Overall, the new quality productivity is driven by scientific and technological innovations, with the strategic emerging industries, future industries, and other“new formats”as the main field of productivity, pursuing a qualitative leap in the ability of human and nature to undergo material transformation. The proposal of the new quality productivity is of great significance for building an independent knowledge system, promoting high-quality development, creating new international competitive advantages, and coordinating regional harmonized development. Therefore, we must take technological innovation as the guide, comprehensively deepening reform and opening up as the driving force, establishing a modern industrial system as the carrier, cultivating high-quality talents as the guarantee, so as to ensure the systematic integration of various elements and ultimately achieve a qualitative leap in productivity.
