enterprises in densely populated urban areas will be fully completed, forming about 70 chemical parks with competitive advantages, and the output value of chemical parks will account for more than 70% of the industry's total output value

Promote industrial digital transformation

Actively promote demonstration and leadership, and strengthen the empowerment of the industrial Internet

By 2025, my country will further promote digital transformation.
