In the process of the formation of new quality productive forces, four technologies play crucial roles. Information technology is the innovation-leading technology. New industrialization technology is the foundation-building technology.Financial technology is the efficiency-enhancing technology. Green technology is the quality-oriented technology. At present, the information revolution has developed to the stage of qualitative change, where data has become a new factor of production, and the production of knowledge and information has entered the stage of mechanized large-scale industry from manual workshops. The proposal of new quality productive forces is a scientific observation and summary of the progress of the information revolution to the stage of qualitative change. Through the analysis of the key technologies of new quality productive forces, the implication of “new” and “quality” in the phrase of new quality productive forces can be understood more clearly.

Through in-depth analysis of the three dimensions of input, output and development environment, the evaluation index system of integrated development of culture and tourism in the five provinces in northwest China was constructed, and the level of integrated development of culture and tourism in the five provinces from 2011 to 2021 was measured. The weight of each index was used to determine the combination assignment. The results show that the integrated development of the cultural and tourism industry in the five northwestern provinces is less synchronised and mostly dominated by cultural lag. In addition, there is no equivalence between the integrated development of culture and tourism industry and regional economic level and resource abundance, and the overall development level is not high. On the whole, most of the integrated development level of culture and tourism in northwest China is unbalanced, the allocation of factor resources still needs to be adjusted, and the industrial structure needs to be transformed. Therefore, in order to promote the prosperous development of cultural undertakings and tourism in northwest China, it is necessary to taken more effective measures to improve the integrated development level of culture and tourism.

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into daily life, particularly in areas such as urban transportation and environmental impact, the potential for widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles has become a significant topic of inquiry. Online surveys and statistical analysis were conducted to examine the influence of media environments (mass media, social media, and electronic word of mouth) on the purchasing intentions for autonomous vehicles, while also considering the moderating role of gender. The results indicate that social media has a positive effect on purchasing intentions, especially among male users, whereas mass media and electronic word of mouth do not show significant effects. These findings provide insights into how different media environments can affect the market acceptance of autonomous vehicles, offering important references for the development of urban transportation and sustainable social practices.

Taking 75 prefecture-level cities (or districts) across eight provinces in the Yellow River Basin from 2006 to 2022 as the research object, green technological innovation and ecological economy evaluation indicators were constructed. The coupling coordination degree and spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of these two factors were analyzed using the coupling coordination model, kernel density estimation, and Moran’s I index. The results show that the coupling coordination level between green technological innovation and ecological economy has increased, with significant regional differences. The coupling coordination disparity between regions has gradually decreased, indicating a trend toward balanced development within the basin. Positive spatial autocorrelation exists between green technological innovation and ecological economy, but this agglomeration effect has weakened over time. These findings suggest that the Yellow River Basin’s development is becoming more coordinated, although regional disparities remain.

Realizing the coordinated development of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area is one of the important goals of the national “14th Five Year Plan” period. Promoting regional collaborative innovation is an inevitable requirement for the construction of a global scientific and technological innovation center in the Greater Bay Area, which is of great significance for the high-quality development of the scientific and technological industry in the Greater Bay Area.The progress and development status of collaborative innovation in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area was reviewed. In response to issues such as incomplete coordination mechanisms for collaborative innovation, unclear efficiency of collaborative innovation services, and significant differences in industrial development levels, it is recommended to enhance the collaborative innovation effect of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area by improving policy and institutional design, enhancing innovation service efficiency, and strengthening the coordinated development of science and technology industries, Continuously promote the high-quality development of the technology industry in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area.

With the rise of digital economy, the integration of real economy and digital economy has become the key to drive economic growth. Taking Dalian’s retail industry as an example, the current state of development of Dalian’s retail industry under the background of digital economy was discussed. The difficulties encountered in the integration of retail industry and digital economy was analyzed from the perspectives of government and enterprises. Finally specific strategies are put forward to promote the in-depth integration of Dalian’s retail industry and digital economy, in order to promote the transformation and upgrading of Dalian’s retail industry and achieve high-quality economic development.

414 high-quality tourist attractions rated above 3A in Gansu Province were selected as research samples. Utilizing methods such as the nearest neighbor index and geographic concentration index kernel density, the spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors of high-quality tourist sites in Gansu Province were explored. The final results show the overall spatial distribution of high-quality tourist attractions in Gansu Province is relatively concentrated, with high-quality attractions in regions including Hexi, Longzhong, and Longdong showing an aggregated distribution type.The overall distribution of high-quality attractions in Gansu Province presents an uneven state. At the regional level, high-quality attractions are mainly concentrated in the Hexi and southeastern Longdong areas; at the city level, they are primarily concentrated in Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Longnan.There are certain differences in the spatial distribution density of high-quality attractions in Gansu Province. A distribution pattern of “two cores, two belts, and multiple points” has formed across Gansu Province. At the regional level, high-quality attractions in the Hexi area have formed a multi-core spatial structure decreasing outward; high-quality attractions in Longzhong and ethnic regions exhibit a single-core distribution pattern with gradient diffusion outward,the southeastern and eastern Longdong areas do not show a high-density core area, with kernel density values decreasing from Tianshui and Qingyang outward. The spatial distribution pattern of high-quality attractions in Gansu Province has been formed under the combined effect of natural environment and socioeconomic factors.

The formation mechanism of the spatial pattern of tourism complexes in Sanya City was discussed under the dual drive of capital and resources. By in-depth analysis of the roles of various factors such as fixed capital investment, resource endowment, market driving and government promotion, their impacts on the spatial pattern of tourism complexes in Sanya City were discussed. It is found that although fixed capital investment and resource endowment have no significant direct impact on the spatial pattern of tourism complexes, they indirectly exert an impact through their effects on physical space and social and cultural space. Market driving and government promotion have a negative regulatory effect in this process. Market driving may lead to investment biased towards short-term interests, and if government promotion is improperly planned, it will also affect the rational allocation of resources. Further research shows that strengthening market mechanisms and optimizing government functions are crucial for promoting the scientific and reasonable formation of the spatial pattern of tourism complexes in Sanya City.

Focusing on the coordinated development of economic integration and cross-border trade in Guizhou Province, the role of economic integration in promoting cross-border trade was discussed by analyzing key factors such as policy environment and industrial synergy.It is found that Guizhou has achieved remarkable results in regional competitiveness, industrial upgrading and innovation ability, and cross-border trade has gradually become an important engine of economic growth in Guizhou.

The problem of environmental protection and sustainable development is increasingly concerned, and how to promote the green innovation of enterprises has become the focus. Based on the data of China’s A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2023, the mechanism of institutional co-ownership on corporate green innovation behavior was explored. It is found that institutional co-ownership can effectively promote corporate green innovation, and this conclusion remains valid after various robustness tests. Corporate ESG(environmental, social, and governance) shows a partial mediating effect between institutional co-ownership and corporate green innovation, that is, institutional co-ownership can motivate companies to improve their ESG performance to a certain extent, thus promoting the realization of green innovation. The digital transformation of enterprises has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between corporate co-ownership and corporate green innovation.
