Open the ＂Last Mile＂ and Promote the Integration and Innovation of Science and Technology and Industry
In 2024, a new round of scientific and technological revolution accelerated its evolution; In 2025, a new round of industrial transformation will be ready. How to promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, accelerate the shaping of new kinetic energy and new advantages of high-quality development, open up the "last mile" from innovation chain to the industrial chain, and truly transform scientific and technological innovation achievements into new quality productivity has become a proposition of the times.
At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the heads of enterprises, experts and scholars interviewed by china securities journal said that in the future, we should further improve the system and mechanism of scientific and technological innovation and unblock the blocking points; Accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and connect breakpoints with industrialization; Give full play to the function of capital market to optimize resource allocation, solve difficulties and realize the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation.
Strengthen the integration of innovation chain’s industrial chain
"To be honest, we have some confusion and some confusion now." Song Xiquan, chairman of Taihe New Materials, told the reporter, "To take the lead in developing a technology in the world, besides the research and development of the technology itself, we should also consider the downstream application issues. How to truly transform technological advantages into industrial advantages? This has created new challenges for the company. "
Song Xiquan’s confusion and perplexity is a common problem faced by many companies at present: how to promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, so that scientific and technological innovation can truly be transformed into new quality productivity?
Xu Kangning, deputy dean of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Development Research Institute of Southeast University, told reporters: "Scientific and technological innovation can give birth to new industries, new models and new kinetic energy, and promote the integrated development of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, which is an inherent requirement for China to implement the innovation-driven development strategy in depth and an urgent need to accelerate the development of new quality productivity and build a modern industrial system."
Under the background of the new round of scientific and technological revolution accelerating industrial transformation, it is even more urgent to promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation. In 2024, the deep integration of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and the real economy accelerated its evolution. In 2025, this process will be further accelerated. Empowering industrial transformation with technological innovation has become a "just need" for listed companies.
"Two classic cases of artificial intelligence have made us taste the sweetness." Liao Zengtai, chairman of Wanhua Chemical, told the reporter, "The first is the screening of chemical reaction schemes, and artificial intelligence has helped us greatly shorten the experimental time. The second is catalytic experiment. Through artificial intelligence, we screened 156 kinds from more than 14,000 schemes, and then screened 4 kinds through iterative optimization, and the recommended molecules were synthesized, and the effect was very good. "
In 2024, future industries such as low-altitude economy and humanoid robots will rise rapidly. These areas also have an urgent need for the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation.
"Only by transforming scientific and technological innovations into new quality productivity in time can we be in an invincible position in the future global industrial competition. On the one hand, we should give full play to the leading role of scientific and technological innovation in industrial innovation and drive industrial change with scientific and technological innovation; On the other hand, we must accelerate industrial transformation and upgrading, and promote the input of scientific and technological innovation elements with industrial innovation to achieve integrated development. " Ning Min, chairman of Legend Holdings, told reporters.
In the critical period of the transformation of old and new kinetic energy, it is particularly important to promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation. "In the past, many companies relied on accumulated production capacity to seize the market. This model is relatively easy, but it is not sustainable. If you keep following, it is difficult to take the initiative in your own hands. " Song Xiquan said that Taihe New Materials adheres to the drive of innovation, with five technologies ranking first in the world and 10 technologies ranking first in China, and has entered the "no man’s land" in many fields. "In the future, we should pay more attention to the application of technology, forge new quality productivity through the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, and truly transform technological advantages into industrial advantages."
Promote scientific and technological achievements and accelerate transformation.
Xu Kangning said that at present, there are still some obstacles in the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation. It is necessary to enhance the original innovation ability and closely link innovation chain with the industrial chain.
"Institutional innovation is the key." Zhang Yansheng, a researcher at China Macroeconomic Research Institute, told the reporter, "In 2024, China ranked 11th in the global innovation index, but ranked 40th in the index of institutional innovation. The core issue of institutional innovation is how to make the Law on Scientific and Technological Progress and the Law on Promoting the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements more effective, and make innovation professional, professional, legal, market-oriented and international. "
In recent years, the exploration of establishing an institutional mechanism to promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and closely link innovation chain with the industrial chain has been going on. In 2019, Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Fuyang District of Hangzhou jointly established Hangzhou Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, attracting angel capital investment with technical professionalism, helping scientists to start businesses with personalized post-investment management, opening up the channel from scientific research and development to industrialization, and building a professional incubator for hard technology in the photoelectric field.
"Scientific and technological innovation is from 0 to 1, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements is from 1 to 10, and industrialization is from 10 to 100, 1000 … When we screen projects, the level of scientific and technological achievements is only one of the criteria. At the same time, we must consider whether its application scenario is large enough, whether the pain points to be solved in the application field are urgent, and whether the team can devote itself to the transformation and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements." Qi Hongji, director of Hangzhou Institute of Optics and Mechanics, told reporters.
