In 2021, Shaanxi Province's technology-based smes increased by 38.6%, high-tech enterprises increased by 32.3%, technology contract turnover increased by 33.2%, and the coverage rate of R&D activities and R&D investment intensity of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by more than the previous four years combined... There are many highlights of innovation and development, and the effect of scientific and technological innovation construction drawings has begun to appear, which is closely related to the construction of Qin Chuangyuan's innovation-driven general platform promoted by Shaanxi Province since March 2021.
Unleash your potential with the platform
Qin, is the abbreviation of Shaanxi, harmonic diligent and persistent; creation, that is, innovation, entrepreneurship, creation, excellence; original, refers to the white deer plain and other loess terraces like the towering, become the source of science and technology, innovation highland. In the exhibition hall of Qin Chuangyuan Ecological Science and Technology Innovation Island in Fengxi New Town, Xixian New District, Shaanxi Province, the pictures of ancient and modern blending and simple and vivid words illustrate Qin Chuangyuan.
This ingenious and shaanxi-flavored name exudes the twisting and breaking energy of the old Qin people who do not give up until they reach their goals. Shaanxi has gathered more than 100 colleges and universities, more than 1,500 scientific research institutions, more than 2 million professional and technical personnel, of which there are 72 academicians in shaanxi and the Two Academies, ranking the forefront of the country, "Jiaolong" diving sea, "Chang'e" running moon, "Tianwen-1" and so on have shaanxi contributions. At the same time, Shaanxi people are soberly aware that the overall efficiency of the local innovation system is not high enough, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements is not enough, and there is still great potential for innovation advantages to be turned into development advantages.
"Innovation is our greatest advantage and greatest potential, and we must do a good job in promoting high-quality development." Liu Guozhong, secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, said that it is necessary to further improve the platform of Qin Chuangyuan, enhance the aggregation force and radiation power, and accelerate the birth of a number of science and technology innovation enterprises and science and technology innovation industries. Drive high-quality development with innovation, accelerate innovation-driven by building an industrialization platform for scientific and technological achievements, and accelerate the transformation of innovation advantages into development advantages.
Qin Chuangyuan, from which it came into being, quickly became a trend. Shaanxi has made it clear that the general window of Qin Chuangyuan is located in the Western Innovation Port and Xixian New Area, and local universities, research institutes, enterprises and cities can participate in it, and is committed to building Qin Chuangyuan into the overall source and general platform for innovation-driven development in the province, and building it into a market-oriented, shared, open and comprehensive scientific and technological innovation platform that radiates and drives high-quality development in the western region and even the whole country and along the "Belt and Road".
"By building an industrialization platform for scientific and technological innovation and creating a science and technology innovation system from research and development to incubation and then to industrialization, it will help make innovation resources a development advantage and enable science and technology innovation enterprises and science and technology innovation industries to develop and grow rapidly." Wang Jing, a professor at the Business School of Northwest University of Political Science and Law, believes that Qin Chuangyuan shoulders the mission of promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, building a common technology research and development platform, realizing school-enterprise cooperation, cultivating innovative talents, and promoting the in-depth integration of government, industry and research, which will drive Shaanxi from a strong province of science and education to a strong province of science and technology, and help catch up and surpass.
According to the "Qin Chuangyuan Innovation-driven Platform Construction Three-Year Action Plan (2021-2023)", by 2023, the local independent innovation ability will be significantly enhanced, more than 50 innovation consortiums, common technology research and development platforms and other new research and development institutions will be built in key areas, and a number of key core technologies supporting industrial and regional development will be overcome; the industrialization and application of new technologies will continue to grow, promoting and transforming more than 1,000 scientific and technological achievements, and the introduction and cultivation of science and technology enterprises will reach 2,000 The innovation ecological environment will continue to be optimized, and more than 30 double creation service platforms will be built, the scale of innovation funds will exceed 10 billion yuan, and the turnover of technical contracts will exceed 30 billion yuan.
Improve the mechanism to promote integration
Walking into the Shaanxi High-end Machine Tool Innovation Research Institute, I saw that the working machine tools kept humming. The research institute is an innovative research and development platform jointly built by the Administrative Committee of Xixian New Area, Xi'an Jiaotong University and Qinchuan Machine Tool Group on the Qinchuangyuan platform, with the performance improvement of gear grinders as a breakthrough. It mainly carries out key technology research and development, engineering capacity building and other work, and also reserves core technologies for incubation of new project companies.
"Enterprises have needs and funds, colleges and universities have talents and research, and the integration of science and education and the integration of industry and education can bring new breakthroughs." Zhao Wanhua, dean of the Shaanxi High-end Machine Tool Innovation Research Institute and professor at Xi'an Jiaotong University, said that to achieve new breakthroughs, it is necessary to build a new interest mechanism and form a sustainable chain. Specifically, the research institute was established by the professor and his team accounting for 80% of the shares, the local innovation and promotion center accounting for 20% of the shares, and then the research institute accounted for 30% of the shares, and The Qinchuan Machine Tool Group accounted for 70% of the shares to establish Shaanxi Qinchuan High-end Gear Equipment Co., Ltd.
