Abstract:New quality productive forces is not only a new driving force for China??s economic growth, but also a booster of high-quality development. New quality productive forces was generated by the revolutionary breakthrough of technology. And emerging digital technology has become one of the most important means, which empowers the new quality productive forces through mechanisms such as realizing the digital transformation of the three elements of productivity, promoting the significant improvement of production efficiency, creating new fields and new tracks, cultivating the growth of emerging industries and future industries, leading the optimization and upgrading of traditional industries with digital-real integration, and forming green productivity through low-carbon transformation. From the perspective of specific development paths, the effective implementation of representative emerging digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, industrial robots, metaverse, and digital content, has strengthened the quality of factors of production, spawned new demands, new forms and new modes, and increased the momentum for the development of new quality productivity. In the future, China should firmly grasp the role of emerging digital technologies in promoting new quality productive forces, increase the investment in innovation in the field of emerging digital technologies, actively cultivate innovative talents in the field of emerging digital technologies, and improve the construction of a modernized industrial system to support the development of emerging digital technologies, so as to accelerate the formation and growth of new quality productive forces.
