Innovation is the first driving force for development. In 2021, scientific and technological innovation will support and lead the high-quality development of China’s economy.
In recent years, the global economy has been hit by the COVID-19 epidemic, but China’s economy has maintained a growth trend. In 2021, China’s innovation-driven development trend continued to improve, the profit growth rate and investment growth rate of high-tech industries maintained a high level, and the transformation of old and new kinetic energy was accelerated during the epidemic.
The economic growth of national high-tech zones is good.
National High-tech Zone has become an important strategic support and new growth point of China’s economy. From January to August this year, 169 national high-tech zones realized an operating income of 29.5 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.9%; The total profit was 2.3 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 36.8%; The total export volume was 3.0 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 25.4%; The profit rate of national high-tech zone enterprises’ operating income was 7.8%, an increase of 0.9 percentage points over the same period of last year; The number of newly registered enterprises in the National High-tech Zone was 436,000, a year-on-year increase of 34.1%.
"These data show that the national high-tech zone economy has maintained a good growth momentum and innovation and entrepreneurship have continued to be active." Jia Jingdun, director of the Torch Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology, said.
The performance of high-tech zones such as Zhongguancun in Beijing and Donghu in Wuhan is quite outstanding. From January to August, the technology income of Zhongguancun Science Park was 996.68 billion yuan, up 26.3% year-on-year, and the sales income of new products was 592.58 billion yuan, up 96.0% year-on-year. Together, they accounted for about 30% of the total income, and the income structure continued to be optimized. The profit rate of the enterprise was 10.5%, 1.6 times that of the same period of last year. From January to August, the leading industries in Wuhan Donghu High-tech Zone continued to develop strongly, and the industrial output value of optoelectronic information industry reached 125.52 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 40.2%.
High-tech Zone solves problems for enterprises in the park and optimizes various services.
"Haidian Pioneer Park has solved the financing problem of enterprises, and the service has achieved results and the amount has reached a new high." Zhao Xinliang, director of in haidian estate of zhongguancun science park Innovation Service Center, introduced that Haidian Pioneer Park has classified and integrated the resources of more than 800 high-quality cooperative institutions, effectively linked financing needs and reduced corporate financing costs. In 2021, 9 financing docking activities have been held, including the "three or three meetings" and investor meetings, with 180 sub-enterprises and more than 600 sub-investment institutions participating. They also joined the Beijing Equity Exchange Center to recommend 240 high-quality enterprises to land on the "four boards" for free, helping enterprises to standardize their operations and enter the multi-level capital market.
High-tech zones actively responded to the requirements of self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology, and launched a number of reforms.
The "Minshan Action" plan is a special practice launched by Chengdu High-tech Zone this year. It is based on the actual ability and effectiveness of solving the problem of "sticking the neck" in industrial development. After the release of the first demand list, 92 application teams were attracted, including 18 academicians leading the team. At present, six new R&D institutions, including Chengdu Minshan Institute of Hydrogen Energy and Carbon Neutralization Technology and Chengdu Minshan Institute of Power Semiconductor Technology, have successfully unveiled the list and obtained support funds of about 450 million yuan.
"The team that successfully unveiled the list needs to sign the task book for unveiling the list and set up ‘ Military order ’ , according to the established goals and ‘ Milestone ’ Node to attack, and take ‘ Assessment once a year, elimination once every three years ’ Management methods, timely suspension of non-performance or poor progress of the project. " Wang Xiaoning, deputy director of Chengdu Hi-tech Zone Science and Technology Talent Bureau, said.
High-tech enterprises operate efficiently
High-tech enterprise groups have gradually become the main force of scientific and technological innovation. At present, there are 278,000 high-tech enterprises in China, accounting for only 0.6% of the total number of enterprises in the country, but the R&D expenditure is as high as 1.33 trillion yuan, exceeding 70% of the R&D expenditure of enterprises in the country.
Some high-tech leading enterprises aim at the future and increase investment.
At the Guangzhou Auto Show on November 18th, Iflytek Smart Car unveiled many intelligent interactive products, and officially released a set of "Flying Fish Intelligent Audio Management System". Advanced sound algorithms such as 3D immersion surround sound with independent intellectual property rights can instantly restore audio with high quality, bringing users a richer and fuller listening experience.
"The automobile has a long industrial chain and high technical complexity. In the context of the Internet of Everything, the automobile has become one of the main battlefields for the application of artificial intelligence." Wu Xiaoru, president of Iflytek, said that at present, Iflytek is making joint efforts from many aspects, such as intelligent interaction, intelligent service and intelligent sound field, to help the automobile industry upgrade in an all-round way.
With the rise of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, the global intelligent networked automobile industry has ushered in a new major historical development opportunity. Iflytek has been deeply involved in the automobile field for 18 years, and delivered more than 1,000 models, with a front-mounted capacity of over 31 million and an annual installed capacity of over 6 million.
Some traditional industrial enterprises use technology to drive transformation and upgrading.
Xin ‘an Chemical is a leading enterprise in glyphosate production industry in China. In view of the widespread phenomenon of "flue gas tailing" in the industry, Xin’ an Chemical has stepped up scientific and technological research and pioneered the "deep treatment technology of directional conversion flue gas" nationwide; More than 20 million yuan was invested in six new projects of tail gas treatment technology after the production of glyphosate by-product crude phosphate. The flue gas treatment system of directional conversion unit realized the upgrading of the process and the upgrading of environmental protection devices.
Yu Meidong, director of phosphate plant in Xin ‘an Chemical Industry, introduced that the technology deeply treated the directional conversion flue gas and realized the ultra-low emission of tail gas from chemical production. "We believe that the enterprises that take the lead in bid upgrading can gain market opportunities and realize transformation and development."
High-quality input brings high-quality output. According to the statistics of China National Intellectual Property Administration, by the end of September 2021, high-tech enterprises had 5.617 million valid patents, an increase of 15.8% over the same period of last year, including 1.127 million valid invention patents, an increase of 20.1% over the same period of last year.