It is worth mentioning that Qi Hongji is from Shanghai Institute of Optics and Mechanics. In 2019, he established Hangzhou Fujia Gallium Industry on the platform of Hangzhou Institute of Optics and Mechanics and served as the chairman, focusing on the industrialization of the fourth generation semiconductor gallium oxide materials. Qi Hongji has a deep understanding of the huge gap between scientific and technological achievements and industrialization. "To do scientific research in the laboratory, we are pursuing material properties, while industrialization should consider its market prospects and batch preparation costs, which requires a huge change in concept."
Enterprise is the main body of innovation. To promote the integrated development of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, the key is to strengthen the main position of scientific and technological innovation of enterprises. According to the data of China National Intellectual Property Administration, by the end of 2023, the effective number of invention patents in China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) was 4.015 million. Among them, domestic enterprises have 2.909 million effective invention patents, accounting for more than 70%, and the status of innovation subject is further highlighted.
"To strengthen the dominant position of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation, we should support enterprises to become’ questioners’,’ respondents’ and’ reviewers’, guide enterprises to cooperate closely with universities and scientific research institutions, and jointly concise scientific and technological problems, jointly carry out scientific research and tackle key problems, and jointly train scientific and technological talents to promote enterprise-led Industry-University-Research’s financial innovation by forming innovation consortia and building scientific and technological innovation platforms." Xu Kangning said.
Taking Marubi Bio as an example, Sun Huaiqing, the chairman of the company, told the reporter: "We have formulated the strategy of’ double hundred’ research and development, with 100 full-time engineers inside and over 100 experts and scholars outside to jointly promote innovation, build a five-in-one research and development system of’ production, learning, medical research and inspection’, and create a closed loop of self-research and self-production of core biological raw materials and research and transformation of innovative technologies."
Optimize the allocation of resources to be new.
Promoting the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation requires the support of the capital market. Optimize the allocation of resources through the capital market and boost the steady development of new quality productivity.
For the problems faced by high-tech talents in entrepreneurship in recent years, Ning Min summed them up as "three shortages": in the initial stage of entrepreneurship, they often face a shortage of funds and it is difficult to maintain normal operation; Shortage of professionals in management and market; Lack of market experience, product definition and enterprise operation ability makes it easy to take detours.
To this end, Lenovo Star, a subsidiary of Legend Holdings, not only helped technology entrepreneurs in the form of venture capital, but also founded the "CEO Special Training Class". So far, it has accompanied 1364 entrepreneurs to grow up and witnessed the birth of 185 national-level specialized "Little Giant" enterprises and the successful listing of 61 enterprises. At present, Lenovo Star manages 11 early-stage investment funds with a total amount of nearly 5 billion yuan and has invested in 400 projects. "In addition to providing necessary financial support for science and technology entrepreneurs, we empower them to learn management and market knowledge through special training classes and become compound talents. At the same time, provide a resource sharing platform to achieve a win-win situation through the combination of industry and finance. " Ning Wei said.
Science and technology innovation board has become a fertile ground to promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation. In June, 2024, CSRC issued "Eight Measures on Deepening science and technology innovation board’s Reform to Serve Scientific and Technological Innovation and the Development of New Quality Productivity", closely following the theme of serving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and the development of new quality productivity, further highlighting the characteristics of science and technology innovation board’s "hard technology", proposing a package of reform measures, pointing out the direction for science and technology innovation board’s reform to "start again" and accumulating experience and creating conditions for the further comprehensive deepening of capital market reform.
At present, the implementation of the "science and technology innovation board Eight Articles" measures has been steadily advanced, especially a series of positive progress has been made in activating mergers and acquisitions and restructuring the market, optimizing the issuance and underwriting mechanism, and accelerating the research and development of index products. Innovative systems have been introduced one after another, and typical cases have been continuously launched, which has injected new impetus into supporting science and technology enterprises to achieve high-quality development.
For example, science and technology innovation board has further introduced "flowing water from the source" to promote high-quality technology-based enterprises to connect with the capital market. After the release of "science and technology innovation board Eight Articles", eight new companies were listed in science and technology innovation board, raising a total of 6.8 billion yuan through IPO. Jiachi Technology, a single champion in the field of stealth materials in China, Pioneer Precision, a leading enterprise in the localization of precision parts of semiconductor equipment, and other "little giant" enterprises with core technologies and dedicated to breaking overseas monopoly have landed in science and technology innovation board.
Since the release of "Eight Articles on science and technology innovation board" and "Six Articles on M&A", science and technology innovation board has newly disclosed more than 50 single equity acquisition projects, all of which are industrial mergers and acquisitions, with a total transaction amount exceeding 13 billion yuan, including 11 major asset restructurings, 14 acquisitions of unprofitable assets, 3 acquisitions of listed companies and 9 overseas mergers and acquisitions. The transaction is concentrated in high-tech fields such as biomedicine, semiconductors and medical devices, helping related companies to develop with high quality.
