Harbin and Xuzhou have good economic conditions.

There are 408 engineering technology R&D centers and technology innovation centers at or above the provincial level in Guangdong Province, including 33 national engineering technology R&D centers. 20 1 provincial professional towns in the province have established 128 scientific and technological innovation platforms.

In 2006, the output value of high-tech products in the province was 65.438+055.48 billion yuan, 3.3 times that of five years ago; The export value of high-tech products exceeded US$ 654.38+002 billion, 2.654.38+0 times that of four years ago, and continued to rank first in China.

In 2002, Guangdong's R&D expenditure was 654.38+056 billion yuan; In 2006, Guangdong spent 29 billion yuan on R&D, an increase of 86% over five years ago.

Focusing on the development needs of pillar industries, Guangdong organized and implemented 155 Industry-University-Research-combined science and technology projects, which attracted technology and talents from 93 famous universities across the country and realized effective cooperation with 600 enterprises in Guangdong. The project will drive enterprises to invest 654.38+0.5 billion yuan in R&D. It is estimated that the annual output value will exceed 654.38+0.0 billion yuan and the profit and tax will be 2 billion yuan.

In 2006, the number of patent applications and authorizations in our province were 90,886 and 435 16, respectively, accounting for 19% of the national total, of which the number of invention patent applications reached 2 135 1 piece, exceeding the number of national applications by16.

People's perspective

Story 1: The stew pot for soup, the non-stick pot for cooking, and the small electric pot for boiling water, seemingly ordinary household appliances, actually contain a lot of scientific and technological content. As the largest manufacturer of hardware and small household appliances in China, 200 small and medium-sized enterprises in our province have chosen the same intelligence library-Welding Materials Research Institute of Guangzhou Nonferrous Metals Research Institute.

Story 2: In the fierce competition in the air-conditioning market, the sales volume of Gree air-conditioners increased by 30% from 2002 to 2006, and the sales volume increased from more than 2 million units to more than130,000 units, ranking first in the household appliance industry in terms of tax payment, making it the largest air-conditioner export enterprise in China.

Journalist's point of view

Since the reform and opening up, Guangdong has relied on foreign technology, equipment and capital, and its economic development has reached a higher level. However, in today's increasingly fierce competition at home and abroad, relying on external forces is not enough to gain a foothold, let alone continue to be the vanguard. Therefore, the provincial party committee and government have a great sense of mission and responsibility to enhance the scientific and technological innovation ability of our province.

There is a shortage of scientific and technological talents in our province, especially scientific and technological leaders, and this problem is difficult to improve obviously in three to five years. To this end, Guangdong has introduced the top scientific research forces in China with innovative platforms such as public laboratories, bidding for key areas, and cooperation between Guangdong and Industry-University-Research, thus broadening the development bottleneck.

Five years ago, the contribution rate of Guangdong's scientific and technological progress to the economy was 45%, and now this figure has increased to 50%. A seemingly insignificant 5 percentage points is of great significance. It marks that Guangdong is still in the forefront of the country in terms of economic aggregate, and its innovation ability has taken a big step from weak to strong.

The scientific and technological strength of our province has an obvious feature: enterprises are the main force of scientific and technological innovation, and 70% of scientific and technological personnel, funds and products come from enterprises. In the past five years, this feature has become more distinct. Not only large enterprises such as Huawei and ZTE have become innovation "stars" among national enterprises, but tens of thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises have also joined the ranks of innovation.

The five years since the Ninth Provincial Party Congress have witnessed the fastest improvement in the level of scientific and technological innovation in our province. The provincial party committee and the provincial government attach great importance to the progress of industrial technology, and have successively promulgated the Outline of Guangdong's Medium-and Long-term Science and Technology Development Plan and the Eleventh Five-Year Plan for Guangdong's Science and Technology Development, further defining the strategy of implementing independent innovation, and formulating a number of supporting policies for the Guangdong Provincial People's Government to promote independent innovation, including scientific and technological investment, tax incentives, financial support, government procurement, introduction, digestion, absorption and re-innovation, intellectual property protection, and talent team building.

