With the rapid development of new-generation information technologies, intelligent manufacturing has become a key direction for the transformation and upgrading of China’s manufacturing sector. As a major industrial city in Jiangxi Province, Jiujiang’s traditional enterprises face both policy opportunities and multifaceted challenges in terms of technology, talent, and management during their transformation. Against the backdrop of intelligent manufacturing, this paper reviews relevant theoretical foundations and existing research, analyzes the practical difficulties and developmental characteristics of traditional enterprises in Jiujiang, and constructs three typical transformation path models: “technology-driven,” “management-optimization,” and “collaborative-integration.” On this basis, the study proposes promoting high-quality intelligent transformation of regional enterprises through three approaches: government policy guidance, internal capability enhancement, and industry-university-research collaboration. The research findings offer both theoretical insight and practical guidance for local government policymaking and enterprise decision-making regarding transformation paths.
