Research on the Innovation-Driven Mechanism of Emerging Industry Cluster in Mianyang under the Background of Intelligent Manufacturing

In the context of a rapidly advancing global technological revolution and industrial transformation, intelligent manufacturing has become a key driving force for promoting high-quality industrial development. The trend presents both new requirements and significant opportunities for the development of emerging industrial clusters in Mianyang City. Focusing on Mianyang, this study analyzes the current development status of its major emerging industrial clusters, including electronic information and new materials. It explores the roles and impacts of policy initiatives, technological innovation, industrial upgrading, and industrial chain collaboration within the city’s innovation-driven mechanism. The findings indicates that the Mianyang municipal government has made notable progress in facilitating the transformation of local emerging industrial clusters toward greater intelligence, environmental sustainability, and servitization. This progress has been achieved through forward-looking policy formulation, increased investment in technological innovation, optimizing industrial layout, and the promotion of collaborative innovation among enterprises of various sizes. However, the city still faces challenges such as inadequate policy implementation, uneven distribution of innovation resources, and limited synergy across the industrial chain. To address these issues, the study recommends enhancing policy implementation and supervision mechanism, optimize the allocation of innovation resources, and strengthening industrial chain collaboration. These efforts are essential for ensuring the sustainable and healthy development of Mianyang’s emerging industrial clusters and promoting high-quality regional economic growth. This insights and experiences from the research may offer valuable references for other regions pursuing similar development paths.