In order to upgrade Guangdong's "manufacturing province" and "patent province" to "creation province" and "patent province", the Guangdong provincial government concentrated financial resources and integrated departmental resources, made key breakthroughs in key technologies that restricted industrial development, and played an important role in promoting independent innovation.

In recent years, batches of key technologies have made breakthroughs in stages, and the technical level of products has reached and approached the international advanced level.

In the past five years, the government, science and technology departments, scientific research institutes and enterprises have been twisted into a rope, which has promoted the scientific and technological strength of our province, especially the innovation ability. In 2002, the output value of high-tech products in Guangdong Province was 469 billion yuan, and by last year this figure had increased to 654.38+055.48 billion yuan, 3.3 times that of five years ago. In addition, during Guangdong's fight against SARS and avian influenza, which threatened people's health, the provincial government concentrated the scientific and technological strength of the whole province and even the whole country to tackle key problems, and made outstanding contributions to repelling the epidemic in China and even the world.

Five years ago, Guangdong's scientific and technological progress contributed 45% to the economy; Now this figure has increased to 50%, indicating that innovation is playing an increasingly important role in Guangdong's economic development, and industrial development is replacing imitation and extensive with innovation and exquisiteness.

Welding Research Institute: Driving 7 Billion Yuan Industry with Science and Technology

"Transformation of scientific research institutes"

The Mystery of Pot Bottom in Courtyard Research

Braised pot for soup, non-stick pot for cooking and small electric pot for boiling water are becoming more and more popular and exquisite. Consumers may not know that the material at the bottom of the pot and the heating tube in the pot contain a lot of scientific and technological content.

It is said that 80% kitchen stainless steel products in the world are produced in China, while 60% kitchen stainless steel products in China are produced in Guangdong. This is supported by the efforts of industry and scientific research. In the provincial hardware professional town of our province, hundreds of enterprises have chosen the same intelligent library-Welding Materials Research Institute of Guangzhou Nonferrous Metals Research Institute.

Guangzhou General Research Institute of Nonferrous Metals, which was originally a national ministry, has been under the management of Guangdong Province. Focusing on the needs of high-tech industries and pillar industries in our province, it has actively solved industrial problems and established five national, provincial and municipal public laboratories, key laboratories and R&D centers.

The story behind institutional transformation

Small and medium-sized enterprises place technology "orders" with the Institute.

In the past, the key material for manufacturing hardware kitchenware products-high-quality solder for welding dissimilar metals in a large area was a difficult problem that small and medium-sized enterprises could not solve independently, and the product grade and quality were unstable. Export enterprises rely on imported materials, which have high cost and cannot guarantee delivery time. In view of the above problems in the hardware industry, the Welding Materials Research Institute of Guangzhou Nonferrous Metals Research Institute independently developed brazing materials, processes and technologies, and obtained 12 patents and standards. This is widely spread among small and medium-sized enterprises in our province and the whole country, including Shunde, Shenzhen and other places, and even small household appliances and automobile air-conditioning enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta have come to ask for tips for welding.

It is understood that every day, researchers from the Institute go deep into enterprises to learn about new problems and listen to new requirements. According to the different technical requirements of enterprises, the research institute meets them one by one through scientific research.

These technical patents have promoted the development of related industries and achieved an output value of 7 billion yuan.

The innovative system behind the story

Industry-University-Research promotes industrial competitiveness through integration.

The doors and windows opened by Guangdong Research Institute in the system reform have participated in the construction of a number of high-level industrial and public innovation platforms through resource integration and reorganization, forming an independent innovation system full of vitality and open competition. Because the government vigorously promotes the combination of scientific research institutions and enterprises, the innovation ability of scientific research institutions in our province has generally improved, and the ability to serve enterprises has been significantly enhanced.

Compared with before the reform in 2006 1998, the overall technical income of scientific research institutions increased by about 50%, and the patents obtained increased by nearly three times. On the other hand, the small and medium-sized enterprises in 20 1 professional towns in our province used to be tinkering with little technical content, but now they have introduced top domestic technical forces, and even academicians of the two academies have conducted research and development or consulting, which greatly increased the competitiveness of products, technologies and marketing, made entrepreneurs stand high and look far, and made enterprises bigger and stronger.

