The accelerated transformation of "golden" scientific and technological achievements by landing students (economic focus). Last year, the total contract amount for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements by universities and institutions exceeded 200 billion yuan. Recently, the Science and Technology Evaluation Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology released the "Annual Report on the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements in China (Higher Education Institutions and Research Institutes)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report"). According to the report, based on statistics from 4028 universities and colleges, the total contract amount for the transfer, licensing, valuation investment, technology development, consulting, and service of scientific and technological achievements in China's universities and colleges reached 205.44 billion yuan in 2023, a year-on-year increase of over 10%; The amount received that year reached 135.27 billion yuan, with a total of 640000 contracts. Accelerating the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into real productive forces is an inevitable requirement for cultivating and developing new quality productive forces. Among them, universities and colleges, as an important component of China's national strategic scientific and technological strength and innovation system, are the main suppliers for the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements. In recent years, a series of policies and measures to promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements have been intensively introduced, and the effectiveness of the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in Chinese universities has been continuously improved, providing strong technological support for high-quality development. The transformation of technological achievements is active, and the total contract amount of more and more universities and institutions has reached new highs. Recently, Zero Magnetic Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. was unveiled in Hangzhou. This enterprise was founded by Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Hangzhou Hi tech Financial Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd. The underlying technology comes from the scientific and technological achievements of the CAS Member and the professor Fang Jiancheng team of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Introduction to the construction of houses: The human heart and other body parts can detect extremely weak magnetic signals. By using the signals emitted by these body parts, disease diagnosis can be carried out, which has the characteristics of no damage, no radiation, and convenient and fast. Based on breakthroughs in zero magnetic space, magnetometer and other technologies, Fang Jiancheng led a team to develop a cardiac magnetic imaging device, which has been put into preclinical research in multiple hospitals in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong, Chongqing and other places, demonstrating good application prospects. At present, a 4000 square meter industrial plant has been transformed into an equipment production workshop. After the production line is completed, the annual production capacity of cardiac magnetic imaging equipment will reach 100 units. Compared to MRI machines that cost tens of millions of yuan, a cardiac magnetic imaging device only costs a few million yuan and has completely independent intellectual property rights. The industrialization of magnetocardiography equipment is a microcosm of the accelerated transformation process of achievements in Chinese universities. In recent years, China has successively revised the Law on Promoting the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements, issued and implemented several provisions of the Law on Promoting the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements, and formulated action plans to promote the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements. The interlocking and step-by-step measures to promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements have effectively solved the problem of scientific and technological achievement transformation. In the view of He Defang, counselor of the State Council and chairman of the China Association for Science and Technology Evaluation and Achievement Management, with the accelerated improvement of the institutional system for the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, China has made positive progress in improving the property rights system for scientific and technological achievements, perfecting the incentive system for income distribution, implementing tax preferential policies, and increasing financial support, promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements to a new level. Overall, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in Chinese universities is active Nie Biao, Director of the Science and Technology Evaluation Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology, introduced that according to the statistics in the report, in recent years, the total contract amount, the amount received in the current year, and the total number of contracts for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in six ways have all increased to varying degrees. More and more universities are reaching new highs in total contract amounts. In 2023, a total of 396 units converted total contract amounts exceeding 100 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.4%. The ability to serve regional economic development has been enhanced, and the integration of industry, academia, and research has been further expanded. At the end of last year, Mingjie'erfa Intelligent Industrial Technology (Dalian) Co., Ltd. discovered that an open license patent from Dalian University met its technical needs and immediately cooperated with the university's research team. This patent has been applied in actual production, greatly improving system performance and creating nearly 10 million yuan in economic value for the enterprise so far. The transformation of scientific and technological achievements in universities is an important way to serve regional economic development. The report shows that about 60% of scientific and technological achievements are transformed locally through transfer, licensing, and investment, playing a positive role in promoting local economic and social development. From a regional perspective, universities in Beijing and Shanghai have exported more scientific and technological achievements to other regions, with strong radiation capabilities; Jiangsu and Guangdong have undertaken a large number of scientific and technological achievements from universities and colleges in other regions. In recent years, China has focused on promoting the construction of a system for the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and expanding the integration of industry, academia, and research. According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2023, the transaction amount of technology contracts in China exceeded 6 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 28.6%, with a total of 950000 technology contracts signed. According to the report, as of the end of 2023, nearly 19600 research and development institutions, transfer institutions, and transformation service platforms jointly established by universities and enterprises in the field of industry university research cooperation. Basic research often has a strong driving force on cutting-edge technologies and industrial transformation, and many basic research results come from universities and institutions Peng Huisheng, an academician of the CAS Member and president of the Institute of Science and Technology of Fudan University, believes that scientific and technological achievements of colleges and universities tend to focus on source innovation, and the chain of transformation to downstream is long. In recent years, Fudan University has established a technology research and development center and opened up relevant databases to facilitate information exchange channels through platform construction, helping the market to explore technology achievements with conversion potential. In Nie Biao's view, actively communicating and cooperating with universities and research institutes, establishing mutual trust and mutual benefit information docking channels, supporting and encouraging universities and institutes to carry out research and development activities based on their own needs, can help achieve a virtuous cycle of industrial chain and innovation chain. At the same time, we should further actively support the first purchase and use of technology transfer products, strengthen the application of scenarios, find scenarios for technology and markets for scenarios, and promote the faster entry of new technologies and products into the market, "said Nie Biao. A large number of technology "matchmakers" and technical managers are accelerating their entry into the market with a high-level and specialized talent team, which is an important guarantee for the smooth transformation of scientific and technological achievements. In recent years, China has strengthened the construction of talent teams in technology transfer institutions, enhanced the training of professional talents in practical training, and focused on assessing their abilities in operational services, actual contributions, and economic and social benefits. A large number of technology "matchmakers" and technology managers are accelerating their entry into the market. They not only need to be familiar with the content, transformation mode, and business process of the technology transfer system documents, but also have comprehensive abilities in policy and regulation application, cutting-edge technology judgment, intellectual property management, technology evaluation, market research and analysis, legal contract negotiation, and other aspects Liu Huanxi, Vice Dean of the Institute of Advanced Industrial Technology at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, introduced. In terms of talent cultivation in the construction of technology transfer institutions, the report shows that by the end of 2023, 1038 universities and colleges have established technology transfer institutions that are suitable for their own characteristics, with nearly 17900 full-time personnel engaged in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in universities and colleges. The construction of technology transfer and transformation institutions and talent teams continues to trend towards specialization. The report also shows that by the end of 2023, only about 1/4 of universities have established technology transfer institutions that are suitable for their own characteristics, about 1/4 of universities have cooperated with market-oriented transfer institutions to carry out the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and about half of universities have established a dedicated talent team for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. Nie Biao believes that technology managers, as a key link between the innovation chain and the industrial chain, play an important role in the process of transforming scientific and technological achievements. However, for a long time, technology managers have faced challenges such as the lack of industry standards, incomplete knowledge systems, and unclear career development paths. Looking towards the future, we need to further cultivate talents in technology transfer and technology-based entrepreneurship, establish corresponding assessment and incentive mechanisms, and help efficiently transform scientific and technological achievements, "said Nie Biao.
