This afternoon, the theme activity of "Gathering Science and Technology Innovation and Wisdom Convergence for the Future" - Jointly Building the Baoshan Science and Technology Innovation Ecosystem was held at the No. 1 Base of Huanshang Science and Technology Park.
In the past year, Baoshan has successively built a number of new platforms and new carriers to prepare for seizing new tracks and cultivating incubation hard technologies. Up to now, 32 enterprises have landed in the Huanshang University Science and Technology Park, 33 projects for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and 70 projects to be transformed in Shanghai University. There are also a number of major projects focusing on core technology research that have also signed a contract to enter the Huanshang Science and Technology Park today.
Aiming closely at the "transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements", at present, Baoshan is continuing to optimize the science and technology innovation ecology, accelerate the gathering of more innovative resources, and inject vigorous impetus into the "northern transformation".
"Taobao" in the field of scientific research achievement transformation
At the scene of the event, an online platform called "Kechuangbao" attracted everyone's attention, and the person in charge vividly called it "Taobao" in the field of transformation of scientific research achievements. Its appearance is intended to connect the "laboratory" and the "production line" in a more efficient and convenient way.
In reality, a large number of innovative achievements have been "lying" in the laboratory for a long time. The reason is that there are difficulties in matching scientific research with market supply and demand. On the one hand, there are university researchers sitting on the results, and on the other hand, there are market players looking for source innovators, and the two sides are just "bumping into opportunities" in the vast sea of people.
The birth of Kechuangbao is to strive to solve this problem by digital means. After logging on to the platform, as long as university researchers use keyword search, they can directly connect to the demand database in Shanghai and even the whole country. After the registration and release of enterprise users, the platform will provide comprehensive services for enterprises through five modules, such as technology market, activity resources, talent development, scientific and technological evaluation, and policy matching. Through accurate algorithms, both sides will match appropriate technical achievements, innovation needs, applicable policies, etc., greatly improving the efficiency of information matching and promoting the docking and transformation of results.
With new tools in hand, Baoshan will also take this opportunity to cultivate a group of new talents - technology transfer brokers, whose job is to provide more accurate docking services for scientific researchers and market players through "Science and Technology Innovation Treasure". This industry has developed relatively maturely in foreign countries, and it has just started in China. Some scholars believe that at present, these technology transfer brokers who are deeply rooted in the professional field are very much needed in China, and they are like "translators" in the field of scientific and technological innovation, saying that the "big vernacular" that both the supply and demand sides can understand, and promoting the transformation and transaction of achievements.
Scientists and industry leaders form the "strongest think tank"
The development of the science and technology innovation ecosystem is inseparable from a key carrier - the university science and technology park. At present, the university science and technology park cluster of "one nuclear and one belt" in Baoshan has been initially formed.
How to understand "one nuclear and one belt"? The relevant person in charge explained that Shangda Road - Wenhai Road - Fengxiang Road has formed a "Ring Science and Technology Innovation Core" with the Ring Science and Technology Park as the core. Along Yixian Road - Tongji Road, Shanghai Peking University Science and Technology Park, Baoshan Fudan Science and Technology Innovation Center, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology Science and Technology Park, Shanghai Second Polytechnic University Science and Technology Park are laid out, and the "Transformation Belt of University Scientific and Technological Achievements" is jointly strung together.
At the scene of the event, the members of the "one nuclear and one belt" announced the formation of the Baoshan Science and Technology Innovation Main Front University Science and Technology Park Alliance. In the future, relying on the "circle of friends" of universities, Baoshan will further improve the incubation system of university science and technology parks, give full play to the platform advantages of policy innovation, mechanism innovation and resource aggregation of university science and technology parks, give play to the role of bridges and radiation leaders of the university science and technology park alliance, and inject new impetus into the ecological construction of scientific and technological innovation.
Scientific and technological innovation should also attract and gather a group of top talents. Today, the "strongest think tank" for the construction of the main position of the Baoshan Science and Technology Innovation Center, which is composed of scientists and industry leaders, has also been announced. Liu Changsheng, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and president of Shanghai University, Zhao Dongyuan and Deng Zixin, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wu Minghong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and Zhang Chengqi, vice president of the University of Science and Technology Sydney, are the scientific advisers of the main front of science and technology; Liu Qing, director of the National Technology Innovation Center of the Yangtze River Delta, xie Jihua, president of the National Technology Transfer Eastern Center, are innovation consultants; and Jin Jiangbo, vice president of the School of Fine Arts of Shanghai University, is the art consultant.
"Help" when the innovation subject is the most difficult
At the same time as the cluster exerts its strength, if the transformation of scientific and technological achievements wants to achieve new results, it is necessary to innovate and make breakthroughs in institutional mechanisms.
At the event, Baoshan announced the establishment of strategic cooperation with the Yangtze River Delta National Technology Innovation Center and the National Technology Transfer Eastern Center, and all parties jointly aimed at an "innovation test field" for the reform of the Yangtze River Delta science and technology system. In the future, Baoshan will jointly explore and implement innovative systems such as "team holding" construction and operation professional research institutes, functional platform transformation, "combination of allocation and investment" implementation of major projects, and joint training of industrial innovation talents.
In practice, many innovative subjects said that there are still many "breakpoints" in the transformation of achievements, and the common saying in the industry is that the first two or three years of leaving the laboratory are "the most difficult". On the one hand, because there is no longer a topic to support, the main body of innovation lacks the resources of various universities; on the other hand, because the innovation results are still in the early stage, the social capital that puts market interests first is usually "out of touch". Under normal circumstances, the "seed players" can only strive to survive this period of struggle, and after entering the industrialization stage, they can "keep the clouds open and see the moon". However, for government departments, if they can intervene in advance and "help" in the most difficult time for innovative subjects, they may be able to cultivate the "stars of tomorrow" of the new track.
To this end, Baoshan District actively guides and promotes the cooperation between enterprises and colleges and universities to build various new research and development institutions. At the event, four innovation platforms were awarded, including both a pilot amplification platform focusing on new drug research and development, and a biomedical public test platform. These innovation carriers will further accelerate the gathering of resources and help accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.
