Applied undergraduate universities are an important component of China’s higher education system, aimed at cultivating applied and versatile talents. Their adherence to the integration of industry and education and the coordinated innovation of ideological and political education is not only a strategic choice to respond to the fundamental task of national moral education, but also a key path to solving the talent paradox of “strong skills, weak literacy.” This article is based on the current situation of the integration of industry and education and the development of ideological and political education in application-oriented undergraduate universities. It deeply analyzes the collaborative mechanism and practical difficulties between the two in terms of goals, processes, and resources. It innovatively proposes a strategy for the coordinated development of ideological and political education in application-oriented undergraduate universities under the background of industry-education integration, which has important practical significance for achieving the organic unity of the education chain, industry chain, and talent chain of application-oriented universities.
