Overlooking the historical and cultural scenic spot of "Three Mountains and Five Gardens" in Haidian District, Beijing, a "clover" is rooted in it, which is the Zhongguancun International Innovation Center.
Founded in 2007, the Zhongguancun Forum has been successfully held for 14 sessions with the permanent theme of "innovation and development", and is a national platform for global scientific and technological innovation exchanges and cooperation. From April 25th to 29th, the 2024 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Conference with the theme of "Innovation: Building a Better World" will be held in Zhongguancun International Innovation Center for the first time.
If a country wants to be strong and rejuvenated, it must vigorously develop science and technology and strive to become a major scientific center and innovation highland in the world. As one of China's most dynamic innovation highlands, Zhongguancun has high hopes.
On September 30, 2013, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) went out of Zhongnanhai for collective learning and moved the "classroom" to Zhongguancun. In 2019, 2021 and 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping congratulated the Zhongguancun Forum three times, emphasizing that "Zhongguancun is striving to build a world-leading science and technology park and innovation highland", "China supports Zhongguancun to carry out a new round of pilot reform and accelerate the construction of a world-leading science and technology park", "continue to promote the pilot reform of Zhongguancun and further accelerate the construction of a world-leading science and technology park"...... The general secretary's requirements for Zhongguancun contain a long-term plan for the mainland's scientific and technological innovation and development.
In November 2021, the 22nd meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform deliberated and passed the "Several Measures on Supporting Zhongguancun National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone to Carry out High-level Scientific and Technological Self-reliance and Self-improvement Pilot Reform", requiring Zhongguancun to aim at the most prominent shortcomings and the most urgent tasks to achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance, seek breakthroughs and innovations in strengthening the main body of innovation, gathering innovation elements, optimizing innovation mechanisms, and accelerating the construction of world-leading science and technology parks and innovation highlands.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Beijing has followed the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, adhered to the major national strategy, focused on the world's cutting-edge science and technology and future industries, gave full play to Beijing's advantages in education, science and technology, and talents, and accelerated the construction of Zhongguancun world-leading science and technology park in terms of innovation-driven demonstration and guidance, building a "test field" for the reform of the scientific and technological system, improving the ability to curate original innovation, and building a global open innovation ecology, so as to provide strong support for building a world science and technology power.
A group of numbers witnesses the road of Zhongguancun's progress. The total income of enterprises in the Zhongguancun Demonstration Zone has increased from 3.6 trillion yuan in 2014 to an estimated 8.6 trillion yuan in 2023. In 2020, the number of effective invention patents owned by enterprises in Zhongguancun Demonstration Zone exceeded 140,000, and in less than four years, this number has nearly doubled to more than 260,000.
Today, Zhongguancun has formed a development pattern of one district and multiple parks, with a spatial scale of 488 square kilometers, and has become the source of original innovation in the mainland, the main position of independent innovation and the starting point of high-tech enterprises.
Anchoring the "world's leading" and "pathfinder" Beijing is moving forward bravely and resolutely. "Efforts should be made to strengthen the construction of an international science and technology innovation center, and give full play to Beijing's advantages in the development of new quality productive forces. Yin Yong, deputy secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and mayor, said that we will accelerate the improvement of the innovation ecosystem, launch a new Zhongguancun pilot reform policy, solidly promote the construction of the world's leading science and technology park, and empower Beijing's high-quality development.
New mission: "first to try" to lead innovation-driven
If Zhongguancun is only regarded as a place name, it is difficult to understand its essence...... From the wilderness of the suburbs of Beijing to the current national "business card", a "village" dares to be the first, and has witnessed an era of struggle and innovation.
From the "electronic street" in the early 80s of the 20th century, it became the first national high-tech industrial development zone in 1988, the first national science and technology park in 1999, and the first national independent innovation demonstration zone in 2009...... Every step that Zhongguancun has taken has been marked with the "symbol" of the national strategy, and has undertaken the historical mission of meeting the major innovation needs of the country, participating in global scientific and technological competition, and exploring a new way to combine science and technology with Chinese characteristics and economy.
Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Zhongguancun has taken high-quality development as the theme, taken the pilot reform as the driving force, driven the original innovation with the leading concept, deeply implemented the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the country with talents, and the strategy of innovation-driven development, opened up new fields and new tracks for development, and shaped new development momentum and new advantages, which has become a banner of innovation and development in the mainland.
Taking innovation as its own responsibility, Zhongguancun has successively conquered a number of key core technologies such as Chinese character laser phototypesetting system, Shuguang supercomputer, Chinese search engine, 5G mobile communication, graphene material preparation, liquid metal additive manufacturing, targeted immunity, high-end medical devices, etc., and has given birth to a number of internationally competitive enterprises.
Especially in recent years, a number of new-generation science and technology companies have risen rapidly, walking in the forefront of the world in the fields of artificial intelligence, 6G, synthetic biology, brain-computer interface, etc., and have truly become the forefront of participating in global economic and technological competition.
Today, a large number of innovative achievements are broken in Zhongguancun every year, and many "world firsts" are coming one after another. In less than 5 minutes, a technology-based enterprise was settled and born in Beijing.
The driving force of innovation comes from the vitality of reform. As the vanguard of the reform of the mainland's scientific and technological innovation system and mechanism and the transformation and industrialization of achievements, Zhongguancun has played the role of a "test field" for the reform of the scientific and technological system, taking the lead in trying and promoting a number of reform policies that radiate the whole country, and policy innovation can better release the vitality of Zhongguancun's scientific and technological innovation.
In recent years, Zhongguancun has introduced and implemented a new batch of innovative measures in the identification of high-tech enterprises, the "additional deduction" of basic research expenses, the use of scientific and technological achievements before payment, the R&D reserve of state-owned enterprises, the support for the development of foreign-funded R&D centers, and the cultivation of benchmark incubators.
"At present, the domestic and foreign environment facing the development of the mainland has undergone profound and complex changes, and the economic and social development and the improvement of people's livelihood need to strengthen innovation as the primary driving force more than ever before. In an interview with the reporter of the "Lookout" news weekly, Zhao Hong, former vice president of the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences and president of the Zhongguancun Innovation and Development Research Institute, said that through more systematic and vigorous reforms, break through some institutional obstacles restricting development, take the lead in building and developing Zhongguancun, and accelerate the construction of the world's leading science and technology park and innovation highland, which is not only to provide support for Beijing to build an international science and technology innovation center, but also to help build a world science and technology power.
New technology: grasp the frontier breakthrough innovation
At present and for some time to come, the mainland's development is still in a period of important strategic opportunities. In terms of breaking through key core technologies and solving the problem of "stuck neck", Zhongguancun, as the source of scientific and technological innovation, bravely opened a new situation and took responsibility.
Towards a new journey, Zhongguancun, which was born because of innovation, will continue to expand its mission connotation: it will make new achievements in the ability to curate original innovation, make new achievements in tackling key core technologies, and make new achievements in future cutting-edge technology breakthroughs.
-- Consolidating basic research and enhancing the ability to innovate originally. Strengthening basic research is an urgent requirement for achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance. Zhongguancun has strengthened the forward-looking, strategic and systematic layout of basic research in many aspects, focused on national strategic needs, focused on major original innovation and basic research supporting breakthroughs in key core technologies, played a good "first move", strengthened the mechanism for discovering and cultivating innovative talents, deepened the reform of the system and mechanism of diversified investment, built a highland of opening up and cooperation in basic research, improved the ability of basic research and original innovation, and promoted the leading development of basic research.
Take a photo, click the send button, and in just a few seconds, a picture will pass through the optical fiber under the carrier of quantum light and appear on the screen of another terminal to complete the secure transmission of information. In the quantum communication laboratory of the Beijing Institute of Quantum Information Science, Long Guilu, a professor at Tsinghua University, demonstrates the communication rate of a quantum direct communication prototype in the order of kilobits per second.
