We will accelerate the release of new growth drivers and promote industrial innovation through scientific and technological innovation

IC200ALG328 Reporter: In recent years, China’s industrial scientific and technological innovation ability has been significantly enhanced, in what aspects? How will the next step continue to promote industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation?

Jin Zhuanglong:

IC200ALG328 Industry is the main battlefield of technological innovation, and it is the field where innovation activities are the most active, innovation achievements are the most abundant, innovation applications are the most concentrated, and innovation spillovers are the strongest. In recent years, China’s industrial scientific and technological innovation ability has been enhanced significantly. In 2022, China will become the world’s second largest R&D investment country, and more than 570 industrial enterprises will be listed as the top 2,500 global R&D investment, accounting for nearly 1/4. The number of invention patent applications from industrial enterprises in China increased from 176,000 in 2012 to 555,000 in 2022. The country has built 27 national manufacturing innovation centers, two national and local manufacturing innovation centers, and 260 provincial manufacturing innovation centers, and the innovation ecology of networked IC200ALG328 manufacturing has basically taken shape. The 23 national independent innovation demonstration zones and 178 national high-tech industrial development zones have become important forces leading industrial technological innovation and the development of high-tech industries. A number of major landmark achievements have been made in 5G, manned spaceflight, large aircraft, large cruise ships, and high-end medical equipment, and the ability to support key materials has been greatly improved, strongly supporting the implementation of major national strategies and the construction of a strong quality, space, transportation, cyber, and digital China.

IC200ALG328 Industrial technological innovation is the fundamental driving force for new industrialization. We will fully implement the deployment of the Central Economic Work Conference, focus on promoting industrial innovation through scientific and technological innovation, and continue to make efforts in technology, enterprises, platforms, services, and parks. We will accelerate the construction of an industrial scientific and technological innovation system that is demand-oriented, application-driven, enterprise-oriented, and organically integrated with government, industry, universities, research and finance, and vigorously promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation. First, we will fully implement high-quality development actions for key industrial chains in the manufacturing industry, further promote industrial base reconstruction projects and major technology and equipment IC200ALG328 research projects, strengthen quality support and standard guidance, and continue to improve the resilience and safety of industrial chains and supply chains. Second, we will strengthen the dominant position of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation, and further strengthen all kinds of innovation entities, such as leading scientific and technological enterprises, high-tech enterprises, individual champion enterprises in manufacturing, and small and medium-sized enterprises in science and technology and innovation. Third, we will continue to optimize the network of innovation platforms, build another 5-10 national manufacturing innovation centers in key areas, and build a number of test and verification platforms and pilot platforms in key areas such as key materials and major equipment. The fourth is to strengthen the support of scientific and technological innovation services, implement manufacturing quality excellence projects and new industry standardization pilot projects, improve the development policy of science and technology service industry, create an upgraded version of the “Torch” brand, and cultivate professional market-oriented international science and technology intermediary organizations. Fifth, we will give better play to the role of various industrial parks, improve the quality and efficiency of national high-tech development zones, give full play to the role of national innovation demonstration zones, build world-leading science and technology parks and innovation hubs, start the creation of national demonstration zones for new industrialization, and foster world-class advanced manufacturing clusters.
