From August 25 to 30, the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee held a thematic research press tour titled "Active China 2025" in Hubei Province. A correspondent from China Internet Information Center "Zhongguowang" also participated in the event and conducted a week-long field study, visiting cities such as Wuhan, Ezhou, Qianjiang, Tianmen, Jingzhou and Yichang, focusing on economic development, technological innovation and improvement of people's livelihood, and deciphering the "dynamism code" of high-quality development of a major economic province.
Hubei's industrial economy has consistently held a leading position in the central region of the country. In 2024, the revenue of large-scale industrial enterprises reached 4.7 trillion yuan, and the average annual growth rate of added value in high-tech manufacturing was 19.7%. Traditional industries are being transformed and new industries are developing at the same time, so that the volume of the digital economy has exceeded 3 trillion yuan, accounting for 50% of GDP.