In recent years, the world's first practical quantum direct communication prototype, the world's longest quantum direct communication distance, a new generation of quantum computing cloud platform and other blockbuster achievements have emerged here.
Zhang Jihong, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission and Zhongguancun Management Committee, said that by accelerating the cultivation and development of disruptive technologies, Beijing has emerged the world's first visual universal segmentation model SegGPT, a new generation of 256-core blockchain dedicated acceleration chips, long-life superconducting qubit chips, ultra-large-scale intelligent models "Wudao 3.0", and the first domestic independent controllable software and hardware technology system "Chang'an Chain" and other major innovative achievements.
Today, Beijing's original innovation source function has been further enhanced, and the strength and level of scientific and technological innovation have been further improved. Over the past decade, the number of invention patents per 10,000 people has more than quadrupled, from 48.2 in 2014 to 262.9 in 2023. In the 2012~2022 "Top Ten Advances in Science in China" released by the Ministry of Science and Technology, 56 projects led by units in Beijing were selected, accounting for 51% of all award-winning projects.
——Tackle the key core and solve the "stuck neck" problem. On November 28, 2023, at a new product launch conference called "Hitting the Water in the Middle Stream", Hu Weiwu, the 55-year-old founder of Loongson Zhongke, wore a Mao suit and steadily walked to the center of the stage. On this day, the new generation of general-purpose CPU independently developed by Continental - Loongson 3A6000 was officially released in Beijing.
Loongson 3A6000 adopts the instruction system and architecture independently designed by Continental, without relying on foreign authorized technology, and is a new generation of general-purpose processor independently developed and controllable by Continental, which can run a variety of cross-platform applications and meet multiple types of large-scale and complex desktop application scenarios.
"The global information industry is built on two technology platforms dominated by the United States and the West. One is the X86 platform, which is typically represented by Wintel system, Intel (CPU), and Microsoft (operating system), and the other is the ARM platform, which is represented by the AA system (ARM CPU, Android operating system). Loongson should strive to create a third system for China's information industry, our own system. Hu Weiwu said.
This is a microcosm of Zhongguancun's implementation of key core technologies, in accordance with the deployment of Beijing's key core technology campaign, Zhongguancun focuses on 9 major industrial fields, targets to solve the "neck" problem in the fields of artificial intelligence, integrated circuits, etc., and has achieved a series of breakthroughs and remarkable results.
Zhang Jihong said that in the field of key core technologies, Zhongguancun has released the first domestic software and hardware technology system "Chang'an Chain", the world's first FPD-EDA full-process solution, the world's first new stem cell drug for the treatment of liver failure and other innovative achievements, and has given birth to a number of hard scientific and technological achievements with international leading technology level, import substitution or filling the domestic gap.
——Break through cutting-edge technology and lay out the future track. The car was parked steadily, and there was no driver. Scan the QR code to verify his identity, open the door and take a seat, click "Start Trip", and Panda began the journey from Beijing Yizhuang to Daxing Airport. The car automatically selects the optimal route, and the driving is silky smooth, fast and slow. This is the "new" autonomous driving version of the Beijing Daxing Airport Line.
Smart cars, smart roads, real-time clouds, reliable networks, and accurate maps...... It has only been more than 3 years since the establishment of a high-level autonomous driving demonstration area in Zhongguancun Yimanor, and unmanned driving scenarios such as unmanned delivery, unmanned retail, and unmanned patrol have been implemented. The cumulative autonomous driving test mileage is nearly 30 million kilometers, and more than 11.6 million people have been provided with normalized travel and life services.
Behind the "scientific and technological business card" of autonomous driving is a vivid portrayal of Beijing's forward-looking grasp of the time and trend of development and the deployment of future industries in advance.
