Jiangsu: With the "five breakthroughs and five upgrades" to promote the solid implementation of science and technology policies

Purple Mountain Laboratory was included in the national laboratory sequence, and built the world's first 360-430GHz terahertz 100Gbps real-time wireless transmission communication test system; the "Deep Time Digital Earth" international big science plan was officially launched, becoming one of the first two international big science plans in China; exploring new research mechanisms, taking the lead in implementing the new mechanism of "unveiling the leader", and making phased breakthroughs in a number of key emergency major tasks; Huai'an and Suqian were approved as national innovative cities. It is the first in the country to achieve full coverage of the national innovative cities in districted cities... On January 12, at the 2022 Jiangsu Science and Technology Work Conference held in Nanjing, Wang Qin, secretary of the party group and director of the Jiangsu Provincial Science and Technology Department, took stock of these key breakthroughs and landmark achievements, outlining Jiangsu's achievements in launching new major platforms, exploring new research mechanisms, and supporting new reform and exploration at the grassroots level in 2021.

Turning over the picture of scientific and technological innovation in Jiangsu in 2021, the vitality of innovation is surging: in Kunshan City, Suzhou, the proportion of R&D expenditure in the whole society has increased to 3.9%, 396 projects have been "unveiled", driving enterprises to invest 8.4 billion yuan; in the Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute, in the form of "combination of allocation and investment", a number of high-growth technology companies have been cultivated in the fields of third-generation semiconductor key materials and production equipment, high-performance network chips, and cancer targeted drugs; in Wuxi High-tech Zone, a number of high-growth technology companies have been developed from design, manufacturing, The full-chain integrated circuit industry cluster that is sealed and tested to support the whole chain has been approved as the first in the province and the only national integrated circuit manufacturing innovation center, and 5 newly cultivated integrated circuit listed enterprises are expected to exceed 110 billion yuan in 2021, accounting for about one-ninth of the country...

Forge ahead and forge ahead. Wang Qin said that in 2022, Jiangsu should strengthen basic research and original innovation, and make up its mind to solve the problem of insufficient investment; it is necessary to promote the in-depth integration of science and education with industry, strengthen the forward-looking layout, and concentrate on the most basic and advantageous areas; it is necessary to comprehensively promote independent innovation and open innovation, and continuously enhance Jiangsu's status and influence in the global innovation pattern; to better play the role of effective market and promising government, and to improve the overall efficiency of innovation.

The recent Central Economic Work Conference stressed that science and technology policies should be implemented in a down-to-earth manner. Wang Qin stressed that the main line of work of Jiangsu's science and technology system in 2022 is to grasp the implementation and focus on strengthening the ten aspects of "five breakthroughs and five upgrades".

The "five breakthroughs" refer to the efforts to make greater breakthroughs in five key areas, such as the cultivation of national strategic scientific and technological forces, basic research and original innovation, scientific and technological support for carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, the construction of scientific and technological talent teams, and the implementation of scientific and technological policies and reform measures. The reporter noted that in this "road map", there are key technical problems such as accelerating the construction of nano-vacuum interconnection comprehensive experimental devices, crop phenomics research facilities, and information high-speed rail comprehensive experimental devices, and then laying out and building a number of new major pre-research projects; there are key technical problems such as promoting the joint implementation of high-efficiency and low-cost solar energy, high-efficiency and low-cost crystalline silicon cells, solar hydrogen production and solar carbon conversion, and green and low-carbon manufacturing processes for steel; there are further deepening the pilot reform of property rights of job scientific and technological achievements. Explore the pilot work of the achievement transformation platform of state-owned assets holdings, fully implement the reform of scientific research projects and fund management, explore the establishment of a pilot project of "package dry system" of funds, and formulate a negative list.

"Five upgrades" refers to accelerating the promotion of industrial technological innovation capabilities, enterprise technological innovation capabilities, regional collaborative innovation capabilities, scientific and technological resource allocation capabilities, and scientific and technological service people's livelihood capabilities.

"We must strengthen systematic thinking, promote the integrated allocation of projects, bases, funds and talents, realize a virtuous cycle of science and technology, industry and finance, and promote the deep integration of innovation chain, industrial chain and value chain." Wang Qin said. (Jin Feng)
