In the face of various pressures such as rising costs, shortage of labor resources, and increasing environmental constraints, my country's textile industry must find new sources of power and realize the transformation of the old and new growth models. In this process, the supporting and leading role of scientific and technological innovation is very important. The textile industry must establish a reliable product quality position in the international and domestic markets through technological progress, design innovation, process improvement, etc., and enhance the reputation of Chinese brands.

A few days ago, the 2015 China Textile Industry Federation Science and Technology Award was announced. This award, established in 2004, is regarded as the "Nobel Prize in the textile industry". The 93 projects awarded this year focus on the preparation of new fibers, the improvement of textile processing technology, product innovation and development, intelligent equipment and energy conservation and emission reduction. It represents the highest level and direction of today's textile technology development.

The textile industry is my country's traditional pillar industry and an important civilian production industry, and it is also an advantageous industry for my country to participate in international competition. In recent years, the recovery of the world economy has been slow, and the domestic economy has slowed down and shifted gears. my country's textile industry has to face dual competition from developed and developing countries, as well as continue to suffer from rising costs, shortage of labor resources, and increasing environmental constraints. kind of pressure. Therefore, the textile industry must find a new power source, realize the transformation of the old and new growth models, and move forward rapidly from labor-intensive and resource-consuming to technology-intensive and resource-saving. In this process, the supporting and leading role of scientific and technological innovation is becoming more and more obvious and important. It is the core of the whole industry to implement the innovation-driven strategy, and the foundation and source of many innovations such as product innovation, management innovation, and brand innovation.

From the outside of the industry, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is emerging around the world, and disruptive innovations continue to emerge. At the national level, the 13th Five-Year Plan proposes to give full play to the leading role of scientific and technological innovation in comprehensive innovation, and the direction of the national strategy is clear. The textile industry must seize the rare historical opportunity, do a good job in the construction of a strong textile technology country, lay out the key directions of future scientific and technological innovation, and strive for the level of technological innovation in the industry at the end of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period from "follow-up and parallel" Parallel and leading” is the main change.

Specifically, the textile industry should focus on the industry's major common key technologies and basic application research, further accelerate the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements, promote the collaborative innovation of scientific and technological systems, strengthen the construction of standard support systems, and promote the level of textile technology and equipment, independent innovation, product development and comprehensive improvement of capabilities.

In terms of intelligent manufacturing, it is necessary to accelerate the integration and development of a new generation of information technology and manufacturing technology, take intelligent manufacturing as the main direction of the deep integration of the two, and accelerate the promotion of intelligent textile manufacturing including intelligent equipment, intelligent operations, and intelligent products. Level, cultivate new production methods based on "Internet +" product innovation, lean manufacturing, flexible production and supply chain integration, and promote the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry.

In the development of new textile materials, it is necessary to vigorously develop various differentiated and functional fibers and their products to meet people's new needs for personalized, fashionable and functional consumption; develop high-performance fibers and composite materials that meet the needs of high-end industrial technology fields materials, break the monopoly of foreign technology; develop new bio-based fiber materials to replace petroleum resources to break through the constraints of raw materials.

At the same time, through scientific and technological progress, design innovation, process improvement, etc., to establish a reliable product quality position in the international and domestic markets, and to enhance the reputation of Chinese brands; to promote the application of low-carbon energy-saving advanced technology, water-free and water-free printing and dyeing technology in the whole industry, Realize green production.