"We are not impulsive, but based on years of research and observation, with the help of Qin Chuangyuan to build a bridge of two chain integration." Integration is not the same as replacing each other, and it is necessary to develop each other's strengths. Zhao Wanhua said that the research institute has a strong sense of problems, such as aiming at how to use machine tools well, the establishment of processing technology centers; aiming at how to build machine tools, the establishment of design and manufacturing technology centers; aiming at how to improve the dynamic performance of high-end machine tools, the establishment of drive and servo technology centers; aiming at how to master the core technology of high-end machine tools, the establishment of system and control technology centers.
According to reports, Qin Chuangyuan Qinchuan Group's high-end industrial mother machine innovation base project has been signed, and it is planned to build a high-end industrial mother machine innovation base integrating scientific and technological research and development, achievement transformation and industrialization from March to the end of the year, with a total investment of about 1 billion yuan. The next step will be to give full play to the leading role of Qinchuan Group as the "chain master" of the CNC machine tool industry chain in Shaanxi Province, and build a high-end CNC machine tool collectivization industrial cluster by building a high-end industrial mother machine innovation base.
There are many such projects around accelerating the deep integration of the industrial chain and the innovation chain. Recently, qin Chuangyuan general window in the first quarter of 2022 industrial projects and supporting projects centralized signing ceremony was held, a total of 10 of the world's top 500 enterprises, 6 of China's top 500 enterprises, 3 of the industry's top 500 enterprises, the total investment of 86.046 billion yuan.
Founded in 2007, Xi'an Juguang Technology Co., Ltd. is a native of Xi'an, which has been focusing on the research and development and application of photonic technology, and was listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange in December 2021. Liu Xingsheng, chairman and general manager of the company, said that the most important thing in hard science and technology is talent, and Shaanxi has introduced many policies that play an important role in scientific and technological innovation of enterprises. The company is actively participating in Qin Chuangyuan, strengthening interaction with enterprises on the platform and promoting the sharing of R&D resources. He believes that Qin Chuangyuan is a platform that is not limited to one time and one place, which helps everyone to better interact and promote innovation.
The market and the government work together
Enterprises are the main body of innovation. Shaanxi hopes to accelerate the development of science and technology enterprise incubation carriers through Qin Chuangyuan, cultivate and expand science and technology enterprises, and strive to build a development pattern of small and medium-sized enterprises "covering the sky" and leading enterprises "standing on top of the sky". As a platform built by the government, how to give full play to the role of the market in the construction of Qin Chuangyuan is the key to achieving its results.
Sun Ke, director of the Science and Technology Department of Shaanxi Province, said that Qin Chuangyuan's innovation-driven platform is accelerating its work in accordance with the requirements of "enterprise mainstay, talent mainstay, market leadership, and government promotion". In terms of grasping the cultivation of market players, we will give play to the role of the "spring seed" fund, accurately excavate, dock and cultivate a number of high-quality science and technology innovation projects; and carefully select 33 enterprises that are expected to be listed in recent years, and give key support through projects, platforms, talents, etc., to accelerate the listing process of science and technology enterprises. In terms of giving play to the main role of talents, we will introduce and train a number of scientific and technological innovation and entrepreneurship talents and teams that enterprises urgently need, and accelerate the construction of the three teams of "science and technology brokers", "new double creation" and "scientists + engineers".
Since 2021, Xixian New Area has issued a series of preferential policies such as supporting the construction of 15 general windows of Qin Chuangyuan, started the construction of 93 science and technology innovation carriers such as The Golden Bay Science and Technology Innovation Zone and the Science and Technology Innovation Ecological Island, and continued to build a general engine and large platform for talent gathering, capital aggregation, service aggregation, element aggregation, and development and fusion. In August last year, Qin Chuangyuan Integrated Service Center was established as the link point and undertaking entity of online and offline services. In the center, there are 18 service windows in 5 categories, including commercial services, policy services, science and technology government affairs, science and technology finance, and comprehensive services, to realize the integration of commercial services, the sharing of technical elements, policy consultation and cashing, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, scientific and technological financial services, entrepreneurial incubation services, scientific and technological innovation activities and other core business functions, providing standardized, professional and one-stop full-process services for various types of innovative and entrepreneurial entities.
Zhao Xiao, deputy director of the Management Committee of Xixian New Area, said that deepening professional services will help further optimize the innovation ecology. The local government has established a database of enterprise service needs to provide point-to-point accurate services. In particular, we will create a general entrance for the service of "Qin Chuangyuan Mini Program" for science and technology enterprises to ensure that newly introduced science and technology enterprises can enjoy the whole process of services through mini programs.
In terms of development goals, Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi Province, also proposed the general pattern of Qin Chuangyuan's "one general and two belts" construction, that is, with the Xixian New Area as the general window, the Qin Chuangyuan Scientific and Technological Innovation Demonstration Belt spanning the high-tech zone, Chang'an University Town and the aerospace base in the southeast, and the Qin Chuangyuan advanced manufacturing demonstration belt across the Economic Development Zone, Weibei New City and Yanliang District to the northeast. Li Zhijun, director of the Xi'an Municipal Science and Technology Bureau, said that Xi'an will adhere to the construction of Qin Chuangyuan as a key link in the integration of the two chains, as an innovative demonstration to promote the integration of Xixian and Xian, and strive to create a new ecology of the three-dimensional linkage "incubator" of Qin Chuangyuan, the "accelerator" of achievement transformation, and the "promoter" of the integration of the two chains.