Corporate story

Gree: Independent brand makes the world "singles champion"

"Gree's famous brand strategy"

"World famous brand" drives annual growth of more than 30%.

In the first two months of this year, Gree Electric's export volume exceeded one million units, making it the largest air conditioner exporter in China. The rapid development of overseas markets is only a microcosm of the rapid development of Gree Electric, the only "world famous brand" enterprise in China's air-conditioning industry. In the overall downturn of the household appliance industry, in 2006, Gree Electric's sales revenue reached more than 23 billion yuan, making it the "singles champion" in the field of household air conditioning in the world for the second year in a row!

More than a decade ago, it was just a small factory with an annual output of 20 thousand air conditioners. Now it has become the largest specialized enterprise in the world, with 30,000 employees and an annual output of air conditioners150,000 units. What are the reasons for the rapid development of Gree Electric? Dong Mingzhu, president of the company, pointed out that the key point is to persist in independent innovation and take the road of famous brand. Because of this, Gree's sales increased from 7 billion yuan in 2002 to 23.7 billion yuan in 2006, with an annual growth rate of 30%, ranking first in the home appliance industry for seven consecutive years.

"The Story Behind Brand Strategy"

When doing brand promotion, I want to build a famous brand.

At the end of 1990s, the international market was dominated by foreign brands, and China air-conditioning enterprises lacked brand awareness. In order to make a breakthrough in the international market in a short time, OEM (OEM) is a shortcut. At that time, Gree Electric also made full use of the competitive advantage of low manufacturing cost and obtained OEM orders from multinational companies such as Panasonic, Daikin, Whirlpool, Carrier and Siemens. The export volume soared rapidly and successfully entered the international mainstream market.

However, Gree Electric gradually realized that China enterprises must eventually rely on their own brands to go global, and Gree Electric cannot become a processing factory for foreign enterprises. From the day when products were produced by OEM, Gree Electric gradually promoted its own brand in export, established the concept of "establishing an enterprise by quality", closely focused on independent innovation, and constantly enhanced its brand value. At present, Gree brand air conditioners have been exported to more than 60 countries and regions. In Brazil, Gree Electric has sales outlets in 24 states, * * * has more than 300 agents, more than 65,438+0,000 retailers, more than 300 service outlets and installation companies. With the advantages of complete varieties and exquisite craftsmanship, Gree Air Conditioning has established the image of a well-known brand of China household appliances in Brazil.

The development achievements behind the story

"Golden signboard" has become the locomotive of Guangdong's development

The implementation of independent innovation and brand-driven strategy in our province has improved the industrial competitiveness. By 2006, the famous brand products in China, Guangdong Province have been ranked first in the country for six consecutive years, and the national inspection-free products have been ranked first in the country for seven consecutive years. These "golden signboards" have become the locomotive of Guangdong's economic development. According to statistics, in 2005, the total industrial output value of brand-name products manufacturing enterprises in our province was 740 1 100 million yuan, accounting for 18% of the province's added value, driving the province's industrial economic growth by 2.76 percentage points.

Large enterprise groups and enterprise groups in our province, which are led by famous brand products, give full play to the competitive advantages of brands in the market, attract the convergence of various production factors, form fist products, leading enterprises and pillar industries, and emerge a number of large enterprise groups with output value exceeding 10 billion yuan, such as Huawei, ZTE, Gree, TCL, CIMC, Midea and Galanz, which have promoted the development of pillar industries such as electronic information and motors in our province.

Classic example

ZTE: Winning Independent Technical Standards in 3G Era

"ZTE's independent research and development"

There has been a heated debate about whether to engage in independent innovation.

ZTE, a comprehensive communication manufacturing company founded in 1985, is now one of the few communication giants in the world. In 2005, ZTE achieved sales revenue of 210.50 billion yuan, and its main revenue in the first three quarters of 2006 also reached10.59265438+0 billion yuan.

But who would have thought that such a giant as the communication industry started from other people's products and even argued fiercely within the enterprise to engage in independent innovation?

Xie Daxiong, the senior vice president who grew up with ZTE, has a particularly deep memory of this history. According to his memory, in 1986, ZTE, which had just been established for one year, made a bold decision: to develop its own switches. At that time, the domestic switch market was almost monopolized by foreign brands, and most domestic communication enterprises could only become agents.

