Abstract: New industrialization is the core component and driving force for building a modern industrial system and a powerful modern socialist country. Facing the realistic background of profound changes in the major domestic and international situations, the connotation of new industrialization has taken on new characteristics. This paper constructs a new industrialization index system from six dimensions: people orientation, quality priority, independent innovation, green and low-carbon, digital and real integration, and open and circulation, and evaluates the new industrialization development level of each region during the“13th Five-Year Plan”period. The findings show that during the “13th Five-Year Plan”period, China's new industrialization development level has continued to improve as a whole, but the regional differences are obvious and there is a trend of expansion. Among them, the eastern region is the most important source of the promotion of the level of new industrialization. The results of industrial green and low-carbon transformation are obvious, but there is an expanding trend among the regions; the integration of the digital and the real is insufficient to support the new industrialization, and there are also significant regional differences. The results show that the regional differences in the new industrialization index mainly come from inter-regional differences. The overall regional differences in the independent innovation index are relatively the largest, which is an important focus to promote regional new industrialization synergy in the future. The digital development is undergoing regional differentiation, to which attention should be paid. The flow of cross-regional factors is not smooth, and there is still an obvious problem of regional market segmentation. In the process of promoting the new industrialization and the coordinated regional development, it is required to pay attention to the efficient collaboration between the two.

Key words: new industrialization, regional differences, green and low-carbon, digitization, Dagum gini coefficient method
