Eight departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: Promoting IPv6 technology evolution and application innovation development

According to the 21ic industry, eight departments (including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Cyberspace Administration, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Transportation, the People’s Bank of China, the State owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and the National Energy Administration) have jointly released the “Implementation Opinions on Promoting IPv6 Technology Evolution and Application Innovation Development”, which states that they will promote IPv6 technology evolution and application innovation development.

Continuously consolidate the existing advantages of IPv6 scale deployment and application, and accelerate the pace of upgrading network infrastructure and application infrastructure. Seizing the window period of IPv6 evolution and innovation, focusing on important links such as network protocols, system equipment, and basic software, we will strengthen the research and industrialization of key core technologies, and form technological leadership advantages.
Deeply explore the actual demand of Digital transformation for network technology in various industries, promote innovation with demand, and drive the market with application. Fully leverage the leading role of large enterprises and leading enterprises to drive the technological system and business model innovation of IPv6 evolution and development.
Fully leverage the decisive role of the market in resource allocation, strengthen efficient collaboration between industry, academia, research and application, strengthen joint innovation between upstream and downstream industries in the industrial chain, fill industry gaps, and break through industry bottlenecks. Promote the integration and development of innovative technologies such as “IPv6+” with vertical industries, strengthen central local linkage, government enterprise linkage, and industry linkage, and play a good role in “combination boxing”.

Coordinate development and security, strengthen technical security management and construction of protective measures, and achieve synchronous planning, construction, and use of security protection measures and key information infrastructure. Following the laws of industrial development, adhering to a global perspective, openness and mutual benefit, strengthening international cooperation, and promoting the process of international standardization in a coordinated manner.
By the end of 2025, significant progress has been made in the evolution and application innovation of IPv6 technology, with significantly enhanced network technology innovation capabilities. The application scope of innovative technologies such as “IPv6+” has further expanded, and the level of integrated application of “IPv6+” in key industries has significantly improved. The following is the full report.
