Last month, Dawan District of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao ushered in a high-level global science event: representatives of scientific research institutions, scientific and technological enterprises and industry from all over the world, including 130 Chinese and foreign academicians, gathered in Guangzhou to participate in the first Dawan District Science Forum, and two Nobel laureates made a keynote speech. In Dawan District, "science" and "innovation" have become hot words. "There are Zhongguancun forum in Beijing, Pujiang forum and world top scientists forum in Shanghai. More and more scientists call for holding Dawan District Science Forum." Bai Chunli, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes that the forum is held at the right time and has a far-reaching impact. Behind the forum is the unremitting efforts to write the chapter of self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology in Guangdong, and the steady pace of the construction of the international scientific and technological innovation center in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. Over the past year, the construction of major scientific and technological infrastructure such as Jiangmen neutrino experimental station in Guangdong and Dawan district has accelerated, and the cluster of large scientific devices has taken shape; Guangdong's regional innovation capability has led the country for five consecutive years, and the shortcomings of basic research and original innovation have been continuously supplemented; Outstanding achievements have been made in scientific research on epidemic prevention and control, and science and technology has become the "hard core" backing to deal with the epidemic and ensure health; Guangdong has added seven academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, bringing together talents in Dawan district. The concept of "innovation to the Bay District in the East, West, North and South" has become increasingly popular. Large scientific installations "pile up" in Dawan District On the opening day of the first Dawan District Science Forum, the evaluation report on China's regional innovation capability 2021 was released in Beijing. Guangdong's regional innovation capability continued to maintain a national leading position and ranked first for five consecutive years. Why did Guangdong continuously "dominate the list" and "annual report card" of national scientific and technological innovation? Strengths and weaknesses and making up for weaknesses is an important experience. The lack of basic research and original innovation ability was once the biggest weakness of Guangdong's scientific and technological innovation, and it was also one of the key factors restricting the high-quality development of Guangdong's industry. In particular, facing novel coronavirus pneumonia and complex international situation, "lack of core and less nuclear" has become the "neck" of the industrial chain. Scientific and technological innovation takes a long time. In recent years, Guangdong has continued to support basic research and original innovation, vigorously promoted the construction of strategic scientific and technological forces, and accelerated the building of a "science and technology ace army" reflecting the national mission and Guangdong's strength. The report shows that the ranking of "knowledge creation" indicators representing basic research ability has been continuously improved, which has become a vivid footnote to Guangdong's scientific and technological innovation board. In 2021, Guangdong invested heavily in scientific and technological innovation and made continuous actions: the construction of Jiangmen neutrino experimental station 700 meters underground entered the stage of experimental equipment installation preparation, and China spallation neutron source phase II, southern light source research and test platform and advanced attosecond laser facilities "clung together", The high current heavy ion accelerator and accelerator driven transmutation research device started civil construction... A large number of scientific and technological infrastructure "piled up" in Dawan district to form a cluster. It can be predicted that more major discoveries and original achievements "from 0 to 1" will be born in Dawan District in the future, making it an important source of original innovation. Similarly, facing the urgent need of scientific frontier and basic research, focusing strategy and industrial support, since the first batch of construction was started at the end of 2017, Guangdong laboratory is constantly producing "fruits" of original innovation and industrial transformation. In Shenzhen, the supercomputer "Pengcheng yunnao II" led by Pengcheng laboratory has broken the world record in computing power; In Dongguan, the research results of Songshan Lake materials laboratory were selected into the top ten scientific advances in China in 2019; In Foshan, the "Foshan 1" developed by Jihua laboratory took off on the Long March 6 carrier rocket. From then on, there was another "Foshan star" in space Whether exploring the "no man's land" of science and technology or providing scientific research support for key industries, the provincial laboratory is accelerating to become an important engine for scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading in Guangdong, and promoting the international scientific and technological innovation center in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay District to drive into the "fast lane" of comprehensive construction. Provide "hard core weapon" for epidemic response Recently, Zhong Nanshan, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering and director of Guangzhou laboratory, revealed that Asia's largest chest and lung respiratory center located on Guangzhou's greater thansa island is about to be opened. "This respiratory center is also the clinical base of Guangzhou laboratory. It hopes to unite the domestic and international forces to develop respiratory medicine and jointly fight COVID-19 through the great collaboration of industry, science, research, administration, enterprises and Jin Ge." Zhong Nanshan said. Science and technology is an important weapon for Guangdong to win the war of epidemic prevention and control. Guangdong's scientific and technological achievements also provide experience support for the national and even global anti epidemic. Today, in the "Falcon" gas film laboratories all over the country, we can still see the busy and orderly nucleic acid detection of the staff. The Falcon, developed by Guangzhou laboratory and Guangdong enterprise Jinyu medicine, has become a "sharp weapon" to deal with the epidemic situation all over the country since it was first launched in Guangzhou in June last year, providing scientific and technological support for large-scale nucleic acid detection. "We will organize emergency research in whatever aspect of science and technology is needed to fight the epidemic; we will actively cooperate with what forces are needed to deeply participate in the emergency research." At the beginning of the anti epidemic, Guangdong set up a scientific research team for epidemic prevention and control to set this "gold standard". Over the past year, Guangdong has continued to make efforts in scientific research on epidemic prevention and control. At present, a series of achievements have been made in multi-point layout, research and development of testing products, and vaccine research and development in multiple routes. Nucleic acid detection, as the main detection method of COVID-19 infection, is an important direction of scientific research in Guangdong. Guangdong enterprise Da'an gene developed nucleic acid rapid detection products earlier in the country and was approved for use. It soon carried out rapid nucleic acid screening in fever clinics, emergency departments and other scenes. "After the quick test reagent was put on the market, the nucleic acid detection in our hospital was shortened from 4-6 hours to about 1 hour at the fastest, and the detection efficiency was greatly improved." Hu Bo, director of the laboratory department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat sen University, said. In the field of vaccine research and development, the four technical routes of Shenzhen Kangtai inactivated vaccine, Zhuhai Lizhu genetic engineering recombinant subunit vaccine, Zhuhai rivanda mRNA vaccine and Guangzhou enbao adenovirus vector vaccine have obtained the national clinical trial approval, among which Shenzhen Kangtai inactivated vaccine has been used urgently. In June 2021, Guangdong's first new crown vaccine developed and produced by Kangtai biology gave its first shot in Shenzhen. By the end of November last year, Kangtai biology had supplied more than 27 million doses of new crown vaccine to Jiangsu, Guizhou, Henan and other provinces. "Thousands of troops and thousands of horses" innovation of science and technology enterprises Leading enterprises and unicorn enterprises gather, and R & D institutions and industrial technology research institutes gather - not long ago, Guangdong evaluated the first batch of 19 characteristic industrial parks, which are distributed in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Shantou and other places, covering key fields such as automobile, digital creativity, information technology and so on. Relying on scientific and technological innovation, more emerging industries are surging in Guangdong, providing more momentum for high-quality development. Walking into the dust-free production workshop of Guangzhou Yuexin Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd., the production unmanned vehicle gallops along the air track, and the R & D personnel and production workers in different links of the industrial chain shuttle between them and communicate from time to time, making people feel the innovation vitality of science and technology enterprises. "The chip industry is moving from '1 to n', accelerating the combination with biomedicine, intelligent automobile, traditional manufacturing and other fields." Li Haiming, vice president of Yuexin semiconductor, said. "Semiconductor and integrated circuit industry cluster" is one of the 10 strategic emerging industry clusters in Guangdong. As early as may 2020, Guangdong issued opinions on cultivating and developing strategic pillar industrial clusters and strategic emerging industrial clusters, and then issued 20 strategic industrial cluster action plans respectively. In 2021, Guangdong will continue to make efforts to establish and