The new blueprint for national innovation-driven development in the next five years is accelerating. The outline of the "14th Five-Year Plan" puts forward that innovation must be maintained at the core of my country’s modernization drive, technological self-reliance and self-reliance as a strategic support for national development, facing the forefront of world science and technology, facing the main economic battlefield, facing the country’s major needs, and facing the people Life and health, in-depth implementation of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the country with talents, and the strategy of innovation-driven development, perfecting the national innovation system, and accelerating the building of a science and technology power.
"Economic Information Daily" reporters learned from the industry that a number of major national science and technology projects will gradually land in frontier fields such as artificial intelligence, integrated circuits, and life and health. In the future, a series of measures will be introduced to enhance the technological innovation capabilities of enterprises and strengthen their dominant positions. Experts in the industry said that in the next five years, my country’s new development advantages should be shaped by the “two-wheel drive” of technological innovation and institutional innovation.
A batch of major science and technology projects will be implemented
In the opinion of experts, my country is bound to strengthen original and leading scientific and technological research in the next five years. The outline of the "14th Five-Year Plan" states that strategic scientific plans and scientific projects should be formulated and implemented in basic core areas related to national security and the overall development of the country. Aiming at cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum information, integrated circuits, life and health, brain science, biological breeding, aerospace technology, and deep seas, we will implement a number of forward-looking and strategic national major scientific and technological projects.
Industry insiders said that the "14th Five-Year Plan" outline attaches great importance to the realization of independent technological innovation in core industries, emphasizing the layout of some strategic emerging industries, especially seeking independent research and development breakthroughs in the "stuck neck" technology field, which will lay the foundation for long-term development. Good foundation.
Dr. Hongjun Li of China Agricultural University said bluntly that, in line with the principle of mature batches and start batches, during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, my country has successively launched aero engines and gas turbines, a new generation of artificial intelligence, deep sea space stations, brain science and brain-like research, Major projects such as the integrated information network of the world and the earth. In the future, there will be more major projects with a high strategic position that are related to national security and social stability.
A number of major projects will gradually land in the future. Take the field of artificial intelligence as an example. Since the beginning of this year, many places have established national artificial intelligence innovation application pilot areas. On February 19, relevant departments issued a document to support the creation of national AI innovation application pilot areas in Beijing, Tianjin (Binhai New Area), Hangzhou, Guangzhou, and Chengdu. This is the second batch of national pilot zones after Shanghai (Pudong New Area), Shenzhen, and Jinan-Qingdao. "Five new pilot zones have been added, which shows that the layout of the artificial intelligence industry at the national level has gradually shifted from a single point of application demonstration to a broader multi-regional landing. The artificial intelligence industry is expected to usher in leapfrog development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. "The Huaan Securities report pointed out.
Pan Helin, Executive Dean of the Digital Economy Research Institute of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, said, “In the medium and long term, the layout of scientific and technological innovation projects will focus on two aspects. One is scientific research in basic disciplines, and a series of subsequent technological research and development needs to be strong. The support of basic disciplines is also related to people's livelihood projects, such as health protection, public safety, and aging technology mentioned in the previous 2030 major projects. These also reflect the purpose of scientific and technological development to benefit people's livelihood." Pan Helin said.
Strengthen the position of the main body of enterprise innovation
The outline of the "14th Five-Year Plan" points out to enhance the technological innovation capabilities of enterprises. Improve the market-oriented mechanism of technological innovation, strengthen the position of enterprises as the mainstay of innovation, promote the concentration of various innovative elements in enterprises, and form a technological innovation system with enterprises as the main body, market-oriented, and in-depth integration of production, education, research and application.
