At the critical juncture of sprinting through the third quarter and striving to win the second half of the year, Shandong held the 2023 Autumn Provincial On-Site Promotion Meeting for Major High-Quality Development Projects. The meeting was anchored in the goals of "taking the lead and opening new prospects," focused on building the pioneering zone for green, low-carbon, and high-quality development, seized the golden period and window of opportunity for project construction, and promoted the concentrated commencement and accelerated implementation of a batch of high-quality major engineering projects. This is of great significance for strengthening confidence, stabilizing expectations, boosting private investment, expanding effective investment, and ensuring the completion of the year's targets and tasks.

Project construction is a powerful engine driving economic growth. Whether stabilizing economic operations or attracting investment, ultimately everything must be translated into specific projects. Since the beginning of this year, departments at all levels across the province have taken project construction as an important lever for expanding effective investment, planned and advanced the implementation of a large number of key projects, supervised and serviced project construction across the entire chain, process, and scope, and promoted the accelerated implementation and effectiveness of key projects, forming strong support for economic and social development. The major projects launched in this concentrated commencement cover fields such as industrial upgrading and development, "Seven Networks" infrastructure, social livelihood security, and platform integration construction. They are large in scale, have good development prospects, and exert strong driving effects. Taking this opportunity to muster energy and strive to be first, following the approach of "signing a batch, starting a batch, and putting a batch into production," improving the full-process closed-loop promotion system, and pushing project construction to be further intensified and more effective will surely further help the economy continue to recover and improve and stimulate surging momentum for green, low-carbon, and high-quality development.

To promote project construction with greater intensity and effectiveness, planning must be solid and action must be swift. Major project construction is both the driving force for current growth and the potential for long-term development. Any shrinkage of a project or delay in any investment will affect the process of economic recovery. At present, more than half of the third quarter has passed. Shandong's overall project progress is generally in line with expectations, but progress across regions is uneven, some projects are advancing slowly, and problems such as few reserve projects and unclear chains still exist. It is necessary to establish a normalized project reserve mechanism, focus on key areas such as industrial development, scientific and technological innovation, infrastructure construction, and urban renewal, scientifically and precisely plan projects that meet the requirements of high-quality development, update them dynamically in a timely manner, continuously improve the quality of project reserves, and form a virtuous cycle in which key projects are continuously and systematically advanced. With the striving attitude that commencement is the final battle, it is necessary to strengthen departmental coordination and work integration, intervene early, connect early, and guide early, seize schedules, grasp progress, and take the initiative, streamline approval processes, refine implementation plans, and strive to accelerate project construction.

To promote project construction with greater intensity and effectiveness, responsibility must be strong and work style must be solid. The project frontline is the best "training ground" and "arena," testing Party members and cadres' execution ability in advancing project construction, their ability to tackle resource and factor constraints, and their service ability to ensure projects are put into production and achieve results. Departments at all levels must firmly establish a sense of responsibility, ensure progress and quality through responsibility, take the initiative to step forward, improve work efficiency, comprehensively assess the progress of project construction, and make every effort to build high-quality and reliable projects, promoting high-level production and effectiveness. It is necessary to consolidate the foundation of work style, persist in revolving everything around projects and focusing everything on projects, help projects get started and see them through, provide all-weather, full-cycle, and full-chain services for project advancement, and effectively clear the blockages, difficulties, and pain points in the project support chain. Turn the enthusiasm and drive inspired by thematic education into practical action to do work well, apply extraordinary effort and enduring effort, and demonstrate capability and produce real results in every link of the main battlefield of project construction. We will surely be able to gather a strong synergy for grasping projects, expanding investment, and stabilizing growth, and accumulate momentum and energy for Shandong's green, low-carbon, and high-quality development.
