Promoting the in-depth integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation is an inherent requirement of China's in-depth implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy and an urgent need to accelerate the development of new productive forces and the construction of a modernized industrial system. The Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Deepening Reform in a Comprehensive Way and Promoting Chinese Modernization, adopted by the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, proposes to “strengthen the coordination of innovation resources and organization of forces, and promote the integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation”, which points out the direction of China's scientific and technological and industrial innovation, and is conducive to enhancing the overall effectiveness of the national innovation system, and provides important guidance for promoting high-quality development. It is conducive to enhancing the overall effectiveness of the national innovation system and provides important guidance for promoting high-quality development.
Industry is the foundation of development, and science and technology is the first productive force. Scientific and technological innovation for industrial high-quality development to expand the space, the depth of empowerment, industrial development for scientific and technological innovation to provide the transformation of the carrier and the application of the scene, the two are deeply integrated, promote each other to provide a powerful impetus for the high-quality development of the economy. On the one hand, scientific and technological innovation leads industrial innovation. Science and technology innovation is the key force to promote industrial innovation and the development of new quality productivity. From the perspective of the law of industrial development, major breakthroughs in science and technology can often achieve technological upgrading, which in turn improves the production equipment and facilities, the way of combining factors of production, and the energy structure, leading to greater development of industries with higher scientific and technological content, and promoting the flow of factors of production to the field of higher production efficiency, improving the quality of industry and optimizing the industrial structure. New technologies, especially subversive and original technologies, can give rise to a series of new industries, new modes and new kinetic energy. For example, new technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing and the Internet of Things not only promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, but also give birth to many brand-new forms of industries, such as intelligent manufacturing, green energy, digital economy, etc., which provide an important industrial carrier for the development of new quality productivity. On the other hand, industrial innovation promotes scientific and technological innovation. As an important carrier of innovation, industry can transform scientific and technological innovation into real productivity, enhance industrial “gold content”, strengthen the overall competitiveness of the industrial chain, and create new economic growth points. In the process of industrial innovation, new demands and changes in the market will be constantly generated, creating a favorable environment for the practical application of scientific and technological achievements. Scientific and technological innovation can be tested in the real application scenarios and market environment, discovering and solving problems in time, and realizing rapid adjustment and iteration.
The deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation not only helps to promote the upgrading and optimization of the industrial chain, through the introduction of advanced technology, transforming traditional industries, cultivating emerging industries, and laying out future industries, thus enhancing the core competitiveness of the entire industrial system and injecting new kinetic energy and new advantages for high-quality development, but also helps to accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, through the cooperation between the industry, academia and research institutes, and the transfer of technology. It also helps to speed up the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and through the cooperation between industry, universities and research institutes, technology transfer and other means, the scientific and technological achievements can be better docked to the market demand, and the new technology and new techniques can be rapidly applied to the production practice, so as to improve the quality and efficiency of the production and realize the win-win situation in terms of economic and social benefits.
In practice, the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation still exists a series of blocking points, for example, the status of the main body of innovation of enterprises has not been fully formed, the support system for the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation is not yet perfect, the innovation chain and the industrial chain is not close enough, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements is not timely enough, and so on. To break down the barriers and open the blockage, it is necessary for the government, enterprises, universities, research institutes and other parties to work together and collaborate to strengthen the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, cultivate innovative talents, improve the support system and other aspects of efforts to enhance the overall effectiveness of innovation.
Strengthen the status of enterprise innovation main body. Enterprises are not only the main participants in economic activities, but also the main promoter of technological progress, one end is connected to science and technology, one end is connected to industry, can most directly respond to market demand, sensitive to grasp the social needs of scientific and technological innovation, and effectively promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and the development of industrialization, and is to promote the integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation and the development of the microscopic main body. To strengthen the status of enterprises as the main body of scientific and technological innovation, it is necessary to give full play to the leading and supporting role of backbone enterprises of science and technology, establish a mechanism for fostering and expanding scientific and technological leading enterprises, and strengthen the in-depth integration of enterprise-led industry, academia and research; to encourage small and medium-sized enterprises of science and technology to increase investment in research and development, raise the proportion of R&D expenses plus deductions, and build a mechanism for promoting the development and expansion of specialized, special and new small and medium-sized enterprises; and to support enterprises in taking the initiative to take the lead in, or to participate in, the tasks of national scientific and technological research and Support enterprises to take the initiative to lead or participate in national scientific and technological research tasks, and better promote the integration of science and technology and industry in the process of technological research and project construction.
Improve the whole chain of transformation of scientific and technological achievements. The process of transforming scientific and technological achievements is essentially the process of diffusion and penetration of scientific and technological supply into industrial fields, the process of promoting industrial transformation and upgrading, and the systematic process of promoting the integration and development of the innovation chain and the capital chain and the talent chain. To promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, it is necessary to vigorously develop professional technical services, technology promotion, technology consulting, technology incubation, technology market, science and technology assessment and other scientific and technological services, and actively guide financial support for the real economy and scientific and technological innovation. It is necessary to establish supply chain platforms for science and technology innovation, technology transfer centers, and centers for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, gradually form a network for technology transfer and transformation, increase the open sharing of scientific and technological achievements data, and set up project banks and demand banks for scientific and technological achievements, so as to realize the precise docking of supply and demand of scientific and technological industries. We will break down institutional and institutional barriers to the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, enhance the interaction and integration of scientific research and the market, and promote the formation of an innovation ecology with a virtuous cycle of scientific research and the market.
Deepen the reform of talent development system and mechanism. Talent is the foundation of innovation and the most crucial factor in scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation. Without the advantage of talents, it is impossible to have the advantage of innovation, science and technology, and industrial advantages. Promote the integrated development of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, we must continue to make efforts in the construction of the talent team, the implementation of a more active, more open, more effective talent policy, to open up the docking of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation “gate” to high-quality talent to drive scientific and technological innovation and industrialization of the achievements of the level of enhancement. It is necessary to smooth the virtuous circle of education, science and technology and talents, and establish a perfect working mechanism for the cultivation, introduction, use and reasonable mobility of talents. Guide enterprises to cooperate closely with universities and research institutions, jointly carry out scientific research and collaborate in cultivating scientific and technological talents for the needs of industries, and promote enterprise-led integration of industry, academia and research for innovation. Open up the talent exchange channel between the science and technology system and the industrial system, and promote the free flow of talents between the two systems.
Looking to the future, we should accurately grasp the trends of science and technology frontiers and future industrial development trends, and solidly promote the deep integration of science and technology innovation and industrial innovation, so that the two can form a virtuous cycle of mutual promotion, so as to better grasp the opportunities of the new round of scientific and technological revolutions and industrial changes, cultivate and strengthen the new quality of productive forces, and vigorously promote the development of high-quality development, so as to build a solid material and technological foundation for the modernization of the Chinese style, and to win the initiative, win the advantage, and win the future in the new journey. The initiative, win advantage, win the future. (New Society)
