Geographically，the central region as an important hub for domestic circulation，as well as a key advanced manufacturing center in China. Since the release of the Special Action Guidelines for the Development of Service-oriented Manufacturing，the central region has actively launched a series of important initiatives in line with the characteristics of local industries. The overall speed of regional industrial development in the central region has exceeded the rest of China and remarkable results in the transformation of service-oriented manufacturing have been created. However，the resource-based provinces in the central region have a relatively weak industrial base and are facing problems such as high pressure for transformation and the lack of obvious reform results. These problems have led to huge gap of development among provinces of the central region. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period，the central region should keep working on developing innovative tools to better guide the enterprises，while further promoting digital transformation and the integration of the two industries in multiple ways. In addition，it is important to continue to optimize the business environment for enterprises，attract high-quality scientific and technological talents，and promote enhanced cooperation among enterprises. By continuously integrating into regional，domestic and global value chains，the central region will gradually transform their location advantages into economic development advantages.
