Scientific and technological innovation is the key support to promote high-quality economic development.
The 14th five year plan and the outline of long-term goals for 2035 put forward that we should adhere to the core position of innovation in the overall situation of China's modernization drive, take self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology as the strategic support for national development, face the forefront of world science and technology, the main economic battlefield, major national needs and people's life and health, and deeply implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the country with talents Innovation driven development strategy, improve the national innovation system, and accelerate the construction of a strong country in science and technology.
The reporter learned from the press conference of the State Information Office held on February 25 that in the past year, the R & D investment of the whole society reached 2.79 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14.2%, the R & D investment intensity reached 2.44%, the comprehensive ranking of national innovation ability rose to the 12th in the world, and successfully achieved a good start in the 14th five year plan.
Wang Zhigang, Minister of science and technology, said: "in 2021, we will adhere to the 'four orientations' and strengthen the deployment of R & D, strengthen the whole chain deployment of innovative activities such as basic research, technological innovation, achievement transformation and industrialization, so as to enhance the endogenous driving force of economic and social development."
-- facing the world's cutting-edge science and technology, we supported the exploration of basic science and cutting-edge technology, and a number of original and major achievements emerged. For example, "Zuchongzhi 2" and "Jiuzhang 2" realize quantum superiority. "Tianwen-1" launched a trip to Mars, "Xihe" achieved a breakthrough in solar exploration, and "shenzhou-13" successfully docked with the "Tianhe" core module. "Haidou-1" successfully achieved 10000 meter diving and completed scientific research application.
-- facing the main battlefield of the economy, we should deploy the innovation chain around the industrial chain, lay out the industrial chain around the innovation chain, and constantly expand and develop new driving forces. Major science and technology projects strongly support the development of strategic industries such as mobile communications, new energy and high-end equipment. AI technology deeply enables the intelligent upgrading of manufacturing, logistics, transportation and other industries; The integrated application of 5g, big data, blockchain and other technologies has made significant contributions to promoting the vigorous development of digital economy; The "deep sea 1" production and storage platform was officially put into operation, supporting China's offshore oil and gas resource development capacity to enter the world's advanced level. Scientific and technological innovation and entrepreneurship have been promoted in depth. The three international scientific and technological innovation centers in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, have ranked among the top 10 global scientific and technological innovation clusters.
-- face the major national needs, adhere to the goal orientation, strengthen the overall design of R & D tasks, take science and technology as the logical starting point and core elements, and provide key solutions around the major national needs. Support food security and rural revitalization, focus on land and seeds, strengthen research and development, demonstration and promotion of new crop varieties, and the contribution rate of improved varieties to increase production reached 45%. The demonstration project of high temperature gas cooled reactor nuclear power plant was successfully connected to the grid for the first time, and the application and promotion of technologies such as joint prevention and control of air pollution were accelerated. In terms of supporting the high-level hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics, we implemented the "action plan for scientific and technological Winter Olympics", achieved a large number of innovative achievements around the key scenes of the Winter Olympics, and contributed scientific and technological forces and elements to the success of the Beijing Winter Olympics. The leading and driving role of regional innovation has been continuously strengthened, effectively serving the implementation of the national regional development strategy, and the high-quality development Beijing Dynamic Power Co.Ltd(600405) role has become more prominent.
-- face the people's life and health, adhere to the people first and life first, and take enhancing the health and well-being of the people as an important guide for scientific and technological research and development. Support the epidemic prevention and control, make the detection methods more rapid, convenient and accurate, make breakthroughs in drug research and development, actively adapt to the new changes of the epidemic and virus, and constantly verify its effectiveness and safety in practice. Accelerate the research and development of drugs and medical devices. Through the implementation of major new drug creation projects, China has approved 75 new drugs of class I new drugs from 5 before 2008. A number of domestic high-end medical devices represented by positron magnetic resonance scanning system (PET / MR) have been put into use.
Wang Zhigang also introduced that at present, 76% of China's R & D investment in the whole society is invested by enterprises. Enterprises are also the main body of R & D investment, the main body of project organization and the main body of transformation of scientific and technological achievements. "The Ministry of science and technology will strengthen the status of enterprises as the main body of technological innovation and further strengthen the participation and voice of enterprises in project formation, project investment, project organization and project evaluation."
"Innovation regardless of origin, whether state-owned or private enterprises, we all treat innovation equally, with the same fairness of opportunity, rules and rights." Wang Zhigang stressed.
Looking forward to 2022, he pointed out that the Ministry of science and technology will focus on the solid implementation of science and technology policies, focus on the implementation of the three-year plan for the reform of the science and technology system, focus on strengthening the construction of national strategic scientific and technological forces, strengthen basic research and strategic high-tech research and development, highlight the dominant position of enterprise innovation, and focus on the construction of scientific and technological talents, We will strive to optimize the ecology of scientific and technological innovation, improve the level of scientific and technological opening-up and cooperation, and support and lead high-quality economic development.
