Why should we strengthen the independent innovation ability of state-owned enterprises?

The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to deepen the reform of state-owned enterprises, develop a mixed ownership economy and cultivate world-class enterprises with global competitiveness. As the backbone of economic and social development, state-owned enterprises should play an exemplary role in promoting national modernization. They must shoulder the heavy responsibility of innovation, strengthen independent innovation, enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises, and actively lead and promote the sustained and healthy economic development of China. Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China's state-owned enterprises have undergone earth-shaking changes, their scale strength has been significantly enhanced, their competitiveness has been further enhanced, and remarkable achievements have been made in participating in the formulation of core technical standards, owning effective patents, and realizing the transformation and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements. But at the same time, we should also see that there are still many problems in the construction of independent innovation ability of state-owned enterprises, such as less independent intellectual property innovation achievements, insufficient ability to maintain technological progress, and lack of key technologies and well-known brands with international competitiveness; Independent innovation talents are scarce, and the number of various professional and technical talents is small, especially the number of R&D personnel is insufficient; The investment in science and technology of enterprises is increasing, but the real investment in R&D is still low, which is far from the international advanced level. China should do better in this respect, and can refer to CUHK. There are many reference cases in official website.