implement the "chain leader system" in the whole province, with the governor as the "total chain leader", and the provincial leaders are responsible for 20 strategic industrial clusters. In the first half of last year, 20 strategic industrial clusters in Guangdong achieved an added value of 221.8492 billion yuan, accounting for 38.8% of GDP. The operating revenue and total profits of Industrial Enterprises above Designated Size ranked first in China. Today, more and more national industrial innovation platforms are landing in Guangdong. Last November, the Ministry of industry and information technology approved the construction of four national manufacturing innovation centers, of which 5g medium and high frequency device innovation center was located in Shenzhen. So far, among the 21 national innovation centers approved by the Ministry of industry and information technology, Guangdong has 3, ranking first with Beijing, highlighting its strategic industrial advantages. With policy advantages and fertile soil for innovation, Guangdong continues to promote industrial upgrading and is forming an ecology of "thousands of troops and thousands of horses for innovation" of large and small science and technology enterprises. 7 academic "Daniel" new academicians of the two academies In November last year, Guangdong's scientific and technological innovation talent team added another important force: in the co selection of academicians of the two academies in 2021, seven new academicians of Guangdong academic "Daniel" came from the fields of mathematics, medicine, fluid mechanics and so on. Building an innovative country is inseparable from a high-level team of innovative talents. Over the past year, Guangdong has continued to vigorously introduce and educate talents and continuously consolidate the foundation of innovation. Luo Zhiquan, the newly elected foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering and vice president of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen), is one of the high-level talents introduced by Guangdong. "In Guangdong, I felt an inclusive atmosphere, found colleagues with similar aspirations, and carried out extensive and in-depth cooperation with enterprises, universities and research institutes." Luo Zhiquan said. In addition to leading scientific and technological talents, young scientific and technological talents have also brought creativity and vitality to scientific and technological innovation in Guangdong and Dawan district. Walking into the "returnee island" adjacent to Shenzhen airport, incubators and start-ups make people feel a strong innovation atmosphere. The local government provides policy support such as rent-free entrepreneurial venues for returnees for 6-12 months, and the island has attracted 149 returnees' entrepreneurial teams in one and a half years. In Hengqin Guangdong Macao deep cooperation zone, the National Offshore innovation and entrepreneurship base for overseas talents has been established, and more overseas scientific and technological personnel will come to Hengqin to carry out scientific and technological project cooperation in the future. "Come near and stay far", which is often heard by talent teams in Guangdong on different occasions. This is the talent environment that Guangdong is trying to create. Gao Wen, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering and director of Pengcheng laboratory, who won the "outstanding contribution award of south Guangdong" last year, was deeply impressed. "Pengcheng laboratory shoulders the responsibility of solving major frontier problems of artificial intelligence and exploring a new national system. I firmly believe that this can be done." Gao Wen said that one of his greatest strengths is the large number of outstanding young scientific and technological talents gathered in Shenzhen. Gather talents from all over the world and use them. Today, Guangdong has a surge of talents, bringing together a large army of high-level scientific and technological talents. Guangdong enters the "14th five year plan" Adhere to the core position of innovation in the overall situation of modernization, take the construction of the international scientific and technological innovation center in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao as the guide, adhere to the two wheel drive of scientific and technological innovation and institutional innovation, and go hand in hand with forging long board and short board, promote the organic integration and comprehensive connection of innovation chain, enhance the overall efficiency of innovation system, and build a scientific and technological and industrial innovation highland with global influence. —— The 14th five year plan for national economic and social development of Guangdong Province and the outline of long-term objectives for 2035 We should strive to promote the construction of strategic scientific and technological forces, strengthen the shaping of spatial pattern, the construction of innovation platform and infrastructure support, and accelerate the building of a "science and technology ace army" that reflects the national mission and has the strength of Guangdong. We should focus on exploring the "Guangdong path" of the new national system and resolutely win the attack of key core technologies
