Confronted with a complex and challenging international environment alongside domestic reform and development imperatives, new quality productive forces have emerged as a pivotal driver for advancing Chinese modernisation and establishing a new development paradigm. Digital intelligence transformation, integrating digitalisation and intelligentisation, serves as a pivotal driver of technological revolution and industrial transformation. It reshapes corporate growth models and governance structures, acting as a crucial lever for fostering new quality productive forces within enterprises. This study empirically examines the impact and mechanisms of digital intelligence transformation on corporate new quality productive forces using a sample of A-share listed manufacturing companies from 2014 to 2022. Results show that digital intelligence transformation significantly enhances the development of new quality productive forces, a conclusion that holds across multiple robustness tests. This study offers insights for enabling China's manufacturing enterprises to leverage new quality productive forces through digital intelligence transformation, thereby contributing to high-quality economic development.
