Layout the talent chain around the industrial chain and innovation chain
On December 8, Dongguan innovation drive center (hereinafter referred to as Dongguan drive center) for leading scientific and technological talents in Dawan District, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao was launched. At the end of November this year, the Ministry of science and technology approved the construction demonstration of Dongguan innovation drive center for science and technology leading talents in Dawan District, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and agreed to build the first talent drive center in Dawan District in Dongguan.
Dongguan drive center is a talent gathering service platform jointly built by the talent center of the Ministry of science and technology and Dongguan City. It aims to build a service platform for national leading talents, colleges and universities to cooperate closely with Dongguan enterprises around the industrial chain, strengthen the innovation chain and build a talent chain, accelerate the transfer, transformation, sharing and exchange of scientific and technological achievements in Dongguan, and effectively solve the technical problems and development needs of enterprises.
Talent is closely related to science and technology. In order to better attract, retain and make good use of talents, Dongguan Science and Technology Bureau focuses on the construction task of a new round of “one million” talent project, puts the introduction and cultivation of scientific and technological talents in an important position, and is planning to launch a series of policies and measures.
“We will lay out the talent chain around the industrial chain and innovation chain, establish a whole chain talent introduction and education system, and introduce different scientific and technological talent policies according to the innovation chain and talent cultivation and development stages, including the introduction of strategic scientist team policy focusing on source innovation, the support of scientific and technological talent entrepreneurship policy focusing on achievement transformation, and the research focusing on the cultivation of reserve R & D talents The policy of joint training (practice) of students focuses on the construction and development of provincial engineering technology research and development centers and key laboratories to build a team of scientific and technological talents with strong innovation ability. ” Zhuo Qing, director of Dongguan Science and Technology Bureau, has a clear idea.

Within 3 years, 40 graduate workstations have been established, and 1500 graduate students have been jointly trained (practiced) in Dongguan.
“In 2018, I returned to Dongguan to participate in the construction of Dongguan Songshan Lake laboratory. The main reason why I came to Dongguan is that I think the scientific and technological development prospect here is very good and the government’s support for scientific research is very strong.” Zhao Jinkui, a researcher at the Institute of physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and chief scientist of Songshan Lake materials laboratory, said he believed that Dongguan Songshan Lake will not only be the geographical center of Dawan District, but also become the scientific and technological innovation center of Dawan District in the future.
