PXIE-4082 Recently, the “Outlook” news weekly reporter’s survey found that China’s high-end manufacturing industry relies heavily on European and American industrial software, and domestic industrial software lags behind the highest international level for 30 years. A number of industry experts called on China’s industrial software is obviously backward, becoming a short board that is easy to be “stuck”, and suggested increasing policy support to cultivate the healthy development of domestic industrial software.

Establish an industry support fund

PXIE-4082 Industry insiders suggest that from the national strategic height to attach importance to domestic independent industrial software, improve its priority in the strategic emerging industry policy support. “Clarify the leading authorities in charge of the industrial software industry, accelerate the formulation of relevant support policies, and establish a core technology development guarantee system, of which special state funds are essential.”

Xu Xiaolan, president of the China Industrial Internet Research Institute and vice chairman and Secretary-General of the Chinese Institute of Electronics, said that policy support should focus on software core technology research, create a number of open source communities and platforms that bring together active innovation entities and developers, promote long-term “jam neck” industrial software research and development, and break the high dependence of high-end industrial software on foreign countries.

PXIE-4082 In order to prevent “money from running away”, part of the special funds can adopt the market-oriented operation of the industry guidance fund model to fully support mature and commercial software products and enterprises. Chen Fang, vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, believes that the establishment of a subsidy mechanism other than special funds, encourage the establishment of market-oriented industry guidance funds, further optimize the allocation of scientific and technological resources, strengthen the dominant position of software enterprises in technological innovation, provide high-quality financial services for the development of core key technologies, and create a good situation of special projects and market investment.

PXIE-4082 In terms of fiscal and tax policies, industrial software companies hope that preferential policies can be implemented more effectively. Experts suggest that you can consider changing the VAT “first pay back” policy, and directly reduce the VAT of industrial software development enterprises to 3%; Allow the branches of industrial software companies to enjoy the same preferential policies as the headquarters, and also provide tax relief; Abolish the policy that individuals should pay individual income tax on investment in non-monetary assets; We will strictly monitor local governments’ arbitrary increases in fees imposed on enterprises.

We will promote the application of scientific and technological achievements

The transformation of scientific and technological achievements is a “perennial difficulty” problem, as a combination of industry and technology, the lack of commercialization of industrial software is not a general “short board”, but a fatal “broken board”.

PXIE-4082 In the past 30 years, the core industrial software technologies such as CAD and CAE accumulated in China have been concentrated in several university research institutes. Industry experts suggest that backbone enterprises and scientific research institutes should be encouraged to work together to tackle key basic issues and major common technologies, make solid use of the original technical foundation in the short term, promote the industrialization of technological achievements, and then gradually make up for weaknesses and keep pace with international software giants.

In the interview, the reporter learned that many foreign industrial software companies are also born in scientific research institutions. For example, MSC, the originator of simulation software in the United States, started from a digital simulation structural analysis software in the 1960s, and has now become the leader of the global simulation software industry. Some industrial software giants were originally manufacturing companies, such as France’s Dassault Systemes was born out of Dassault Aircraft, the United States UG was born out of McDonnell Douglas (now acquired by Siemens as a PLM division), and the United States PTC is closely related to the United States defense industry contractor Lockheed Martin.

Whether they come from research institutions or manufacturing companies, the common feature of industrial software giants in Europe and the United States is that they always have the shadow of government support. For example, the early undertaking of national Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy and other national funding projects has played a huge role in the development and growth of industrial software companies in the United States. Shortly after its founding, MSC was awarded a NASA contract in 1965 to improve NASA structural analysis software and obtain a NASA license for commercial development.
