Independent innovation refers to the process of realizing the value of new products through unique core technologies with independent intellectual property rights. Independent innovation includes original innovation, integrated innovation and imported technology re-innovation. The achievements of independent innovation are generally reflected in new scientific discoveries and technologies, products and brands with independent intellectual property rights.
Original innovation: refers to unprecedented major scientific discoveries, technological inventions, principled leading technologies and other innovative achievements. Original innovation refers to making unique discoveries or inventions in research and development, especially in basic research and high-tech research. Primitive innovation is the most fundamental innovation, the most intelligent innovation and an important embodiment of a nation's contribution to the progress of human civilization.
Integrated innovation: refers to the effective integration of existing technologies to form products or emerging industries with market competitiveness.
Introduction, digestion, absorption and re-innovation: refers to learning, analysis, reference and re-innovation on the basis of introducing advanced technologies at home and abroad to form new technologies with independent intellectual property rights. Introducing digestion, absorption and innovation is an important way to improve the ability of independent innovation. By introducing advanced technology directly to developed countries, especially using foreign direct investment, developing countries can realize independent innovation through digestion and absorption, which not only greatly shortens the innovation time, but also reduces the innovation risk.
Independent innovation is the soul of scientific and technological development, and it is also the source of power for enterprises to achieve faster and better development. At the China Netcom Technology Innovation Conference held on June 65438+1 October 65438+1October 9, 2007, Zhang Chunjiang, the chairman of China Netcom (Group) Co., Ltd., proposed that the whole group should explore and innovate, unswervingly take the road of independent innovation, go all out to do a good job in the construction of innovative enterprises, and strive to use15.

At the same time, the conference also commended seven units and 83 individuals of China Netcom who made outstanding contributions to technological innovation and won the "China Netcom Science and Technology Award", and promulgated "Several Opinions on the Construction of Technological Innovation System of China Netcom" and "Several Measures for Technical Evolution and Network Deployment of China Netcom". It can be said that this technological innovation conference opened a new chapter for China Netcom to take the road of independent innovation.
In his speech entitled "Unswervingly Take the Road of Independent Innovation and Build an Innovative Enterprise in an All-round Way", Chairman Zhang Chunjiang stated that China Netcom will adhere to the policy of scientific and technological development, strengthen independent innovation, do a good job in the pilot construction of innovative enterprises, and support the sustained, healthy and rapid development of China Netcom.
First of all, we should fully understand the great practical significance and far-reaching strategic significance of independent innovation, and further enhance the sense of responsibility and urgency in building innovative enterprises.
(1) Building an innovative enterprise is the mission of China Netcom, which contributes to building an innovative country and building a harmonious socialist society. Social harmony involves all aspects, and enterprise harmony is an important aspect. To be harmonious, enterprises must first innovate, adhere to the road of independent innovation, put the construction of innovative enterprises in a more prominent position, and constantly inject vitality and vitality into the long-term healthy and harmonious development of enterprises.
(B) Building an innovative enterprise is an important measure for China Netcom to adapt to the development trend of global information and communication technology. China Netcom is trying to change the traditional business model and operation model that telecom operators only provide telephone services for users for many years, and transform into an integrated information service provider based on broadband communication and multimedia services. In order to achieve this goal, China Netcom must conform to the rapid development trend of information technology, accurately grasp the development trend of the global telecommunications industry, and adhere to the road of independent innovation. Only in this way can we firmly grasp the competitive opportunities, win the initiative of development, and then realize the sustained and healthy development of enterprises.

