“At the end of 2021, the team and the bidding company signed a cooperation agreement on the new ‘lvjiahei’ pig.” In mid January, Qi Keke, an associate researcher of Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, told reporters that after 61 rounds of bidding, the technology transfer of this local self cultivated high-quality black pig was sold for 30 million yuan.
It is worth mentioning that Qi Keke didn’t know the identity of the buyer until the end of the auction. “Looking at the rapid and continuous rise of the bidding amount of the items on the screen, I deeply appreciate the value of the technical achievements.”
For a long time, the complex transformation process and difficult policy implementation have led to a large number of scientific research achievements being shelved. The 2022 National Science and technology work conference mentioned that we should focus on accelerating the tackling of key scientific and technological problems and the application of achievements.
Since last year, Zhejiang Province, as a “national demonstration area for the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements”, has formulated and implemented the action plan for promoting the reform of market-oriented allocation of technological elements in Zhejiang Province with digital reform as a breakthrough, creating China’s Zhejiang Online technology market version 3.0 (hereinafter referred to as technology market 3.0) that organically consists of a “window” and a “scientific and technological brain” of scientific and technological achievements

“Technology market 3.0 integrates technology, talents, management and other elements to ‘untie’ the asset evaluation of scientific and technological achievements and activate the ‘spring water of a river’ of scientific and technological innovation in our province.” The person in charge of the science and Technology Department of Zhejiang Province said.
Recently, in the pilot plan for the evaluation and reform of scientific and technological achievements jointly issued by the Ministry of science and technology and other ten ministries and commissions, Zhejiang is listed as one of the four comprehensive pilot provinces, which will continue to promote the reform of market-oriented evaluation of scientific and technological achievements and create a good innovation ecology.
adhere to market-oriented results auction and release vitality online
Log in to the technology market 3.0 account, describe the technical needs, and the platform accurately recommends the corresponding achievements. Users can bid online within the specified time… In October last year, the technology market 3.0 was put into trial operation, and new functions similar to online auction were launched. Many achievements were sold at a premium repeatedly in the bidding.
As early as 2002, Zhejiang took the lead in establishing Zhejiang Online technology market in China, and then upgraded it to version 2.0 of Wuxi Online Offline Communication Information Technology Co.Ltd(300959) to explore the result trading mode of “Zhejiang Pai”. However, in the process of practice, the provincial science and technology department found that offline auction has some limitations in the registration of bidding enterprises and the evaluation of achievement value, and the market openness needs to be further improved.
The newly revised law of the people’s Republic of China on scientific and technological progress clearly guides the establishment of a socialized, professional, networked, information-based and intelligent technology trading service system to promote the application and promotion of scientific and technological achievements.
The iterative technology market 3.0 reshapes the “Zhejiang auction” mechanism, which can support three market-oriented pricing methods: agreement pricing, listing trading and competitive auction at the same time, so as to make the result pricing more professional.
“Technology market 3.0 has built a functional module with the trading hall as the core and five halls such as achievements and needs as the auxiliary.” Jin Cong, the person in charge of the achievement Department of Zhejiang Provincial Department of science and technology, introduced that the trading hall will electronically reengineer the whole process of multi-agent, multi link and Wuxi Online Offline Communication Information Technology Co.Ltd(300959) discrete technology trading, define trading rules with software, realize reliable traceability with data, and deposit all trading behaviors with blockchain.
Since the launch and trial operation, the technology market 3.0 has gathered 14177 scientific and technological achievements, 2499 enterprise needs, 259 settled institutions, and realized a technology transaction volume of 42.2 million yuan.
encourage both R & D and income generation to do a good job in the transformation of “addition and subtraction method”
100 million yuan! This is the cost for the scientific research team of Zhejiang University to reach a technology transfer with an enterprise in Guangzhou by virtue of the “hu7691 compound project and related patents”. Similar cases are not rare in Zhejiang.
For a long time, the achievements formed by R & D and innovation in Colleges and universities and scientific research institutes belong to state-owned assets. The lack of incentives for the property rights of job-related scientific and technological achievements, many hidden constraints in the transformation process and long working process make researchers feel “tired”. Wang Hua, head of the regulation department of the science and Technology Department of Zhejiang Province, said that the achievement evaluation and right confirmation issues of particular concern to researchers in Zhejiang Province were solved through policy unbundling and technology empowerment.
In 2017, Zhejiang Province revised the regulations on the transformation of scientific and technological achievements to clearly support the reform of division and ownership of post scientific and technological achievements; In 2020, a number of colleges and universities in Zhejiang were listed by the Ministry of science and technology as pilot units for the reform of giving researchers the title or long-term use right of scientific and technological achievements; In 2021, Zhejiang issued the implementation opinions on strengthening the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in Colleges and Universities
The implementation of policies is inseparable from technical cooperation. The transformation of job achievements involves the examination and approval of finance, state-owned assets, education, audit and other departments, and all links must be rigorous, correct, compliant and legal.
In November last year, the technology market 3.0 launched the reform and governance scenario of “online transformation of job achievements”, established a management system and supervision mechanism for tracing the whole process, realized multi cross collaboration with the result transaction approval process of pilot colleges and universities, and promoted the simplification of school approval from five departments to two departments, reducing the average time from 58 days to 31 days.
“The digital reform and the transformation and integration of job-related scientific and technological achievements complement each other, which will enable more promising researchers to earn both fame and wealth.” According to the relevant person in charge of the Department of science and technology of Zhejiang Province, in the past three years, Zhejiang researchers have received 20508 person times of converted cash and equity income, 780 million yuan of cash and equity income, with an average annual growth of 33%.
intellectual property pledge “digital assets” to solve the urgent financing
In August 2021, the guidance on improving the evaluation mechanism of scientific and technological achievements issued by the general office of the State Council clearly proposed to give full play to the role of financial investment in the evaluation of scientific and technological achievements. We will promote the intellectual value credit loan model and expand the scale of intellectual property pledge financing.
In September of the same year, “Zhejiang intellectual property blockchain public deposit platform” was launched, and Zhejiang Fanju Technology Co., Ltd. obtained a loan amount of 1 million through data intellectual property pledge.
“After the pledge of intellectual property rights, it is transformed into quantifiable digital assets, which releases the internal value of technology, can effectively solve the problems of high financing cost and few channels of scientific and technological small and medium-sized enterprises, and promote the sound development of enterprises.” Wang Hua said.
In recent years, in combination with the digital reform, Zhejiang has unblocked the channels of intellectual property capitalization, played the leading role of venture capital in the value discovery of technological elements, and provided full life-cycle scientific and technological financial services for scientific and technological innovation. In the first November of last year, the pledge amount of intellectual property in the province was 96.35 billion yuan, including 71.98 billion yuan of patent pledge financing, ranking first in China.
“In the reform of financial investment evaluation, we will deepen the intellectual property credit loan model.” Jin Cong introduced, for example, to carry out pilot projects of technological property securitization and loan risk compensation for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, support banking institutions to carry out intellectual pledge financing business, and strive to form a number of replicable pilot experience of intellectual property securitization.