As early as 2013, Baidu established a deep learning research institute, and the unmanned driving research and development project was launched simultaneously. At the "Baidu AI Developer Conference" in July 2017, the slogan "All in AI" was shouted, making Baidu the first high-tech enterprise in China to invest heavily in artificial intelligence and develop its own AI technology system.
R&D institutions are just as fast. In the second half of 2020, more than two years before the release of ChatGPT, Beijing KLCII focused its research direction on large models, and soon gathered a top scientific research team composed of more than 100 people. Five months later, the mainland's first Chinese language model "Wudao" was born in Beijing. Three months later, the "Wudao 2.0" with 1.75 trillion parameters was released, which was the world's largest artificial intelligence model at that time.
In the field of artificial intelligence, Beijing is the earliest and the fastest. Through the introduction of artificial intelligence source and general artificial intelligence policy, the construction of Zhongguancun artificial intelligence industry cluster, Zhongguancun strives to build a new highland of artificial intelligence industry. At present, 107 large models have been filed and launched in the country, including 47 in Zhongguancun, accounting for more than 40% of the number of online models in the country.
Grasping cutting-edge technology and focusing on the future of the industry, new achievements are emerging. Today, Zhongguancun has given birth to a number of innovative achievements such as Cambrian's internationally leading deep learning intelligent chip, Megvii's internationally leading artificial intelligence algorithm platform Brain++, and three technologies, including the ultra-high-precision positioning technology of the Aerospace Information Innovation Research Institute and ByteDance's TikTok recommendation algorithm technology, were selected as the "Top Ten Breakthrough Technologies in the World in 2021" by MIT Technology Review.
New Industries: Aiming at new quality productivity
Taking "quality" as the handsome and moving towards "new" is the key word for Zhongguancun to cultivate and expand the new quality productive forces.
Focus on the development of artificial intelligence, quantum information, 6G, robotics, commercial aerospace, biomedicine and other industries...... In recent years, Beijing has aimed at cutting-edge science and technology, accelerated the cultivation of high-tech industries, built science and technology leading enterprises, released the vitality of industrial clusters, and cultivated and expanded new quality productivity in multiple dimensions.
-- Accelerate the cultivation of high-tech industries and seize the commanding heights of future development. In 2023, 13 commercial launches by private rocket companies in mainland China will all come from Beijing.
Founded in 2018, Galaxy Power is now a unicorn company. Talking about the reason for settling in Zhongguancun, Liu Baiqi, chairman of Beijing Galaxy Power Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd., said that Zhongguancun has a complete enterprise support system, including brand empowerment, talent services, financial support, knowledge channels, business incubation and other institutional mechanisms.
Beijing is the birthplace of the mainland's aerospace industry and an enrichment of scientific and technological innovation resources in the aerospace field. In recent years, Beijing has made efforts to plug the difficulties of the commercial aerospace industry. At the beginning of 2021, Beijing took the lead in releasing the country's first special policy to support the development of commercial aerospace, "Several Measures to Support the Development of the Satellite Network Industry". With policy support, investment escort, and ecological construction, the development of Beijing's commercial aerospace industry has been further accelerated, and the layout of "South Arrow and North Star" has taken shape. In the list of "2023 China's Top 100 Commercial Aerospace Enterprises", Beijing enterprises occupy half of the country with 51, and nearly 30 enterprises have been awarded the title of "Little Giant" of national specialization, refinement, and innovation.
In recent years, Beijing has taken Zhongguancun as the main position, researched and formulated policies and measures for the development of high-tech industries, and introduced more than 30 subdivided industry support policies such as humanoid robots, commercial aerospace, and unmanned aerial vehicles, and actively seized the commanding heights of scientific and technological competition and future development.
Zhang Jihong said that to cultivate and expand new quality productivity, in addition to expanding and strengthening advantageous industries such as artificial intelligence, medicine and health, and new energy intelligent vehicles, it is also necessary to promote the development of strategic emerging industries such as new energy, new materials, commercial aerospace, and low-altitude economy, and accelerate the shaping of new momentum and new advantages for high-quality development.
