Enhance the ability to source sources, seize opportunities in the positioning of characteristic and differentiated development, increase investment in basic research, focus on forward-looking technology research in areas where our province has relative advantages, and form dislocation development and competitive cooperation with other advanced regions.
Make up for the shortcomings of hardware, build a cluster of large scientific devices, build a cutting-edge cross-cutting research center and a key common technology platform, implement a major scientific and technological project of the through-type, and achieve practical results in the construction of major scientific and technological infrastructure.
Pay attention to the joint efforts of multiple parties, seek development in gathering national strategic scientific and technological forces, promote the construction of East Lake Science City by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hubei Province and Wuhan City, promote the establishment of in-depth cooperative relations between Wuhan and first-class universities and institutes at home and abroad, and bring together top international innovative talents and teams.
Optimize the spatial layout, create a "Wuhan City Circle Collaborative Innovation Community", support Xiangyang, Yichang and other places to build regional innovation highlands, and promote coordination in building a regional innovation community.
