The development and opening up of Pudong New Area will move to a higher level. On July 15, the “Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Supporting the Pudong New Area’s High-Level Reform and Opening up to Build a Leading Area for Socialist Modernization” (hereinafter referred to as the “Opinions”) was officially released to support Pudong in taking the heaviest burden and gnawing the hardest. Bones, strive to become a pioneer in higher-level reform and opening up, a pioneer in building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, and a practical example that demonstrates the “four self-confidence”, so as to better show the world the Chinese philosophy, Chinese spirit, and Chinese road.
The “Opinions” put forward five strategic positioning of Pudong, including “the benchmark of the era of independent innovation and development.” Give full play to the institutional advantages of the new nationwide system and super-large-scale market, identify the focus of the government and the market in promoting technological innovation and improving the level of the industrial chain, build the core area of an international scientific and technological innovation center, enhance independent innovation capabilities, and strengthen high-end industry leadership Function to promote the upgrading of the national industrial chain and enhance global influence.
“This time the “Opinions” clarified the positioning of Pudong Science and Technology Innovation, and clearly stated that the core area of an international science and technology innovation center should be established. This should be the first time that it has been clearly proposed.” Shi Qian, secretary of the Party branch and director of the Shanghai Institute of Science, said in an interview with a reporter from www.thepaper.cn. In fact, the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee has clearly proposed to support Beijing, Shanghai, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to form international scientific and technological innovation centers. “This is for the city of Shanghai as a whole, and this “Opinion” has a specific positioning for Pudong.”
Shi Qian emphasized that Pudong is a leader District, it is necessary to lead the construction of Shanghai’s “five centers”, and at the same time, it should better serve the overall situation of the country and promote the implementation of the integration strategy of the Yangtze River Delta. “From this larger perspective, I think Pudong’s overall science and technology innovation tasks in the future are more important and heavier.”
What burdens to take and which bones to gnaw?
Shi Qian mentioned that whether it is General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech at the 30th Anniversary Celebration of Pudong Development and Opening-up , And the “Opinions” released this time all pointed out that Pudong must be brave enough to take the heaviest burden and gnaw the hardest bones. “From the perspective of science and technology innovation, whether it is from the general trend of technological development, the current global technological competition, or from the overall position of China’s technology, our key technologies are controlled by people, technological research is not original, and achievements are transformed. The efficiency is not high, these problems are still the reasons that restrict the improvement of our overall innovation ability.”
Shi Qian said, “These can be saidThey are all the hardest bones we have to gnaw, and the heaviest burdens we have to pick up. Therefore, the tasks of Pudong in this document, what burdens Pudong has to pick up and which bones should be gnawed, should be very clear. “
The first part after the general requirements of the “Opinions” is to “strengthen the innovation engine and create a new highland of independent innovation.” The “bones” are also embodied in this part, that is, to accelerate the research and development of key technologies, build a world-class innovation industry cluster, and deepen the reform of the scientific and technological innovation system.
accelerate the research and development of key technologies, Shi Qian said that the main purpose is to improve the ability to source scientific and technological innovation. “To create a new highland for independent innovation, how high the highland is depends on how solid our basic research is. “This includes accelerating the construction of the Zhangjiang Comprehensive National Science Center, focusing on the three key areas of integrated circuits, biomedicine, and artificial intelligence. “At the same time, we must also focus on some key links that are stuck and the emerging technologies that lead the future. “
Shi Qian further interpreted, “The specific deployment must include a platform, and a batch of national-level innovation platforms should be deployed on the platform, because Pudong is now The positioning of science and technology innovation requires the construction of a national-level innovation platform. “The “Opinions” pointed out that the layout and construction of a number of national science and technology innovation bases such as the National Engineering Research Center, the National Technology Innovation Center, and the National Clinical Medicine Research Center.
Shi Qian also Mentioned, “I also felt in the “Opinions” this time that in addition to hard-core and technological R&D investment, some institutional environment is needed to ensure breakthroughs in key technology research and development. “Taking the biomedicine field as an example, the “Opinions” clearly stated in light of the characteristics of the industry that the study will exempt the import link tax on drugs used in clinical research; allow qualified medical institutions to carry out pilot projects of self-developed in vitro diagnostic reagents in accordance with relevant requirements; establish Enterprises research and develop a management service platform for imported trace consumables, and research and support them in terms of import licensing, customs clearance convenience, and allowable distribution. “These new institutional arrangements are an important guarantee to support breakthroughs in key technology research and development and enhance the ability to innovate sources. . “
To build a world-class innovation industry cluster, Shi Qian said, “I think it is very important to implement the general secretary’s consistent requirements for our scientific and technological innovation, which is scientific and technological achievements. To transform into actual productivity. “
How to build a world-class innovation industry cluster? Shi Qian believes that the “Opinions” reflect that, on the one hand, it focuses on the key areas of the major tasks to be undertaken by Pudong. , Including the three key areas of integrated circuits, biomedicine, and artificial intelligence, as well as the already deployedBureau for many years, at the same time represents the field of the country’s important breakthroughs in scientific and technological innovation. “For example, for our civil aviation, this will also be a very large industrial scale in the future.”