"Enterprises are the main body of the market and the main body of scientific and technological innovation. Because enterprises need innovation in order to develop, enterprise innovation plays a very important role in industrial development and social development. Therefore, in this regard, give full play to the technological innovation of enterprises. The main role is very necessary and an important part of scientific and technological innovation." Science and Technology Minister Wang Zhigang said at a press conference of the State Council Information Office before this. He revealed that in the next step, the Ministry of Science and Technology will initiate the implementation of corporate technological innovation capabilities to promote the establishment of corporate-centric technological innovation activities jointly carried out by universities, scientific research institutes and enterprises.
The "14th Five-Year Plan" outline mentioned a number of specific measures to "enhance the technological innovation capabilities of enterprises", including "implementing greater deductions for R&D expenses, tax incentives for high-tech enterprises and other inclusive policies" and "encouraging Qualified scientific and technological achievements supported by financial funds are permitted to be used by small and medium-sized enterprises."
KPMG China Chairman Tao Kuangchun said that in the future, large enterprises should play a leading and supporting role, support innovative small, medium and micro enterprises to become an important birthplace of innovation, strengthen the construction of common technology platforms, and promote the integration and innovation of the upper, middle and lower reaches of the industrial chain, as well as large and small enterprises.
Some innovative companies have already taken action. Zheng Yueming, chairman of Levima Group, Levima Technologies, and chairman of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Chemical New Materials Innovation Alliance, said that innovation driving is not only a national strategy, but also the core competitiveness of the company's sustainable development. It must be placed in a prominent and important position. "During the '14th Five-Year Plan' period, we will continue to adhere to an innovation-driven development strategy. Our goal is to build a leading industrial cluster in several subdivisions of new materials. The first is to continuously increase R&D investment and enhance independent innovation capabilities; The second is to make use of the advantages of a new material platform-based enterprise, carry out collaborative innovation, and cultivate new growth points; the third is to integrate resources, focusing on investment and layout in the field of new materials "stuck neck"." Zheng Yueming said.
Break through the obstacles of technological innovation system and mechanism
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, substantial breakthroughs have been made in the reform of my country's science and technology system, and the "four beams and eight pillars" of the new system and mechanism have basically been established. Industry insiders said that my country's current science and technology management system cannot yet fully meet the needs of building a world's science and technology power. Adhering to the "two-wheel drive" of scientific and technological innovation and institutional innovation is to remove the system and mechanism barriers that restrict scientific and technological innovation and start the new engine driven by innovation at full speed. To this end, the "14th Five-Year Plan" outlines the need to further advance the reform of the science and technology system, improve the national science and technology governance system, optimize the national science and technology planning system and operating mechanism, and promote the integrated allocation of projects, talents, and funds in key areas.
The core of scientific and technological innovation is "people", which is also an important focus for the improvement of scientific and technological systems and mechanisms. "In the next step, we will continue to deepen reforms, insist on reforms for the sake of scientific researchers, and insist on reforms relying on scientific researchers. The Ministry of Science and Technology regularly and irregularly listens to some opinions, suggestions, and demands of scientific researchers, and through seminars and our active research and other methods, Communicate with them in time and take corresponding measures to maximize their sense of gain." Wang Zhigang said that it is necessary to further stimulate the innovative vitality of talents and accelerate the construction of scientific and technological talents that conform to the laws of scientific research and the growth of talents on the basis of "breaking." Evaluation system to strengthen the work style and study style of the scientific and technological circles.
Zhu Yan, Dean of the Internet Industry Research Institute of Tsinghua University, also stated that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, my country should accelerate the reform of the organization and operation of scientific research teams in universities and research institutes. Scientific research management must completely abandon the idea of focusing on management, do not set unnecessary rules and regulations for scientific research personnel, and implement management methods of budget assessment and target assessment. "For basic research, while increasing capital investment, the state must establish an open innovation environment, so that the environment has a strong fault-tolerant mechanism, so as to ensure that all geniuses can be discovered and played; for applied research, the market must be brought into full play. The role of the main body encourages the integration of new production, education and research, and establishes systematic application research and development capabilities." Zhu Yan said.
