Our party has always attached great importance to scientific and technological progress and innovation. From "marching into science" to "science and technology are the primary productive forces", from "rejuvenating the country through science and education" to "improving the ability of independent innovation and building an innovative country", the Party has led China's scientific and technological undertakings to explore a profound and promising road of independent innovation with China characteristics in practice, showing strong vitality and exuberant vitality, showing the bright prospects of China's economic, social and scientific and technological development, and becoming an important part of the theoretical system of Scientific Outlook on Development and Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has made a major strategic decision to enhance the ability of independent innovation and build an innovative country, formulated and implemented the Outline of the National Medium-and Long-Term Science and Technology Development Plan (2006-2020), and clearly put forward the guiding principles of scientific and technological work in the new period of "independent innovation, key leapfrogging, supporting development and leading the future". The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly pointed out that improving the ability of independent innovation and building an innovative country is the core of the national development strategy and the key to improving the comprehensive national strength, and stressed that we should adhere to the road of independent innovation with China characteristics and implement the enhancement of independent innovation ability in all aspects of modernization. In 2008, China took the support of science and technology as one of the four major measures to deal with the international financial crisis, and the leading position of science and technology in overcoming practical difficulties and creating future prosperity was further strengthened. The Fifth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly pointed out that the most fundamental thing to accelerate the transformation of economic development mode is to rely on the power of science and technology, and the most crucial thing is to greatly improve the ability of independent innovation. In July of 20 12, the CPC Central Committee held a national conference on scientific and technological innovation, which made overall arrangements for deepening the reform of the scientific and technological system and accelerating the construction of the national innovation system, and put forward the strategic requirements for innovation-driven development. Implementing the strategy of innovation-driven development has been written in the report of the 18 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. This is a major choice made by our party in the critical period of China's reform and development, which has opened a new journey for China to accelerate the construction of an innovative country and move towards a strong country in science and technology.
Along the road of independent innovation with China characteristics, China has made great achievements in science and technology and achieved remarkable results in building an innovative country. The 10 year since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is an innovation in foundry industry. In the face of major strategic needs such as economic development, improvement of people's livelihood, social harmony and national security, science and technology have played an important supporting and leading role. It is an innovative sword casting in 10, with major breakthroughs in manned spaceflight, lunar exploration, manned deep diving, supercomputers and high-speed railways, and a number of key core technologies and original achievements with great influence have emerged one after another; This is an innovation in 65,438+00 years. Scientific and technological reform has been steadily advanced, and the ability of independent innovation has been significantly improved. China's overall scientific and technological strength has reached a new level, approaching major developed countries, and even becoming a leader in some aspects; Innovation is 10 years. The scientific quality of the whole people has been continuously improved, and the innovation policy system, cultural environment and social atmosphere have been continuously optimized. Practice has proved that the road of independent innovation with China characteristics is the correct one that conforms to China's national conditions and the law of scientific and technological economic development.
In the new development period, we must fully realize that building an innovative country and building a well-off society in an all-round way are the same direction, and the effect of innovation-driven development directly affects the effect of accelerating the transformation of economic development mode and promoting economic and social scientific development in China. At present, China has been an innovative country for less than 10 years. Time is short, the task is arduous and the mission is glorious. We should conscientiously study and implement the spirit of the 18th CPC National Congress, devote ourselves to the new practice of adhering to the road of independent innovation with China characteristics, and strive to achieve new and significant achievements in innovation-driven development. We must always base ourselves on China, fully stimulate the innovation and creativity of scientific and technological personnel, regard independent innovation as the strategic basis of scientific and technological development, and provide an inexhaustible source of technology for innovation-driven development. At the same time, we will continue to expand open cooperation in science and technology, plan and promote independent innovation with a global perspective, improve the ability of original innovation, integrated innovation and introduction, digestion, absorption and re-innovation, pay more attention to collaborative innovation, and enhance China's scientific and technological level in open cooperation.
Second, to implement the innovation-driven development strategy, we must focus on strengthening the strategic support of scientific and technological innovation to improve social productivity and comprehensive national strength.
In contemporary China, the essential requirement of adhering to development is to adhere to scientific development. Taking scientific development as the theme and accelerating the transformation of economic development mode as the main line is a strategic choice related to the overall development of our country. We must focus on strengthening the new impetus of innovation-driven development, accelerate the transformation of economic development mode, continuously improve the quality and efficiency of development, and promote the development of economic and social sciences.
