Crossing the gap from 1 to 10 empowers thousands of industries.
CCTV News:Let’s look at the series of reports of "High-quality Development Research Bank". If basic research is a breakthrough from 0 to 1, then the industrialization of scientific research results is a leap from 1 to 10. In the process of high-quality development, it is very important to realize this leap. Facing the gap between scientific research and industry, Shanghai, which has strong scientific research strength, is looking for a way to solve it. Recently, Pudong New Area has released a list of the supply and demand sides of scientific research transformation. What’s the effect? Let’s watch the reporter’s investigation together.
When the reporter came to Shanghai Pudong New Area Science and Technology Commission, the staff were busy sorting out the latest docking situation. A few months ago, they launched a public service platform to collect technology and innovation needs for the whole society. Unexpectedly, more than 120 items were collected soon.
Enterprises need core technology, but they can’t find innovative resources. Scientific research institutions have innovative achievements, but they don’t know how to transform them. Even Shanghai, the "capital of innovation", is facing this practical problem. The heads of some scientific research institutions frankly told reporters that the crux of the problem lies in the imbalance between supply and demand of innovative resources.
How to get through the blocking point and cross the gap from academic to industrial? Shanghai established the Achievement Transformation Center of China Academy of Engineering, opened large scientific facilities to large enterprises, and built embedded innovation spaces in science and technology zones such as Lingang and Zhangjiang, which awakened a large number of sleeping scientific research resources.
In order to help enterprises accurately find the source of innovation, at the beginning of this year, Pudong New Area publicly collected the demand for scientific and technological innovation for enterprises in the fields of information technology, biomedicine and artificial intelligence for the first time, formed a "list" of scientific research projects, published it on public platforms, and docked the corresponding enterprises or research institutes by "revealing the list".
A platform to build a bridge of "two-way going"
In just a few months, seven major scientific research projects have been achieved, and the role played by this "list" cannot be underestimated. So, what is the current progress of the first batch of projects? What is the story behind their "two-way trip"? Continue to look at the reporter’s investigation.
This docking is undertaken by the Yangtze River Delta National Technology Innovation Center. When the reporter came to the China Innovation Center, he was catching up with the first batch of projects in-depth docking, and talked about topics such as joint research and talent training. The two sides talked endlessly.
Yang Weizhong is the head of a chemical fiber manufacturing enterprise. Because a key technology has not been solved, his industrial renewal has been stagnant. This time, he issued a scientific research demand with a try attitude. I didn’t expect to get a response from a professional research institute in Jiangsu three days later, and the scientific research results that the other party had painstakingly studied for more than a year also had a place to use.
Guochuang Center is a national scientific research and innovation platform with rich innovation resources. Here, the reporter saw many industrialization achievements. However, the relevant person in charge told reporters with regret that many scientific research results are still idle on the bookshelf.
The transformation from technology to industry requires deep cooperation and repeated polishing between scientific research institutes and enterprises. This process is long and trivial. Without a good cooperation mechanism, it often fails on the way. As an important platform for Industry-University-Research’s integration in the Yangtze River Delta region, the Innovation Center is building a variety of new R&D carriers to help scientific research institutions, enterprises and even the government adopt various modes of cooperation.
Cross-border integration to create a "tropical rainforest" innovative ecology
From the reporter’s investigation, we can easily see that once the supply and demand of scientific research and industry are blocked, it will stimulate new impetus and even produce new industries and tracks. It is precisely because of this that Shanghai Pudong is accelerating cross-border integration, creating a "tropical rain forest"-style innovative ecology and accelerating the layout of future industries such as artificial intelligence.
In Shanghai Institute of Advanced Studies, Zhejiang University, a research on new drugs is under way. Different from the traditional cytological research, researchers use artificial intelligence technology to analyze the protein structure of bacteria. Team members come from computer, physics, biology and other disciplines. Interdisciplinary research like this has been widely carried out in many fields.
Relying on the interdisciplinary research platform based on computing, Shanghai Pudong is laying out the artificial intelligence industry, and through the opening of innovation centers by large enterprises, it will form a collaborative innovation ecology in which large, medium and small enterprises are United and Industry-University-Research is integrated, so as to accelerate the transformation of scientific research into technology and empower thousands of industries.
Not long ago, Pudong also opened the intelligent networked automobile test demonstration zone to the society.
CCTV reporter:The road around me is the first open test road for self-driving cars in the central city of a megacity in China. At the scene, we saw that intelligent networked cars were tested on the road from time to time. This road is equipped with complex road conditions and multiple traffic lights, which can meet the application of multiple scenarios including intelligent driving and intelligent parking.
In the subsequent experience, the reporter learned that this section of road can not only meet the technical test requirements, but also be standardized in terms of road rights and driving rules, and constantly meet the needs of industrial innovation and application.
In addition to "future cars", Pudong also takes six hard-core industries such as "innovative drugs", "China Core", "intelligent manufacturing", "blue sky dream" and "data port" as the main direction in the future, and accelerates the promotion of all these key industries to the scale of "100 billion".
Villi, Director of Science, Technology and Economic Committee of Pudong New Area:Give full play to the strategic role of scientific and technological innovation, build a innovation chain from basic research, technical research to the transformation and application of achievements, lay out new tracks around five areas, such as future information, future health, future intelligence, future energy and future space, cultivate future industrial clusters and promote high-quality economic development.
Try first, break the ice. Strong scientific research strength has given Shanghai Pudong a foundation from 0 to 1. Nowadays, as a leading area of socialist modernization, it is accelerating the deep integration of innovation chain and industrial chain, and striving to cross the gap from 1 to 10. We have reason to believe that with the continuous improvement of innovation ecology, Pudong will achieve a continuous breakthrough from 10 to 100 in the future.