——Strengthen the main position of enterprise innovation and build a number of leading enterprises. Zhongguancun accelerates the construction of a new paradigm of enterprise-led deep integration of industry, university and research, promotes leading enterprises to set up 24 innovation consortia and 20 technology innovation centers, increases the supply of scenario applications, and continues to promote the research and development of underlying technologies and product innovation iterations.
Leading enterprises symbolize the vane of economic development and become a key indicator to measure the region's innovation capability and innovation ecology. Today, a number of hard-core head enterprises have emerged in Zhongguancun, with 9 companies including JD.com and Xiaomi selected as the "Fortune Global 500" in 2022, and 93 companies shortlisted in the "Top 2500 Global R&D Investment in 2022" released by international organizations.
In 2022, Zhongguancun Demonstration Zone has 16,000 national high-tech enterprises, the number of enterprises with annual revenue of more than 100 million yuan has increased from 1,897 in 2012 to 4,245 in 2022, the number of enterprises exceeding 100 billion yuan has increased from scratch to 11 in 2022, and the cumulative number of listed companies has increased from 224 in 2012 to 487 in 2022.
——Promote the deep integration of the innovation chain and the industrial chain, and release the vitality of industrial clusters. Zhongguancun Life Science Park, located in Changping, Beijing, has gathered more than 600 innovative pharmaceutical companies, settled in scientific research units such as the Beijing Institute of Biological Sciences and the National Protein Science Center (Beijing Base), and built professional platforms such as AI new drug research and development platforms, Beijing Biobank, as well as clinical resources such as Peking University International Hospital and Gaobo Hospital, the first research hospital, and a complete industrial chain is gradually taking shape.
Focusing on the leading industries of each branch of Zhongguancun, Beijing will build 23 high-quality characteristic industrial parks, and support Zhongguancun District 1 and multiple parks to become an important engine for Beijing's high-quality development.
In the development of industrial clusters, the "double engine" role of Beijing's new generation of information technology and biomedicine is prominent. The comprehensive strength of the artificial intelligence industry ranks among the top in the country, and the market share of big data and information security ranks first in the country, and the biomedical industry cluster gathers more than 1,800 enterprises, and in 2022, the variety and number of innovative medical devices and AI medical devices on the market rank first in the country, forming two trillion-level industrial clusters of the new generation of information technology and science and technology service industries, with a scale of nearly 980 billion yuan, and is expected to become the third trillion-level industrial cluster in 2024.
New Ecology: Innovative rainforests flourish
More than 200 business incubators, nearly 600 alliance associations and non-governmental organizations, and thousands of legal, accounting, and intellectual property service institutions have gathered, and the entrepreneurial ecosystem such as Zhongguancun Chuangye Street and Zhizao Street has been optimized and upgraded...... Zhongguancun strives to create a new ecology of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship services with the whole chain and the whole life cycle.
The suitable soil for innovation and the first-class entrepreneurial ecology make Zhongguancun Demonstration Zone one of the most attractive entrepreneurial centers in the country.
——Gather and cultivate outstanding talents and create an "ecosystem" of innovative talents. In 2016, Wang Shaokang, who returned from studying abroad, and his entrepreneurial partners came to Zhongguancun to start a business and established Inference Medical Technology Co., Ltd. In just 8 years, this medical artificial intelligence company has become a national-level specialized and new "little giant".
Wang Shaokang's entrepreneurial story is a vivid embodiment of Zhongguancun's creation of an "ecosystem" of innovative talents. Beijing has formulated and implemented policies and measures such as 28 scientific research funds and 30 scientific and technological innovations, explored and formed reform measures such as "unveiling the leader" and the system of contracting scientific research funds, provided a "through train" for foreign high-level talents to apply for permanent residence, and implemented the 20 new policies for the entry and exit of international talents in Zhongguancun...... A series of measures have converged into a joint force of innovation and entrepreneurship to form a Zhongguancun innovation and entrepreneurship culture characterized by encouraging innovation and tolerating failure.
