Scientific and technological innovation can help the city's scientific and technological strength to achieve a leap from "0 to 1".
However, in order to achieve a leap from "1 to 100" in the city's scientific and technological strength, it is necessary to build a preferred place for the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements. In other words, it is necessary to open up the channel for the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, so that scientific and technological achievements can smoothly enter the market.
On January 3, the first meeting of the 2024 New Year - West Lake District Science and Technology Innovation Conference was held, placing scientific and technological innovation at the core of the overall situation.
At the meeting, the West Lake District released two action plans, namely the "West Lake District to Build the Preferred Action for the Transformation of Achievements and the Action of the University Innovation Circle", to make more scientific and technological achievements move from the "shelf" to the "shelf".
Attract more than 100 high-level talents
Come to West Lake for innovation and entrepreneurship
Over the years, the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements is a big problem, the West Lake District to gnaw this "hard bone", so that scientific and technological innovation "blossom and bear fruit", first of all, to open up the "nearest kilometer" transformation channel, with "innovation one kilometer" to leverage the "tens of millions of miles" of industrial development.
The "Action Plan for the Preferred Place for Achievement Transformation" proposes the "Innovation One Kilometer" for the West Lake Path for Achievement Transformation, focusing on the four steps of "building a pilot area for the coordinated development of educational and technological talents, a pilot area for the reform of scientific and technological systems, a demonstration area for the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and a first-class ecological benchmark area for innovation and entrepreneurship".
This is a "West Lake Path" to establish and improve the whole process service system of "basic research-technical research-engineering test-application transformation-industrialization", and the goal is to 2025——
It has achieved more than 40,000 effective invention patents, cultivated more than 500 technology transfer and transformation professionals, attracted more than 100 high-level talents to innovate and start businesses in West Lake, and cultivated more than 500 new high-tech enterprises, becoming a distribution center for efficient absorption of global scientific and technological achievements "strong magnetic field" and high-frequency achievement trading.
Within one kilometer of the university
Build 5 innovation ecosystems
Looking at Zhejiang, in terms of university resources, the advantages of West Lake District can be described as unique.
As one of the most concentrated urban areas in Zhejiang, Xihu District has 18 colleges and universities, including Zhejiang University, Westlake University, China Academy of Art, Hangzhou High Institute of UCAS, and Zhejiang University of Technology, which also makes the university economy an important engine to promote the economic development of Xihu District.
The "Action Plan for the Transformation of Achievements" released yesterday is the deepening and upgrading of the economic implementation opinions of colleges and universities in West Lake District.
To create the first choice for the transformation of achievements, how to distribute the West Lake District?
The answer lies in the "Action Plan for the Innovation Ecosystem of the University" -
Within one kilometer of the university, we will coordinate the science and technology innovation platform, universities and talents in the jurisdiction to create five major innovation ecosystems: "Zijingang Innovation Ecosystem, Xiaoheshan Innovation and Entrepreneurship Circle, Yunqi Innovation Ecosystem, Huanzhijiang Cultural Innovation Circle, and Laos Cultural and Educational Innovation and Entrepreneurship Circle".
Among them, the "Zijingang Innovation Ecosystem", with Zhejiang University and Westlake University as the core, will scientifically lay out the innovation space around the university, plan the leading industries in line with regional development, and focus on promoting the 1897 Science and Technology Innovation Valley, intellectual property service complex, proof of concept center and other landmark points, so as to create a university economic innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem integrating scientific and technological innovation, achievement transformation, and innovation and entrepreneurship.
Located at the east end of the West Science and Technology Innovation Corridor, with Zhejiang University and Westlake University as the "Zhiyuan" innovation source area, the "Zijingang Innovation Ecosystem" will create a pattern of one city (Zijingang Science and Technology City), one valley (1897 Science and Technology Innovation Valley, Sandun Town), and multiple parks (Jiangcun Street) to attract high-quality projects and outstanding talents.
How to attract the phoenix?
One of the steps in the "Zijingang Innovation Ecosystem Action" is to build a high-quality international science and technology innovation community.
1. Benchmark the University Town of Boston in the United States and the University Town of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, and take the Yunchen project as the landmark of the city center to create a "first-class international university town".
2. Linking Zhejiang University and Westlake University, the layout takes the Future Life Science Park of Westlake University Town as the core, and radiates a 2-square-kilometer life and health industry circle.
3. Around the village collective reserved land and Metro Line 4 TOD Westlake University Station, the introduction of fashionable commercial meals, and the high standard of commercial facilities.
4. Taking London's Hyde Park as a template, we will strive to build a green core park with four major patterns of "mountains, rivers, forests and fields".
5. Promote the construction of the Science and Technology Innovation Industrial Park in the Yungu Area, and create a future community of "integration of production, education and research" in the integration of physical community, digital community, research community and industrial community.
