The equipment manufacturing industry is the main battlefield to promote high-quality economic development. Promoting the equipment manufacturing industry to the medium and high-end level is an important measure to build an economic growth pole in Central China. The equipment manufacturing industry in the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River is developing rapidly. The competitiveness of the three world-class industrial clusters in Hunan Province，including construction machinery，rail transit，and small and medium-sized aircraft engines，has been continuously enhanced. Jiangxi Province’s “2+6+N” industrial high-quality leap-forward development action plan is accelerated. Hubei Province focuses on key areas such as intelligent manufacturing，aerospace，and rail transit，and its equipment manufacturing industry is moving towards a new stage of high-quality development. In the new stage of development，Urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River should speed up to make up for shortcomings such as insufficient independent innovation capability，low level of industrial support，low level of system integration，and short-term high-end talents，accelerate the establishment of a comprehensive public service platform for high-end equipment industry science and technology services，and build a personalized high-end information exchange platform for the industrial chain，carry out technical competitive intelligence services，etc.，to provide scientific and technological service support for the high-quality development of high-end equipment manufacturing.