In this case, ZTE undoubtedly needs great courage to engage in independent research and development. Regardless of capital investment and personnel training, ZTE may suffer heavy losses just because of the possible loss of agency orders. Because of this, the internal debate in ZTE was quite fierce at that time, and many shareholders disapproved of taking the road of independent research and development. "Fortunately, the leadership at that time pushed the herd and adhered to the road of independent research and development, otherwise there would be no ZTE today." Xie Daxiong said with emotion.

"The Story Behind Independent R&D"

Innovation makes communication enterprises bigger and stronger.

Facts have also proved that adhering to independent research and development is the last word for national communication enterprises to become bigger and stronger. 1987, the switch developed by ZTE passed the test of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and won the network access license. 1989, ZTE launched the first domestic digital program-controlled computer with independent intellectual property rights. These independent innovations enabled ZTE to survive the large-scale price war in the switch market of 1992, while more than 200 small enterprises that were still "persistent" as agents closed down one after another.

2 1 century, independent innovation has made ZTE taste greater sweetness. From 2000 to 2004, the compound annual growth rate of ZTE's revenue reached 365,438+0%, and the scale of research and development continued to increase, especially in the 3G technical standard TD-SCDMA independently developed by China.

The industrial promotion behind the story

Independent innovation to build a world-famous brand

The success of ZTE is only a microcosm of the rapid development of Guangdong's communications industry. In 200 1 year, the number of telephone users in Guangdong Province was only 4 1 10,000, and now it has exceeded 1 100 million, which is equivalent to the number of users in Germany, Japan and other countries. By the end of 2006, the total revenue of telecom business in Guangdong Province is expected to exceed 250 billion yuan, accounting for about 1/6 of the whole country, and it is a veritable communication province.

Especially in the field of independent innovation, Guangdong communication enterprises strive to be the vanguard. Up to now, they have successfully built world-famous communication brands such as Huawei and ZTE, and won the bridgehead for China communication enterprises to go global.

Reporter's notes

Recruit talents regardless of east, west, north and south, and introduce talents regardless of introspection.

Lin

It's the spring of March, and everything is full of vitality.

The reporter learned the latest situation of science and technology in our province: the number of invention patent applications in our province has reached 3742 in the first two months, which is about 1/3 and 40% more than that in Beijing and Shanghai, which rank second and third respectively. In addition, there is the 19 National Science and Technology Award recently announced, and a research led by Fu Jiamo, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, won the second prize of the National Natural Science Award. In addition, the invention patents of ZTE Corporation and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. in our province account for 93% of the total number of patent applications, far exceeding other enterprises. These boring data show that Guangdong's independent innovation is entering the fast lane.

Since the reform and opening up, Guangdong's economic strength has been ahead of the whole country, but its scientific and technological strength is far behind that of Beijing and Shanghai, especially the lack of scientific research talents and the weak research and development strength of core technologies and key technologies. Although Guangdong has been the largest patent province for many years, the number and proportion of invention patents have always been low, accounting for only 1 1% of the total patent applications in 2002. The IT and electronic industries with the largest industrial scale in our province, more than 90% of invention patents are in the hands of foreign enterprises, which has become the bottleneck of the development of our province's economy, especially high-tech industries. Zhang Dejiang, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and secretary of the provincial party committee, once pointed out: "Guangdong's development is at a critical turning point. If properly planned, it will continue to be at the forefront of the country and play a better vanguard role; Otherwise, it will be overtaken by pursuers and lose its vanguard position. Improving the ability of independent innovation is a decisive battle related to the future and destiny of Guangdong. Comrades, work hard! "

Therefore, in recent years, according to its own characteristics and weak links, Guangdong has strengthened the integration and reorganization of resources, selected pillar industries and key areas, built a number of high-level industries and public innovation platforms, and comprehensively enhanced its independent innovation capability.

