The Forum released the Xinhua Marine Science and Technology Innovation Index Report (20 14), and Qingdao, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin and Dalian became the top five cities in China in terms of comprehensive innovation capability of marine science and technology.
According to Zhou Wenlong, executive vice president of Index Research Institute of National Financial Information Center, marine science and technology is generally characterized by "unbalanced" innovation input, innovation output, innovation application and innovation environment. Qingdao and Shanghai are the most prominent, and they have advantages at one end of the innovation ecosystem respectively. Qingdao is mainly manifested in the advantages of marine science and technology output, and the number of marine patents is ahead of other cities; Shanghai occupies a leading position in the trading and transformation of marine science and technology market; Guangzhou has the advantage of an innovative environment.
There are 17 cities included in the index evaluation, namely Guangzhou, Zhanjiang, Zhoushan, Yantai, Weihai, Tianjin, Shanghai, Dalian, Yancheng, Zhangzhou, Qingdao, Xiamen, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, Haikou, Shenzhen and Ningbo.
The results show that Qingdao ranks first among 17 cities, followed by Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin and Dalian. Weihai and Yantai, the other two cities in Shandong, are ranked at 1 1 and 14 respectively.
From the perspective of regional distribution, the development of marine science and technology is highly correlated with the development of marine economy. 10 top cities, the Bohai Rim and the Yangtze River Delta each have three seats, and the Pearl River Delta and the west side of the Straits each have two seats. This distribution pattern is basically consistent with the development pattern of marine economy.
The report also makes a comprehensive analysis of the top three cities. It is found that although Qingdao, Shanghai and Guangzhou rank among the top three, they all show the characteristics of "imbalance" in terms of marine science and technology innovation input, innovation output, innovation application and innovation environment. Specifically, Qingdao and Shanghai are the most prominent, occupying advantages at one end of the innovation ecosystem respectively. The main feature of Qingdao is the output advantage of marine science and technology, and the number of marine patents is ahead of other cities, while Shanghai occupies a leading position in the trading and transformation of marine science and technology market. Guangzhou has advantages in innovation environment, but the comprehensive level of marine science and technology innovation is weaker than Qingdao and Shanghai.
