In the era of new quality productivity, the innovation of the government's science and technology management system

INTRODUCTION

High-quality development is the last word in the new era, and the development of new quality productivity is an inherent requirement and an important focus to promote high-quality development. With its professional advantages in government consulting and accurate grasp of customer needs, Zhongda Consulting Group has cooperated with the Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Commission on soft science research projects for two consecutive years to provide intellectual support for government departments. With the progress of the project "Research on Expanding Scientific and Technological Exchanges and Cooperation in Shenzhen to Form a Globally Competitive Open Innovation Ecosystem", Yin Shaoqun and Cui Yu from the Science and Technology Management and Policy Research Team of Zhongda Consulting Group published a theoretical article "Building a Scientific and Technological Management System Compatible with New Quality Productivity" on Guangming.com, a key news website of the central government, as the phased results of the research. This paper provides suggestions and suggestions for the optimization of the science and technology management system, aiming to provide reference and reference for the progress of the science and technology management system in Shenzhen and even China.

The relations of production affect the allocation and efficiency of the productive forces, and must be adapted to the requirements of the development of the productive forces. Deepening the reform of the S&T management system is a key link in forming a new type of production relationship that matches the level of development of productive forces, and is a process of optimizing the organizational structure of scientific research management, improving the S&T planning system, and strengthening the organizational mode of scientific research. At present, the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial development has become the main feature of global economic development, and the scientific and technological competition between major countries has shifted from competition in a single technological field to all-round confrontation of scientific and technological systems. In the context of the accelerated changes in the world's political, scientific and technological and economic patterns, in order to open up a "new track" for development, enhance the "new kinetic energy" for development, and shape the "new advantages" for development, it is necessary to build an efficient, coordinated and open scientific and technological management system that is compatible with the new quality productivity, accelerate the improvement of original innovation capabilities, strengthen the ability to tackle key problems in core technologies, gather talent attraction, and form a "joint force" of new quality production.

1. Improve the scientific nature of decision-making and promote the institutionalization of scientific and technological decision-making consultation

New materials are the foundation of industrial development and an important support for promoting new industrialization. In recent years, new materials have been deeply integrated with nanotechnology, superconducting technology, 3D printing technology, etc., and have shown their talents in electronic manufacturing, medical equipment, aerospace and other fields, and the industry has developed rapidly. It is estimated that by 2025, the output value of the mainland's new material industry will reach 10 trillion yuan.

At present, the cross-integration characteristics of cutting-edge technologies are becoming more and more significant, and new knowledge, new technologies and their new applications are showing exponential growth. In this situation, the formulation and decision-making process of scientific and technological innovation strategies and policies are becoming more and more complex, and decision-making departments need to not only accurately understand the development trend of domestic industries, but also comprehensively consider the multi-dimensional pattern of international scientific and technological competition and cooperation.

On a global scale, it has become an international consensus to establish a normalized decision-making and consultation mechanism for science and technology innovation strategy and policy, and the perfect science and technology consultation system in developed countries provides an effective guarantee for the scientificity, objective and applicability of science and technology innovation policies, provides strong support for the phased formulation and revision of specific implementation plans, greatly promotes industrial development, and radiates and drives technological breakthroughs in many frontier fields. Therefore, accelerating the institutionalization of scientific and technological decision-making consultation is not only an effective measure to ensure the consistency of scientific and strategic direction of scientific and technological decision-making, but also a practical path to promote industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation.

In the process of building a scientific and technological decision-making consultation system, local governments should adopt a "dual synergy" strategy of strengthening horizontal coordination among government departments and vertical coordination among innovation subjects.

• First, we can consider implementing the inter-ministerial joint conference system in the field of science and technology, setting up a science and technology innovation policy office, substantively reshaping the organizational structure, integrating the functions of innovation departments across borders, and leading multiple departments to jointly formulate a complete science budget.
• The second is to unite the main leaders of various departments to set up a science and technology committee, act as a "virtual institution" to coordinate cross-departmental science and technology plans and the scientific research needs of various industrial departments, strengthen the overall coordination of financial science and technology plans, gather and solve the problem of "fragmentation" of scientific and technological resources, and promote the overall promotion of scientific and technological innovation.
• The third is to strengthen the vertical coordination between the government, universities, scientific research institutions, and enterprises, and establish a science and technology advisory committee composed of experts in the fields of science and technology, industry, investment, and law, and strengthen the use of "external brains" to undertake the functions of docking various departments and industrial needs, providing scientific and technological strategic consulting, and participating in project selection, so as to establish a regular and normalized consultation mechanism for entrepreneurs, experts, venture capitalists and the government.