In this process, South Vietnamese people have broadened their horizons. Scientific and technological plans such as joint bidding between Guangdong and Hong Kong for four consecutive years have attracted talents and technologies from Harbin in the north and Hong Kong in the south, overcome difficulties for core technologies in key areas of Guangdong and promote industrial by going up one flight of stairs. The total investment in joint research alone increased from 265.438 million in 2003, 340 million in 2004 and 520 million in 2005 to 820 million in 2006, and the participating units expanded from Guangdong Province to many cities in the Pearl River Delta. Once implemented, the projects carried out in six fields last year, such as information and communication, precision manufacturing technology and products, new materials and nanotechnology, biomedicine and health, new energy and environmental protection, and modern agriculture, will drive social science and technology investment of 654.38+02 billion yuan, and 350 invention patents will be obtained after completion.

In this process, South Vietnamese people opened their minds. Since 2004, Guangdong has invested 65.438+0.5 billion yuan to build platforms such as cooperation between provinces and Industry-University-Research, provincial public laboratories, etc., so that subordinate universities can pair up with advantageous enterprises in Guangdong Province. Therefore, it can effectively mobilize the enthusiasm of enterprises to invest in science and technology, produce a driving and amplification effect of more than 1: 10, and guide enterprises to invest more than10.50 billion yuan. A number of venture capital, bank loans and financing guarantee funds have also been invested in succession, which has effectively promoted Guangdong's high-tech R&D and achievement transformation.

In this process, the people of South Guangdong changed their ideas. Guangdong people, who were once considered to be the most practical and concerned about the present, made calculations and laid the foundation for the future. Last year, the Guangdong provincial government took the lead in setting up a natural science joint fund with the National Natural Science Foundation of China, with a total investment of 50 million yuan, to guide well-known national scientific and technological experts and teams to solve major scientific problems related to future development and provide technical reserves and development stamina for Guangdong's development. Not only is the government aware of this, but the towns from the Pearl River Delta to the mountainous areas and the fastest-growing two wings are also planning their own future paths, and they have joined the professional towns of scientific and technological innovation one after another and listened to the guidance of the experts and academicians of the South-to-North Cavity Transfer Project.

Today, our province has initially created a big environment for independent innovation. However, there is still a long way to go. It is necessary to form a regional independent innovation system full of vitality and open competition.

The numbers change.

65.438+05.6 billion → 29 billion In 2002, Guangdong's R&D expenditure was 65.438+05.6 billion yuan; In 2006, the fund was 29 billion yuan, an increase of 86% over five years ago. There are 408 engineering technology R&D centers and technology innovation centers above the provincial level in our province, including 33 national engineering technology R&D centers. There are 128 technological innovation platforms in 20 1 provincial specialized towns in the province, with about 500,000 technicians.

5.6 times In 2006, the number of patent applications and authorizations in our province were 90,886 and 435 16 respectively, ranking first in China for 12 years in a row, among which the number of invention patent applications reached 2 135 1 piece, which was 5.6 times that of 2002, exceeding the number of national applications/.

654.38+000 billion yuan Guangdong organized and implemented the special project of combining Industry-University-Research with the province, attracted technology and talents from 93 well-known universities in China, and achieved effective cooperation with 600 enterprises in Guangdong. These projects can drive enterprises to invest 654.38+05 billion yuan, with an estimated annual output value of over 654.38+00 billion yuan and profits and taxes of 2 billion yuan.

Looking forward to the development in five years.

In 2002, the output value of high-tech products in Guangdong reached 469 billion yuan, accounting for 23% of the total industrial output value. In 2003, the output value of high-tech products in Guangdong reached 6 100 billion yuan, and the export value of products reached 481700,000 US dollars, accounting for 3 1.5% of the export value of manufactured goods, accounting for 43.7% of the whole country. In 2004, the output value of Guangdong's high-tech products reached 83.7%, and its product exports reached 66.464 billion US dollars, accounting for 38.2% of the province's manufactured goods exports, accounting for 40% of the whole country, ranking first in the country for 1 1 year.

In 2005, the output value of high-tech products in the province exceeded one trillion yuan for the first time, reaching 654.38+006.8 billion yuan, up 30% year-on-year, with exports of 83.58 billion US dollars.

In 2006, the output value of high-tech products in the province was 65.438+055.48 billion yuan, 3.3 times that of five years ago. Exports exceeded $654.38+002 billion, 2.654.38+0 times that of four years ago, and continued to rank first in the country.
