At the same time, Shao Xinyu pointed out that it is necessary to create a good innovation ecology and a highland for future industrial cultivation. Future industries are forward-looking and highly uncertain, so it is necessary to improve the support of innovation ecology, aim at the development direction of future industries where conditions permit, create an innovation ecology that conforms to the law of future industrial development, explore an inclusive system, make overall arrangements for basic research, technological innovation and industrialization, carry out cultivation demonstrations, and build a highland for future industrial development.
Locally, Beijing is accelerating the construction of an international science and technology innovation center, proactively laying out basic research, strengthening the supply of technology and knowledge sources for future industries, smoothing the integration of basic research and industrial development, laying out key areas such as artificial intelligence and biotechnology, and creating an open innovation platform to create a good environment for future industrial development. According to the characteristics of the future industry, Shenzhen will continue to increase investment in basic research and applied basic research, focusing on basic sciences such as information science and material science, and establish a first-class open source platform and R&D platform. At the same time, through the leading enterprises to form an innovative consortium model, give full play to the advantages of scientific and technological resources, support the undertaking of major scientific and technological tasks of provinces and departments, and organize the implementation of key technical research projects.
Many frontier areas welcome key support.
Take nanotechnology as an example, it is a national strategic industrial technology, which is supportive and cutting-edge. Including atomic manufacturing, smart medical care, new energy, nanocatalysis, biological safety and so on are all related to this. It is reported that China has been in the first phalanx in the world in the application research of nanotechnology, and the number of SCI papers and patents ranks first in the world, while China has the foundation of breaking through from 0 to 1. "We plan to build a nano-industrial cluster park, including nano-manufacturing and intelligent technology industrial park, nano-medical health technology industrial park and nano-metamaterial industrial park." Zhao, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the National Nanoscience Center, revealed.
In promoting the integration of artificial intelligence and industry, China has increased the transformation and application of intelligent vision, auxiliary medical care and other fields, which has provided strong support for high-quality economic development. Taking Zhongguancun in Beijing as an example, the data shows that in 2020, the output value of artificial intelligence in Zhongguancun reached 65.438+086 billion yuan, up 9.8% year-on-year, more than twice the output value of 2065.438+06, and the compound annual growth rate reached 654.38+09.4% during the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period.
"In the next step, we will focus on the second phase of artificial intelligence development planning, focus on promoting the integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy, and open up new artificial intelligence application scenarios in the fields of manufacturing, transportation and medical care around the needs of the real economy and the improvement of people's livelihood." Zhang Xu, deputy director of the Strategic Planning Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology, said that in improving the original innovation ability of artificial intelligence, the state will vigorously develop technologies such as chips and operating systems, proactively lay out basic theories and cross-research of artificial intelligence, vigorously promote the scientific discovery of artificial intelligence, and at the same time promote the development of brain science, thus accelerating the theoretical breakthrough of artificial intelligence technology.
Accelerate the improvement of supporting policies
In the opinion of experts, the future industry is forward-looking and subversive, and it also has high uncertainty. While doing a good job in top-level design, we should further improve the supporting policy guarantee.
Jia Jingdun, director of the Torch Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology, said: First, it is necessary to speed up the construction of a modern system and mechanism to adapt to future industrial development, speed up the improvement of precise policies and measures to adapt to future industrial development, form a diversified innovation ecology, and speed up the establishment of a technology and financial system to adapt to future industrial development. Provide application-oriented scenarios for future industrial development, and strengthen basic research and applied basic research for future development. The second is to strengthen the transformation and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, especially the incubation and growth of scientific and technological enterprises as an important work focus, laying the foundation stone for future industrial development. The third is to innovate policies and systems, improve and optimize existing policies and systems, and make them better adapt to new products, new technologies, new enterprises and new industries.
Pan said that it is necessary to build a cultivation system for future industries and promote the layout in a hierarchical, systematic and systematic manner. The first is the layout of factors, including talents needed for future industrial development and intellectual property protection. Secondly, facing the future industrial development scene, we will expand the application of typical new technologies such as new generation information technology and intelligent manufacturing technology, thus deriving new formats and models. At the same time, do a good job in the layout of innovation platform system, running through basic research, applied research, technological innovation and other links.
Fang Lin, deputy director of Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Committee, believes that it is necessary to increase financial support and actively play the role of special funds at all levels. Taking the future network development as an example, it is necessary to provide corresponding financial guarantee in frontier research, core technology research and application demonstration, give full play to the role of various government-guided funds in inciting social funds, and form a financial support system covering the whole chain of the industry.
"Both future industries and strategic emerging industries must be based on the global cooperation system. Without global information comparison, it is easy to make mistakes, which is an important feature of the future industry. " Wang, chairman of Tiqi Holdings Limited, believes that the future industry has its uncertainties, and a corresponding decision-making exemption mechanism should be established.
