Xiaoma Zhixing is a microcosm of the continuous improvement of technological innovation capabilities in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area in recent years. The 2023 Global Innovation Index (GII) "Technology Cluster" ranking released by the World Intellectual Property Organization recently shows that the Shenzhen Hong Kong Guangzhou cluster ranks second, which is also the fourth consecutive year that the technology cluster has ranked second globally. Technology clusters are one of the most critical elements of innovation performance in any economy. By bringing science, enterprises, and entrepreneurs together, these cities or regions can establish an ecosystem that transforms scientific creativity into tangible impact, "said Deng Hongsen, Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization. Behind the emergence of Shenzhen Hong Kong Guangzhou as one of the world's top technology clusters is the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area's efforts to promote the construction of an international technology innovation center, continuously improve the entire innovation ecosystem of "basic research+technological breakthroughs+achievement transformation+technology finance+talent support", and continuously optimize the regional innovation system. In Guangzhou, the local government is focusing on the strategy of "industry first, manufacturing based city", accelerating the construction of a strong city for scientific and technological innovation, promoting the transformation of the "variable" of scientific and technological innovation into a "increment" of high-quality development, and jumping to 10th place in the global ranking of "natural index scientific research city". The relevant person in charge of the Guangzhou Science and Technology Bureau stated that Guangzhou is fully opening up a "new track", and the role of strategic scientific and technological forces in supporting high-quality development continues to strengthen; Generate "new driving forces" and drive innovation to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of industries; Build a "new engine" and continuously strengthen and expand the technology enterprise matrix; Shaping "new advantages" and taking solid steps in the construction of high-level talent highlands; Stimulate "new vitality" and continuously optimize the ecological environment for technological innovation. Enterprises are the main driving force for innovation and technology activities within technology clusters, especially in the field of digital technology Liu Hua, Director of the China Office of the World Intellectual Property Organization, said that this year, digital technology has become the main technology field for many cluster patent applications, and its industry leaders such as Huawei, OPPO, ZTE, are leading the technological innovation of these clusters. In Shenzhen, focusing on who innovates, who innovates, and what innovates, the local government is accelerating the construction of a technology innovation system with enterprises as the main body, market orientation, and deep integration of industry, academia, and research. This fully stimulates the enthusiasm and creativity of enterprises, allowing large and small enterprises to continuously develop and grow in innovation. 94% of the R&D investment in Shenzhen's entire society comes from enterprises, ranking first in the country. Shenzhen's basic investment in enterprises accounts for 47.9% of the country's basic research investment, accounting for almost half of the country's total, "said the relevant person in charge of the Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Committee.
