ABSTRACT

In contrast to conventional industries, new industries refer to new industrial departments emerging from the application of new technologies. The new industries encompass industries that are formed with the industrialisation of new technologies and conventional ones upgraded by new technologies. The development of new industries depends on the drive for scientific innovation. New industrial innovation refers to pushing forward innovation through a series of activities such as technology development, introduction, localisation, production and industrialisation, and ultimately achieves the goal of improving industrial competitiveness, economic growth and green development. Disruptive innovations and industrial restructuring are emerging, and business models and industrial organisation modes have undergone thorough changes. New industrial innovation requires the cooperation of innovation participants. In the embryo stage of the new industrial revolution, emerging countries and their developed counterparts are at the adjacent starting lines, at which emerging countries share same industrial innovation status and cooperation opportunities with the developed ones.
