Abstract

Taking the practice of rural industrial revitalization in Liaoning as the research object, this paper combines the technical characteristics of the digital economy with the endowment features of Liaoning’s rural industries-characterized by a focus on agriculture, strong manufacturing capabilities, and a need for upgrading. By applying the analytical framework of "technology empowerment - factor restructuring - industrial upgrading", it reveals the internal mechanism through which the digital economy empowers rural industrial revitalization via the penetration of data factors, the application of digital technologies, and the construction of a digital ecosystem. The study finds that Liaoning’s rural industries face problems such as weak digital infrastructure, lagging digital transformation of agriculture, a shortage of rural digital talents, and insufficient digital collaboration in industries. Based on this, practical paths for the digital economy to empower rural industrial revitalization in Liaoning are proposed from four dimensions: infrastructure upgrading, in-depth industrial integration, talent system construction, and policy mechanism improvement. This provides a reference for the high-quality development of rural industries in the old industrial base of Northeast China.