High-end entrepreneurial and entrepreneurial talents are gathering at an accelerated pace. In 2022, there will be 2.79 million employees in Zhongguancun, 1.5 times that of 2013. Among them, 63,000 returned from studying abroad, three times the number in 2012. Today, Beijing has more than 550,000 scientific researchers and nearly half of the country's academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In the field of cutting-edge science and technology, the talent advantage is particularly prominent, such as Beijing's top artificial intelligence talents, accounting for about 43% of the country's total.
——Deeply cultivated incubation carriers for 30 years, and created a good innovation service ecology. As an important pivotal link in the industrial innovation ecosystem, the benchmark incubator plays an important leading role in accelerating the incubation of hard technology enterprises and promoting the development of high-tech industries and the cultivation of future industries.
After more than 30 years of intensive cultivation, Beijing has continuously upgraded its incubator operation mechanism and service model, continued to lead the upgrading and development of national innovation and entrepreneurship, and continuously nurtured a large number of outstanding science and technology enterprises, making important contributions to the integration of industry, university and research, the cultivation of high-tech industries, and the high-quality development of the economy and society.
Beijing seized the new opportunity of incubation paradigm change, took the lead in the country to issue the "Benchmark Incubator Cultivation Action Plan (2022-2025)", and has explored the layout and construction of the first batch of benchmark incubators, in the "4.0 era" of business incubation, leading the professional, value-based and international development of the incubation industry at a high level.
In 2022, Zhongguancun has 65 national science and technology business incubators, 144 national maker spaces, and 51 national technology transfer institutions. According to the Global City Entrepreneurship Incubation Index released in May 2023, Beijing ranks fourth in the world in terms of overall business incubation and first in the world in individual indicators of incubation performance.
-- Promoting the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and integrating it into the regional development cycle. More than 150 kilometers south of Beijing, on Chaoyang North Street in Baoding, two dark blue "twin buildings" shine brightly. At the end of April 2015, the first innovation center set up by Zhongguancun outside Beijing in China, Baoding Zhongguancun Innovation Center, was put into operation.
By the end of 2023, Baoding Zhongguancun Innovation Center has cultivated more than 80 high-tech enterprises, more than 300 technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises, and the cumulative R&D investment of settled enterprises has exceeded 100 million yuan, and more than 1,000 intellectual property rights have been owned.
Promoting the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is an important mission of Zhongguancun. In recent years, Zhongguancun has strengthened the construction of Zhongguancun cooperation parks in Xiong'an, Baoding, Tianjin, Tianjin Binhai and Baodi with the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei High-tech Zone Alliance and the Tianjin-Hebei Cooperation Park as the starting point.
Since its inauguration on August 30, 2023, the occupancy rate of the first phase of Xiong'an Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park has reached 90%. These enterprises are mainly high-tech, specialized, special and new "little giants", and their main businesses are mostly artificial intelligence, intelligent hardware, biomedicine, etc.
At present, more than 9,500 enterprises in Zhongguancun Demonstration Zone have set up branches in the Tianjin-Hebei region. In 2023, there will be 6,758 technology contracts from Beijing to Tianjin and Hebei, with a turnover of 78.47 billion yuan, an increase of 14.9% and 109.8% respectively over 2022. Zhongguancun has established strategic cooperative relations with 77 regions (units) in 26 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country, and jointly built 27 bases for the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements.
Yin Li, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and secretary of the Beijing Municipal CPC Committee, said that Beijing is rich in education, science and technology, and human resources, and scientific and technological innovation achievements are constantly emerging. It is necessary to adhere to the standards of the first good, aim at the world's first-class, vigorously promote the construction of an international science and technology innovation center, and strive to build Beijing into a major scientific center and innovation highland in the world.
