The Central Economic Work Conference proposed to promote the integrated development of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, and identified "leading the development of new quality productive forces with scientific and technological innovation and building a modern industrial system" as one of the nine key tasks to be achieved by 2025. This fully reflects the Party Central Committee's high emphasis on technological innovation, clarifying the strategic leading position and fundamental supporting role of science and technology. Chinese path to modernization depends on the modernization of science and technology, and high-quality development depends on scientific and technological innovation to cultivate new momentum. Challenges and opportunities coexist. Only by closely integrating technological innovation with industrial demand can it truly be transformed into economic benefits and national competitiveness, "said Professor Ma Tao, Dean of the School of Business at Harbin Institute of Technology. In the context of the global economic downturn, deepening the integration and development of technological innovation and industrial innovation can enhance the independent and controllable capabilities of local industrial chains, expand the export of high-quality products and services, enhance China's competitiveness in the global industrial division of labor, help China maintain a high-level advantage in opening up to the outside world in a complex international environment, and climb up the global value chain. Some universities and local governments have started exploring and practicing integrated development. Harbin Institute of Technology Chongqing Research Institute is a new research and development institution jointly established by Harbin Institute of Technology and Liangjiang New Area in Chongqing. The research institute adheres to the principle of equal emphasis on scientific research and industrialization, and has gathered 15 scientific research teams to assist in the optimization of local industrial structure and industrial transformation and upgrading through the transformation of scientific research achievements. For example, in response to the development needs of the low altitude economy industry and the difficulties in the application of hydrogen fuel cells, unmanned aerial vehicles with a maximum endurance of 9 hours and a maximum payload of 7000 grams have been developed. The endurance time can reach 3 to 4 times that of lithium battery unmanned aerial vehicles of the same level, which has advantages in scenarios such as power transmission lines and oil pipeline inspections. At present, the Mingyue Lake Lilac Science and Technology Innovation Park, established based on the research institute, has incubated about 100 technology-based enterprises with an annual output value of over 100 million yuan. Chen Qiang, a professor at the School of Economics and Management of Tongji University and executive director of the Shanghai Industrial Innovation Ecosystem Research Center, believes that there are several trends worth paying attention to: firstly, from scientific discoveries to technological breakthroughs, and then to the emergence of new products and formats, which in turn give birth to new industries, the speed is gradually accelerating and the cycle is significantly shortened; The second is the rapid iteration of scientific research paradigms, research organizational forms, and technological breakthrough models, and the increasingly diverse ways in which technological progress affects industrial transformation; Thirdly, the "zeroing effect" of disruptive innovation is accelerating, and its impact on industrial security is increasing day by day; Fourthly, the focus of competition in technology and industry is gradually shifting to the front-end, and the systematic and ecological characteristics of competition are becoming increasingly evident. Behind these trends, challenges and opportunities coexist, highlighting the importance and necessity of integrating technological innovation with industrial innovation. It is necessary to comprehensively analyze and identify the bottlenecks and difficulties that exist, find the breakthrough point for institutional and mechanism reform, and implement comprehensive policies Chen Qiang said. What are the bottlenecks and difficulties that urgently need to be overcome in the integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation development? Chen Qiang believes that the current channels for communication and interaction between the two are not smooth enough, and the connection between scientific and technological activities and market demand is not tight enough; The material and technological foundation for promoting the integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation urgently needs to be consolidated; The working mechanism linking technological innovation and industrial innovation is not sound enough. For example, as the "linker" between technology supply and market demand, and the "initiator" of industrial innovation activities, enterprises have not fully played their role as innovation entities. The scenarios for the integration and development of technological innovation and industrial innovation are not rich enough, and the effect of stimulating the enthusiasm of scientific and technological personnel through the scenario based application of new technologies is not yet obvious. Technological innovation often comes from basic research in university laboratories, which deviates from the needs of industrial innovation and development. Technological innovation is difficult to directly connect with industrial innovation needs and needs to be transformed into driving force for industrial innovation development through concept validation and pilot testing. Talent and funding are also the difficulties in the integrated development of technological innovation and industrial innovation Wang Fei, Vice General Manager of Qidi Star, believes that after overcoming obstacles and difficulties, the integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation can enhance the competitiveness of enterprise development, continuously respond to market changes and meet the needs of technological iteration, and better promote the development of the industrial chain. In Anyang City, Henan Province, the "dual center" model of "research and development in Beijing and Tianjin, and intelligent manufacturing in Anyang" is a major highlight of Anyang's achievement transformation. Since its establishment in 2022, the Qidi (Anyang) Science and Technology Innovation Center in Anyang has been responsible for collecting innovation needs from enterprises, universities, and institutions in Anyang, while the Anyang (Beijing) Offshore Innovation Center in Beijing is responsible for promoting innovation achievements. Wang Fei introduced that over the past two years since the operation of the "two centers", they have established contacts with more than 20 universities and institutes, including Tsinghua University, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They have included thousands of scientific and technological achievements in industrial development, released more than 550 technology needs of enterprises in Anyang, held more than 300 technology docking activities, and promoted a series of industry university research cooperation. Building a benign interactive development pattern "The deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation is a systematic engineering involving multiple subjects, fields, and links." Ma Tao believes that comprehensive measures should be taken from strategic planning, institutional construction, resource allocation, and collaborative mechanisms to construct a development pattern of benign interaction between technological innovation and industrial innovation. Ma Tao suggested strengthening top-level design and improving the policy support system; Deepen the cooperation between industry, academia and research, explore the mechanism of integration and innovation; Accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and improve market-oriented standards; Promote cluster innovation and stimulate the role of enterprise entities. For example, at the national level, a special plan for integrated development can be formulated, clarifying the key areas and key links of the integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, focusing on strategic emerging industries such as advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and new energy, issuing targeted guidance and implementation plans, and improving the efficiency of innovation resource utilization. For example, using the "big talent concept" to construct a "dual employment" system for scientific researchers to promote the two-way flow of talents, taking the southeast coastal areas with abundant educational resources and dense high-tech industries as pilot areas, allowing scientific researchers to participate in enterprise research and development activities in part-time, consulting and other forms, encouraging enterprise technical backbones to participate in university research projects, breaking down institutional barriers, and promoting the integrated development of education, science and technology talents. Some of China's technological and industrial innovation highlands have taken big strides in the integration of development systems and mechanisms. For example, in terms of institutional reform, the Yangtze River Delta region has established the Yangtze River Delta Science and Technology Innovation Community Construction Office, formulated and implemented the "Action Plan for Building the Yangtze River Delta Science and Technology Innovation Community", and promoted cross regional collaboration between science and technology innovation and industrial innovation. In terms of strengthening the empowerment mechanism, we will deepen the "Two Hearts and One Creation" of the comprehensive national science centers in Zhangjiang and Hefei, and help cultivate new quality productivity in the region; Launch the joint research and development plan of the Yangtze River Delta Science and Technology Innovation Community, and promote cross regional joint linkage of scientific research tasks, funding, and management for industrial innovation through project layout and organizational methods such as cross regional "unveiling and leading". Currently, the regional empowerment effects of the Yangtze River Delta Science and Technology Resource Sharing Service Platform and the Yangtze River Delta Science and Technology Innovation Voucher are beginning to emerge; The joint construction of the Yangtze River Delta new energy vehicle industry chain system by three provinces and one city has accounted for 40% of the national new energy vehicle production capacity; In the 2024 Global Innovation Index (GII) Global Top 100 Technology Clusters ranking, the Shanghai Suzhou cluster and the Nanjing cluster rank fifth and ninth respectively.
