On the morning of February 18, the Municipal Government Information Office held a press conference on the interpretation of policies related to innovation-driven high-quality development in Changzhou City, interpreting the "Implementation Opinions on Innovation-driven High-Quality Development" and "On Promoting Innovation-driven Development" "Several Policies" (hereinafter referred to as "Implementation Opinions" and "Several Policies").
In recent years, Changzhou has focused on the construction of a science and education innovation star city, in-depth implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy, and achieved good results. The National Innovative City Innovation Capacity Index ranks 16th in the country. In order to further enhance the innovation capabilities of the whole society with scientific and technological innovation as the core and consolidate the city's advantages and position in the new development pattern, after in-depth research and analysis, and on the basis of fully drawing on the experience and practices of domestic advanced cities, we have extensively solicited various opinions Suggestions, combined with the actual situation of our city, formed the "Implementation Opinions" and "Several Policies".
The "Implementation Opinions" focus on innovation-driven high-quality development, clarify the guiding ideology and basic principles, and propose that by the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the main indicators will be first-class, the innovation elements will be doubled, the innovation ecosystem will be fully constructed, and The goal is to set a new benchmark for the intelligent manufacturing industry in four aspects, and focus on the goals of strengthening corporate innovation entities, creating high-end technological innovation platforms, building innovation and entrepreneurship incubation carriers, attracting innovative and entrepreneurial talents, strengthening the construction of vocational colleges and universities, and promoting the integration of industrial chain innovation chains. Thirty key tasks have been deployed in eight aspects, including optimizing the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem and promoting reform to release innovation vitality. "Several Policies" aims at the pain points, blockages, and difficulties that restrict the city's innovation and development, and puts forward 20 policies from seven aspects: talent introduction, financial security, enterprise cultivation, industrial chain innovation, carrier construction, school innovation, and atmosphere creation. policy measures to promote innovation and breakthroughs in the whole society with precise implementation.
The "Implementation Opinions" and "Several Policies" present the following four characteristics:
Clear goal positioning and unprecedented investment in innovation. The "Implementation Opinions" clearly focus on the development positioning of "an international smart manufacturing city and the central axis hub of the Yangtze River Delta" to create an industrial science and technology innovation center with distinctive characteristics in the Yangtze River Delta. It clarifies the total amount, quality, growth, growth rate, and factors of innovation. The 35 subdivided indicators "Several Policies" provide targeted supporting policies for each subdivided indicator to form a synergy of policies and effectively promote various tasks. In order to ensure the effective realization of the goals and tasks, the "Implementation Opinions" proposed the overall scale of the city's innovation investment during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, that is, the city will set up 40 billion yuan in science and technology innovation funds, driving the entire society's innovation investment to reach 200 billion yuan. With strong investment guarantee, "Several Policies" focuses on further detailing and improving policy support.
Closely follow the actual needs and solve the pain points and difficulties. This innovation policy is based on extensive solicitation of opinions from all parties, and an in-depth analysis of the pain points, blockages, and difficulties existing in our city's innovation, and strives to find the key points, focuses, and hot spots that talents, enterprises, and industries are concerned about, and to find accurate measures to target the crux of the problem. direction and take concrete measures. For example, in terms of talent introduction and education, around the issues of living and housing costs that young talents are concerned about, the income issues that high-level talents are concerned about, and the issues of schooling, medical care, and housing that are of common concern, we have set up a classification system for newly introduced talents with an annual salary of more than 300,000 yuan. to provide high-quality and accurate services; to provide all-round comprehensive subsidies of "dual subsidy for living and residence" to young talents; to carry out "preferential housing for talents" The project includes the planning and construction of a "Youth Station" with free accommodation for up to 3 months in the talent apartment.
Strengthen goal orientation and make policies pragmatic and innovative. Under the guidance of the target planning of the "Implementation Opinions", the "Several Policies" adopt targeted supply to achieve the goals, based on Changzhou's reality, benchmarking against advanced cities, enhancing policy intensity and enhancing attractiveness. For example, in terms of industrial chain innovation, the concept of "saturated" investment is proposed for the goal of forging the long board of the industrial chain. The municipal level selects 2-3 industrial chains and cooperates with leading enterprises, jurisdictions, and Changzhou Economic Development Zone. ***We also use incentives, direct investment, funds and other means of support to achieve practical results; for example, in terms of innovation carrier construction, we will increase the renovation and utilization of idle factories and complexes, and focus on guiding the use of existing buildings with good living facilities. A fully functional mass entrepreneurship and innovation carrier, and a guidance subsidy of up to 10 million yuan will be provided based on the results.
Focus on incentives and leadership around performance rewards and subsidies. The 11th Plenary Session of the 12th Municipal Party Committee made it clear that innovation support policies should shift from "post-subsidy" to "pre-incentive".
In the process of policy formulation, attention is paid to grasping this requirement from the full chain and full cycle development of innovation. In the basic research stage of the industrial chain, the "borrow to subsidy" method is used to provide early stage support for R&D in stages. Depending on the effectiveness of the project, the borrowed money can be turned into subsidies or subsidies. Take back; in the stage of transformation of scientific and technological innovation achievements, focus on supporting the industrialization of the city and the first domestic large-scale production and application projects, with support of up to 10 million yuan; in the stage of enterprise upgrading, focus on supporting small and medium-sized technological enterprises, high-tech Technology companies continue to increase investment in research and development, and provide incentives of up to 10% of the increase in research and development expenses in different grades. In addition, this innovation policy focuses on the increment of innovation and rewards and subsidies based on the incremental contribution of enterprises to the local area.