2. Strengthen policy guidance and build a whole-process scientific and technological innovation policy system

The science and technology innovation policy is a powerful boost for the formation and development of new quality productivity, and can guide, support, promote and coordinate the formation of new quality productivity by optimizing the allocation of innovation resources, guiding and standardizing market behavior, and creating an open innovation ecology. Therefore, the construction of a scientific and technological innovation policy system needs to keep up with the pace of the times, grasp the general trend, and make forward-looking planning, comprehensively covering multiple dimensions such as scientific and technological innovation strategy and planning, cultivation of innovation subjects, allocation of innovation elements, industrial innovation and development, regional innovation layout, innovation environment optimization, and open innovation ecology, so as to provide all-round support for scientific and technological innovation to connect with industrial innovation.

Combined with the current situation at home and abroad, creating a scientific and technological innovation policy system of "full chain, full factor, and full process" is a necessary means for the government to optimize the allocation of scientific and technological resources, empower the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and stimulate the vitality of innovation subjects.

• The first is to take into account the overall planning and comprehensive layout of the innovation chain. In accordance with the whole chain of "discovery, invention, industry, talent, and ecology", the plan category is set up to build a scientific and technological innovation policy system, so as to realize the full coverage of scientific research activities from the discovery of scientific problems to the solution of practical problems, and ensure the integrated organization and implementation.
• The second is integration and optimization to avoid duplication and waste of resources. Based on the whole-process innovation ecological chain of "basic research + technical research + industrialization of achievements + science and technology finance + talent support", the projects with unclear positioning, repeated intersection and poor implementation effect are adjusted and optimized to solve the problem of "fragmentation" of resource allocation.
• The third is to focus on key points and highlight scientific research plans in key areas. Guided by industrial needs, we will integrate technical research projects, form special plans for fields, and specialize in leading industrial development-oriented projects to extend the chain and strengthen the chain and integrated basic research projects, so as to promote the "new" of traditional industries and strategic emerging industries, and promote the "creation of nothing" in future industries.

3. Strengthen the organization of scientific research and promote the empowerment of scientific and technological achievements in an organized manner

The "new" of new quality productivity is reflected in the two-wheel drive of "science and technology + industry". The transformation of scientific and technological achievements essentially reflects the effective docking between the supply of science and technology and the market demand, and the organized promotion of the "scientific research + achievement transformation" model can strengthen the effective supply capacity of scientific and technological innovation, give birth to more breakthroughs from "0 to 1 to N", and improve the level of "quality" through the catalysis of "new", and then promote the development of "new" with the deepening of "quality", form a virtuous circle of demand driving supply and supply creating demand, and create new advantages and new engines for development.

In the context of scientific and technological blockade and technological decoupling, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements is the key to achieving scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance. Forward-looking layout of cutting-edge technologies, collaborative development of key core technologies, promotion of the transformation of original and disruptive scientific and technological achievements, and finally realize the leap from "test line" to "production line" is the key driving force to achieve the growth of new quality productivity, but also the only way to cultivate and develop new quality productivity.

To promote the construction of a modern industrial system empowered by scientific and technological achievements in an organized manner, it is necessary to take into account "free exploration" and "application orientation", and promote the strategic coordination of basic research and applied research.

• The first is to strengthen high-quality supply and open up a "new track" for new quality productivity. Carrying out "no-man's land innovation" is an important support for China to enter the forefront of innovative countries, and provide a "new source" for the development of new quality productivity through forward-looking layout of future industries.
• The second is to build a professional platform to provide a "new bridge" for new quality productivity. Priority will be given to strategic emerging industries, and a number of large-scale, specialized, and capitalized new R&D institutions integrating technology development, achievement transformation, business incubation, technical services, and financing support will be built to provide full-cycle services for the formation of new quality productivity.
• The third is to promote the integration of production, education and research to provide "new scenarios" for new quality productivity. Guided by the needs of enterprises, we support enterprises to "make lists" around technical bottlenecks and special technical problems, and the government "sets the topic", and leading enterprises take the lead in forming an innovation consortium of "industrial departments + colleges and universities + research institutions + enterprises". At the same time, establish a new model of joint and order-based technology research and development, and encourage universities and "specialized, special and new" enterprises to jointly "propositional" research.

Stay tuned for other research findings from CUHK Consulting Group, and we look forward to sharing more insights and strategies on the new ecosystem in the technology industry.
