On March 25, China Academy of science and technology development strategy, Guangzhou Productivity Promotion Center and Guangzhou Science and Technology Development Research Center jointly released the report on Guangzhou urban innovation index (2021) (hereinafter referred to as the report). The report establishes the evaluation system of Guangzhou Innovation Index from four primary indicators: innovation resources, enterprise innovation, innovation performance and innovation environment. The calculation results show that from 2010 to 2020, Guangzhou's innovation index increased by 11.67% annually, reflecting the continuous improvement of Guangzhou's innovation and development level, the overall rapid development trend of scientific and technological innovation, and the development goal of the 13th five year plan was achieved.
On the same day, Guangzhou Institute of innovation strategy released two research reports, namely, Guangzhou biomedical industry innovation and development report (2020) and Research on the function and role of scientific research institutions in Guangzhou's regional innovation system.
innovation resources continue to gather
Innovation resources reflect the regional investment in innovation activities, the reserve of innovation talent resources and the investment structure of innovation resources.
In 2020, the investment in scientific and technological innovation in Guangzhou continued to increase, the total R & D expenditure of the whole society increased by 14.332% over the previous year, and the R & D investment intensity exceeded 3% for the first time, reaching 3.1%; The proportion of local financial science and technology in the general public budget expenditure is 7.59%.
"As a city with the largest economy in the country all year round, Guangzhou's R & D investment intensity has increased year by year. On the one hand, it reflects Guangzhou's attention to scientific and technological innovation ability, and also plays a leading and exemplary role in the innovation and development of various regions; on the other hand, it is also conducive to promoting the economic transformation and upgrading of Guangzhou and realizing high-quality economic development." Said Xuan Zhaohui, director of the Institute of technology prediction and statistical analysis of the Chinese Academy of science and technology development strategy.
At present, Guangzhou is striving to build an important strategic fulcrum of high-level talents in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Dawan district. In recent years, Guangzhou has built a competitive talent system through the accurate and effective implementation of talent projects such as industrial leading talents, high-level talents, doctors and postdoctors. The report shows that the construction of Guangzhou's innovative talent team has achieved remarkable results. In 2020, the number of R & D researchers per 10000 employees was 138.51, an increase of 4.75 over the previous year; The number of professional and technical talents with senior titles reached 230000, and the introduction and cultivation of innovative and entrepreneurial talents, teams and professional and technical talents were further strengthened.
At the same time, science popularization in Guangzhou has developed rapidly, and the per capita science popularization funds in 2020 have doubled over the previous year, providing a firm guarantee for the smooth implementation of science popularization activities and the improvement of people's scientific knowledge and scientific literacy.
enterprise's dominant position in innovation continues to grow
After 8 years, Medprin Regenerative Medical Technologies Co.Ltd(301033) (hereinafter referred to as Medprin Regenerative Medical Technologies Co.Ltd(301033) ) broke through many technical barriers and developed the first domestic absorbable regenerated oxidized cellulose, which has entered clinical use internationally and entered nearly 20 countries and regions around the world.
In Guangzhou, adhering to innovation has become an enterprise consensus represented by Medprin Regenerative Medical Technologies Co.Ltd(301033) as the representative. This is also reflected in the report. On the one hand, the score of enterprise independent intellectual property index continues to lead among the five indicators of enterprise innovation, of which the number of enterprise patents increased by 17.54% over the previous year, reaching 92100; The number of registered trademarks owned by enterprises increased by 21.04% over the previous year, reaching 1514100. On the other hand, enterprises have paid more attention to R & D. 65 Industrial Enterprises above Designated Size have been added with R & D institutions, and R & D institutions of large industrial enterprises with more than 500 million yuan have been fully covered.
The report pointed out that in 2020, Guangzhou actively promoted the implementation of policies such as the addition and deduction of enterprise R & D expenses, effectively promoted enterprise innovation activities and the output of scientific and technological achievements, played a positive role in promoting enterprise independent innovation and product innovation, and supported the innovation driven development of the whole city.
In addition, the added value of Guangzhou's high-tech manufacturing industry has made rapid progress, reaching 71.541 billion yuan, directly crossing the 60 billion mark, with a year-on-year increase of 20.67%, accounting for 15.74% of the added value of Industrial Enterprises above Designated Size, an increase of 2.03 percentage points over the previous year, indicating that Guangzhou actively promotes the rapid growth of high-tech manufacturing industry clusters and optimizes the industrial ecology in the future.
innovation performance enhances the ability to support economic and social development
Innovation performance is the first-class index with the highest score in Guangzhou's urban innovation index in 2020. There are many bright spots in terms of technology market transaction contract amount, labor productivity and patent output per 10000 employees.
The technology market has become more active, and the leading edge in the index score of contract amount per 10000 employees in the technology market has been further expanded. In 2020, the contract value of Guangzhou technology market reached 225653 billion yuan, a significant increase of 77.11% over the previous year. Intensive policies and measures for achievement transformation were introduced, and the vitality of technology transfer and transformation was significantly enhanced. Among them, Guangzhou Productivity Promotion Center promotes the online business handling of the whole process of technology contract registration, and jointly holds a series of high-end production and research docking activities with scientific research institutes and industry-leading enterprises to promote the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements and innovative products in Guangzhou. Promote the construction of scientific and technological achievements transformation bases around Huagong, CUHK and university town.
The efficiency of patent output was further released. In 2020, the number of invention patents authorized in Guangzhou exceeded 15000, with a year-on-year increase of 23.36%, and the number of PCT patent applications was 1785.
In terms of innovation environment, Guangzhou has promoted the transformation of science and technology management to innovation governance, the reform of science and technology system and mechanism has entered a fast lane, and the innovation policy system has been improved day by day.