Shi Qian also pointed out that it is very important to build a world-class industrial cluster. , Is to give full play to the overall advantages of labor division and cooperation in the Yangtze River Delta. “Pudong is to Shanghai and Shanghai is to the Yangtze River Delta. Both have one of the biggest advantages, that is, the advantages of technology, industry, openness, and the concentration of elements in this region. They must be able to develop comprehensively.”
Therefore, it is not enough to rely on Pudong or Shanghai alone. It is necessary to jointly tackle key problems through the overall layout of the industry chain and release the overall capabilities of the Yangtze River Delta. “Therefore, to build a world-class innovative industrial cluster, the cooperation in the Yangtze River Delta is an important path.”
Two-way express lane concept, high-level intellectual property protection
Regarding the deepening of the reform of the scientific and technological innovation system pointed out in the “Opinions”, Shi Qian has relied on his soft power The perspective interprets many of the highlights.
The first highlight is the emphasis on dredging the fast lane of two-way links from basic research, applied research to industrialization. “The two-way fast track is the first concept proposed by the General Secretary at the 30th Anniversary Celebration of Pudong Development and Opening up last year. We used to talk more about the transformation of basic research results to applied research, and from applied research to the process of industrialization. The design of the overall scientific and technological achievements transformation system is designed around this process.” Shi Qian believes that the two-way express lane is proposed, which means that we must Considering how to extract basic research topics from the industrial side and from the requirements of industrial development, the enterprise becomes a subject and the industry becomes the proposer of basic research needs. The basic research of universities, research institutes, and even enterprises must be the respondent.
” This time the “Opinions” also put forward clear requirements in this direction. The city is also making layouts. How can this channel be cleared? I think it is a bright spot.”
The second bright spot is to support the development of new R&D institutions. The “Opinions” clarified that it supports the implementation of a management model based on charter management, comprehensive budget management and performance evaluation by new R&D institutions. Shi Qian said that in addition to building a national platform and introducing some domestic and foreign universities to set up R&D facilities in ShanghaiIn addition to the structure, we must have some new systems and mechanisms to promote an organizational model that conforms to the laws of scientific and technological development and conforms to the current scientific research paradigm. “So in terms of supporting the development of new R&D institutions, this time also put forward clear requirements.”
The third highlight is that the R&D institutions established by the state in Pudong can be Study and apply the relevant regulations of Shanghai science and technology system and mechanism innovation. “In the past few years, the reform of the scientific and technological system in Shanghai has not been broken. There have been periods of large-scale running, and there have also been times when it has been steadily advancing step by step. Generally speaking, Shanghai has many new highlights and breakthroughs in the reform of the scientific and technological system.”
Shi Qian also pointed out, “Before being restricted by some factors, the state’s scientific research institutions and universities in Shanghai, in some cases, could not enjoy the dividends of these system reforms in Shanghai, which affected the system to a certain extent. The enthusiasm, initiative and creativity to serve and support the construction of the Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Center.”
Study and apply the relevant regulations of Shanghai science and technology system and mechanism innovation. “Of course, in the process of promoting which Shanghai science and technology system policies are applicable, further research and further implementation are needed.”
The last bright spot is to establish a high level The system of intellectual property protection. Shi Qian interpreted from two aspects. On the one hand, it is necessary to implement a more powerful punitive compensation system for intellectual property infringement. The standard implements a punitive compensation system for intellectual property infringement.”
He added that intellectual property protection innovation is a basic system that supports and supports innovation. If this system is not sound If it is not perfect, it will greatly affect the enthusiasm of innovators and protect their legitimate rights and interests. “I think this is very important, and it also reflects the value orientation of the entire scientific and technological system reform.”
The second aspect is the high-level intellectual property protection system that highlights Some key innovation subjects have been listed. “This time we also focused on a unique type of subject, that is, the companies that are going to be listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board.” Shi Qian believes that this group has the most growth potential. It is not only the subject of future basic research, but also a team of organizational technology innovation. An important leading force. “So, how to systematically improve the service capabilities of their intellectual property rights? In this document, I think it is a big bright spot, and we need to continue to deepen the implementation later.”