Since its establishment, China Netcom has been committed to a development path with innovation as its main connotation, and has successively completed the integration and reorganization of the former Netcom (holding company), Jitong and Beifang 10 provincial telecommunications companies. Following the successful IPO in 2004, the main body of the group went public in 2005. Due to the continuous improvement of business performance and the realization of its commitment to the capital market, China Netcom was selected as a constituent stock of the Hang Seng Index one year in advance. After successfully purchasing 20% shares of PCCW and becoming its second largest shareholder, it also carried out strategic cooperation with Telefó nica. The other party purchased 5% shares of China Netcom and increased its shareholding to 9.9%. In addition, China Netcom officially became a partner of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, and strived to realize the first "Broadband Olympics" in human history through technological innovation, business innovation and management innovation. The achievement of these achievements can not be separated from China Netcom's unswerving independent innovation.
Secondly, we must firmly grasp the current rare period of development opportunities and scientifically deploy the construction of innovative enterprises.
Zhang Chunjiang said that China Netcom's innovative enterprise construction has entered a new stage, and one of its long-term strategic tasks is to "cooperate with Qixin to build a national engineering laboratory for the application of next-generation Internet broadband services; Go all out to build a national innovative pilot enterprise. " This congress clarified the general guiding ideology of building an innovative enterprise, that is, under the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development, conscientiously implement the spirit of the national science and technology conference and vigorously implement the innovation strategy. On the one hand, with the goal of building an innovative enterprise, guided by market and customer demand, focusing on the "three strategies" of service groups, based on optimizing innovation resources, and taking Industry-University-Research Innovation Alliance as the carrier, we will focus on strengthening integrated innovation and introducing, digesting, absorbing and re-innovating; On the one hand, establish a three-dimensional innovation system from leaders to front-line employees, from front-end market to back-end R&D support, and from the group to the province, comprehensively promote the group's business innovation, technological innovation, management innovation and service innovation, and accelerate the realization of the development goal of "broadband communication and multimedia service provider". The overall goal of China Netcom to build an innovative enterprise is to serve the development strategy of China Netcom, meet the needs of China Netcom to develop into a broadband communication and multimedia service provider, and strive to build China Netcom into a first-class innovative enterprise with certain influence in China and even in the world within/kloc-0 to 5 years.
In order to achieve this goal, China Netcom will focus on the following main tasks: First, through business innovation, it will ensure the innovative ability of products, services and services, so that the Group can freely cope with the increasingly fierce competition in the domestic and foreign telecommunications markets, so that the proportion of broadband business income of enterprises ranks at the leading level in the same industry in China, reaching 32%, and its service ability and service level enter the first camp in Asia. Second, through technological innovation, improve the independent technological innovation ability, make it become the engine to ensure the smooth, sustained and healthy operation of technological evolution and network transformation, become the "vanguard" of central enterprises to build innovative enterprises and the main force in the national information and communication field, and the R&D investment income ratio ranks first in the same industry in China, reaching 2.48% in 2008; It plays a leading role in the formulation of domestic and international standards, and the number of patent applications has increased by 30% annually.

To be sure, the establishment of National Engineering Laboratory and System Integration Co., Ltd. will play an important role in promoting China Netcom's independent innovation and improving its independent innovation capability.
Improving the ability of independent innovation is of great strategic significance to China's economic development and national security. There used to be a saying: "A country has no political independence without economic independence." Now it seems that this statement is far from enough, and it should be changed to "A country has no economic and political independence without technological independence." Many countries in the world have become "independent". Their laws are truly independent politically and economically, and they must also be independent technically. Otherwise, if you are still technically attached to people, it will be difficult to get rid of the situation of being subject to people, and your political and economic independence will be greatly reduced. But to achieve complete technological independence, we must innovate independently.
Fortunately, China's independent innovation ability has shown a good momentum in recent years. Most internationally competitive industries or enterprises rely on new technologies independently developed. Program-controlled switches, hybrid rice, aerospace and shipbuilding industries are all the same. Founded only a few years ago, Anhui Chery Automobile Company independently developed cars and got back the world's big orders. The research group led by Huang Boyun, academician of China Academy of Engineering and president of Central South University, insisted on independent innovation for 20 years, and finally solved the technical problem of preparing aviation brake materials, breaking the technical blockade of foreign countries in one fell swoop, making China the fourth country after Britain, France and the United States to have this manufacturing technology and produce such high-tech products. It can be seen that independent innovation is magical. Independent innovation is not unattainable. We can do what others can do! The advanced collectives, advanced individuals and various scientific and technological achievements commended today are the best examples.
Independent development, innovation and self-improvement The CPC Central Committee with General Secretary Hu Jintao put forward new requirements for scientific and technological work, and pointed out the direction for the development of China's scientific and technological undertakings. After this award ceremony, the whole country will certainly create a better environment for independent innovation in science and technology. We must further emancipate our minds, dispel doubts, cheer up our spirits, shoulder the hope of the nation, set sail for independent innovation, and forge new monuments in the great cause of strengthening the country through science and technology with indomitable spirit, ambition to win glory for our country and courage to compete!
