Good morning!

In the best season at the turn of spring and summer, I feel very happy to come to the beautiful Yudu again. Here green water and green mountains, pleasant ecology; Characteristic industry, vigorous. Here, we see a vivid epitome and model of the high-quality development of China's county economy, as well as the strength and embodiment of the spirit of the old revolutionary base areas in contemporary inheritance.

First of all, on behalf of the China Garment Association, I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt respect to Yudu county Party committee, county government and all of you present who are committed to the mission, care for the people's livelihood, dare to open up and continuously promote the innovative development of industrial economy!

This year is the first year of the 14th five year plan, the beginning of a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, and a year of looking back at the original intention and looking forward to the future. The high-end manufacturing and Design Collaborative Innovation Summit of China Fashion Forum was held again in Dudu, with the theme of "high-quality manufacturing, brand starting again", focusing on the high-quality development and dynamic change of the clothing industry in the new era, discussing the improvement of industrial innovation ability, resource allocation ability and sustainable development ability, and exploring the development mode and industrial system of harmonious coexistence of human and nature, It is of great significance to gather the power of manufacturing and brand. Here, on behalf of China Garment Association, I would like to extend a warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all the entrepreneurs, experts and colleagues in the industry!

At present, although the global economy has not come out of the haze of the epidemic, the world is in a turbulent period of change, and the development of the clothing industry is also facing the in-depth adjustment of the international supply chain and many uncertain factors, Relying on the world's largest and most complete industrial system, the brand-new kinetic energy brought by digital technology and the huge market space for consumption upgrading and reform, China's garment industry has built up a global largest and most complete industrial system and a huge market space for consumption upgrading and reform. With strong determination and confidence, the whole industry is based on the new development stage, implementing the new development concept and building a new development pattern, China's clothing industry has not only ushered in another important period of strategic opportunities for new development, but also stood at a new historical starting point of climbing the commanding heights of the global industry.

During the "14th five year plan" period, China's clothing industry will follow the transformation and upgrading logic from extension expansion to connotative development based on the iteration of quality, personalization, diversification and green consumption demand, with creative design as the core, scientific and technological innovation as the support, excellent culture as the guide, brand construction as the driving force and sustainable development as the guidance, In the era of digital economy, we should build an ecological system of integrated innovation and embark on the road of high-quality development of high-density creativity, high integration of resources and high added value of products.

By 2035, China's clothing industry will become the main driver of the world's clothing technology, an important leader of global fashion, and a powerful promoter of sustainable development, and realize the transformation from a manufacturing power to a fashion power.

In this new period of development, high-quality manufacturing has been endowed with a new connotation and value. As the main body and core of industrial basic innovation, high-quality manufacturing is an important node of industrial base upgrading and industrial chain modernization, and an important embodiment of industrial intelligent transformation, network collaboration, digital management and capacity improvement, It is also an important symbol of industrial system reengineering and iterative transition in the era of digital economy. At the same time, with the continuous change of consumption, market connection mode and business logic, high-quality manufacturing has become the energy source of product innovation, flexible supply and supporting the development of terminal brand on the basis of consumption perception.

We can see that in recent years, Yudu has firmly grasped the important link of high-quality manufacturing, cooperated with terminal brands, built a digital and flexible supply chain, built a high-quality industrial supporting system and a brand-new industrial ecology, which not only redefined high-quality manufacturing in the digital economy era, but also promoted the coordinated development of manufacturing brands and regional brands, It also shows more possibilities and space for the industry's channel innovation and business model innovation.

Today is the fifth "Chinese brand day". Brand is the concentrated embodiment of industrial value creation. The transformation of China's clothing industry from a manufacturing power to a fashion power must be based on the emergence of a large number of world-class manufacturing brands, regional brands and terminal brands. In this new journey, we will comprehensively enhance the scientific and technological creativity and cultural creativity of industries and enterprises, as well as the resource integration ability facing the global value chain competition system, so that high-quality manufacturing and brand development can start again together.
