"Collaborative innovation is an inherent requirement for modern textile industry to build development advantages under scale advantages, an inevitable choice to build innovation advantages under system advantages, an important support for creating high-end, intelligent and green advanced manufacturing capabilities, and a key move to promote industrial quality, efficiency and dynamic change in the new development pattern." The 2023 China Textile Industry Collaborative Innovation Forum was held in Keqiao district, Shaoxing city, East China's Zhejiang province, April 26, 2017. At the meeting, Sun Ruizhe, president of China National Textile Industry Council, pointed out that facing the future, Chinese textile enterprises should not rely on one "finger" alone, but should pool the wisdom and strength of all, shake the finger into a fist and fight accordingly.

Not confined to one corner

Collaborative innovation will build the future

Sun Ruizhe said, around industrial collaborative innovation, the industry first to "excellent skills", strengthen the ability of innovation. We will explore a development path that integrates original innovation, integrated innovation and open innovation. Second, we need to "unite the masses" and improve the innovation platform. Give full play to the role of textile product development base enterprises, technological innovation alliances, innovation consortiums, etc., improve innovation efficiency, and continue to build a scientific, market-oriented and standardized public service system. Third, we need to "gain momentum" and open up the cycle of innovation. We will adhere to a market-oriented approach, better meet the new requirements of combining the strategy of expanding domestic demand with deepening supply-side structural reform, and use market demand to drive and promote industrial upgrading.

"Facing the complex and severe situation at home and abroad and the increasingly fierce market competition, we have more and more deeply realized that the competition of the future industry is the competition of the whole industrial chain, and the practice of Keqiao has proved that innovation is the golden key to industrial development to the future." Yuan Xiaowen, member of the Standing Committee of Keqiao District Committee of Shaoxing City, said that nowadays Keqiao has gathered 1/3 of the printing and dyeing industry in China and has a complete textile industry chain system. The sales network covers more than 190 countries and regions around the world, and more than 1/4 of the world's fabrics are transact here. In 2022, the total transaction volume of online and offline market in China Textile City has exceeded 330 billion yuan. He pointed out that he hopes to take the event as an opportunity to turn the three advantages of market, industry and scientific innovation into three heights. With three "No.1 Project" as the blueprint, we will comprehensively build five major centers in the world textile field, accelerate the promotion of market echelons, make the industry fashionable and expand the city internationally, and mark a strong mark for Keqiao Textile to step forward into advanced manufacturing and high value-added industry.

New drive of data wisdom

Reshape textile fashion new ecology

Under the guidance of the development strategy of "Accelerating digital development and building Digital China", the integrated development of industry digitalization, networking and intelligentization has become the general trend.

Li Binhong, director of the National Textile Product Development Center, elaborated on the industrial transformation driven by digital technology from five dimensions of "new interaction, new supply, new consumption, new platform and new organization".
