Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement is the key to China's modernization drive. As one of the national innovative pilot cities, Qingdao attaches great importance to scientific and technological innovation, continuously strengthens the supply of scientific and technological innovation through the implementation of innovation-driven development strategy, and supports and leads high-quality economic and social development. In the list of national innovative cities, Qingdao has ranked among the top ten in the country for three consecutive years. Liu Xuehui, member of the party group and deputy director of the Municipal Science and Technology Bureau, introduced that the "Qingdao Five-Year Plan to Build an International Innovative City (2022-2026)" and the "Qingdao Three-Year Action Plan for Building an International Innovative City (2022-2024)" were released and implemented last year.

Xing Zhanjun, member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, assistant to the president of Shandong University and secretary of the Party Working Committee of Qingdao Campus, believes that to build an international and innovative city, we must stimulate the innovation vitality of various subjects. "At present, many universities and research institutes in Qingdao have strong basic research capabilities. In the preliminary research, I found that some universities and scientific research institutions did not interact enough with relevant departments in Qingdao, and did not play a large enough role in serving urban development, and suggested that relevant departments and enterprises strengthen exchanges and cooperation with universities and scientific research institutions to help urban development. Xing Zhanjun said.

Strengthening the main position of enterprise scientific and technological innovation is a key measure to deepen the reform of the scientific and technological system and promote the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance. Wang Xue, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of China Coal Oriental Holdings Co., Ltd., suggested that relevant departments should accelerate the cultivation and expansion of science and technology enterprises and improve the development quality of science and technology enterprises. On the one hand, it is necessary to build a high-tech enterprise echelon cultivation system and establish a high-tech enterprise cultivation bank; On the other hand, we must vigorously introduce innovative leading enterprises, continuously strengthen the chain, build the chain, supplement the chain, and expand and strengthen the industrial chain.

"Qingdao has a developed marine economy and a strong foundation for marine scientific research, but the cultivation of marine emerging industries is still in its infancy. Qingdao should increase the cultivation of marine science and technology enterprises, encourage sea-related enterprises to increase investment in scientific research and innovation, and strengthen Qingdao's advantages in marine industry. Wang Xue said.
Enterprises are the most active cells in the innovation system. At the scene of the consultation activity, Wang Xiaobin, deputy director of the Science and Technology Division of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, introduced that in recent years, the city has strengthened collaborative research in technological innovation, focused on the city's key development of industrial fields, and guided enterprises and the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to jointly develop innovative achievements with industry-leading roles. At present, more than 3,000 key projects of enterprise technological innovation have been completed every year.

Qin Jun, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and executive president of Qingdao Mendou Network Technology Co., Ltd., has long been concerned about the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises. He believes that at present, Qingdao is constantly improving the enterprise technology innovation system, encouraging enterprises on the plan to build technology research and development centers, and improving scientific and technological innovation capabilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises have weak R&D conditions, and can adopt a diversified approach of "offline + cloud" to promote the construction of enterprise R&D institutions and enhance their technical strength. "There are obvious differences in the innovation needs of small and medium-sized enterprises and large enterprises, and relevant units can introduce cultivation policies for small and medium-sized enterprises, increase incentives for projects that conform to the national strategic direction and have core technologies, expand the scope of tax deductions for R&D expenses, and truly dispel the concerns of small and medium-sized enterprises on innovation costs from the policy level, so that small and medium-sized enterprises can move forward lightly on the road of innovation and development." Qin Jun suggested.

The members' suggestions received a positive response from the functional departments. "Enterprises are the main body of scientific and technological innovation, in the next step, we will deeply implement the 'fertile soil plan' for the cultivation of scientific and technological enterprises, select about 1,000 technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises to enter the warehouse and cultivate every year, and support enterprises and colleges and universities to jointly build joint laboratories, R&D centers and innovation centers to continuously enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises." Through a series of measures, we will do a good job in improving the "quantity" and "quality" of science and technology enterprises. Liu Xuehui said.