Internationally, the global new scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation have given birth to new breakthroughs. The speed of global knowledge creation and technological innovation has obviously accelerated, and the great energy of the new scientific and technological revolution is accumulating. Industrial transformation based on new technological breakthroughs is accelerating, which is profoundly changing the world's scientific, technological, economic and social development model. The accelerated outbreak of the international financial crisis has given birth to a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. Scientific and technological innovation has become a decisive force for economic restructuring and sustained and healthy development. Many countries have promoted innovation to the strategic core level of national development, and the world has entered an unprecedented innovation-intensive era. We must seize the opportunity and meet the challenge more consciously, and open up a broad space for the continuous improvement of social productive forces with the new achievements of scientific and technological innovation.
From the domestic perspective, innovation drive has become the "most fundamental and critical" force to accelerate the transformation of economic development mode. China, with less per capita resources and fragile ecological environment, is under the pressure of huge population size and sustained and rapid development, and is facing severe challenges such as energy conservation and emission reduction, and coping with climate change. After years of hard work, China has made historic achievements in economic and social development. However, the problems of unbalanced, uncoordinated and unsustainable development are still outstanding, and the economic structure has become a fundamental and overall problem. The problem of economic structure is closely related to the ability of scientific and technological innovation and the level of talent team. If the innovation ability, especially scientific and technological innovation ability, is not obviously improved, it will be difficult to truly complete the adjustment of economic structure and the transformation of development mode, thus affecting the development of economic and social sciences. Therefore, we must closely rely on scientific and technological innovation, constantly improve the contribution rate of scientific and technological progress to economic development, give full play to the strategic supporting role of scientific and technological innovation in improving social productivity and comprehensive national strength, and realize innovation-driven development.
Promoting innovation-driven development and promoting scientific and technological strength is the basic premise, and promoting the improvement of independent innovation ability is the key. It is necessary to thoroughly implement the three planning outlines of science and technology, education and talents, thoroughly implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, strengthening the country through talents and sustainable development, closely integrate scientific and technological progress with the national development strategy, economic and social development goals and the people's growing material and cultural needs, base on long-term and advanced deployment, strengthen basic research, cutting-edge technology research and social public welfare technology research, improve the level of scientific research and the ability to transform achievements, seize the commanding heights of scientific and technological development, and continuously consolidate China's transformation from a scientific and technological power to a scientific and technological power.
Promoting innovation-driven development, enhancing economic strength and changing development mode are the primary tasks. We should pay more attention to the deployment of innovation chain around the needs of industrial development, implement major national science and technology projects, break through major technical bottlenecks, give full play to the demonstration role of independent innovation demonstration zones and high-tech zones, and foster the development of strategic emerging industries. Strengthen technology integration and business model innovation, accelerate the breakthrough of common technology and the transfer and transformation of achievements, and promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries.
Promoting innovation-driven development and improving comprehensive national strength is the fundamental purpose. In the new era, the demand for science and technology in China's economic and social development is increasingly diversified, and the fields of scientific and technological work are getting wider and wider, and the responsibilities are getting bigger and bigger. It is necessary to closely focus on major strategic needs such as agricultural development, improvement of people's livelihood, social management, cultural prosperity, ecological civilization and national security, fully stimulate the innovation and creativity of the whole society, promote the simultaneous development of new industrialization, informationization, urbanization and agricultural modernization with China characteristics, and better serve scientific development and social harmony.
Third, to implement the innovation-driven development strategy, we must continuously deepen the reform of the science and technology system and accelerate the construction of the national innovation system.
China's rapid development in the past 30 years depends on reform and opening up, and China's future development must also unswervingly rely on reform and opening up. The fundamental driving force for fully releasing the vitality of innovation-driven development and continuously enhancing the ability of innovation-driven development also lies in reform and opening up. Studying and implementing the spirit of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China requires us to persist in further implementing the spirit of reform and innovation in the field of science and technology, make new and significant progress in the reform and development of science and technology, and accelerate the construction of an innovative country.
The reform of science and technology system has been accompanied by the whole process of China's reform and opening up. Over the years, especially since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has taken a series of major measures and made a series of major breakthroughs around promoting the integration of science and technology and economy. The market-oriented innovation pattern is becoming more and more perfect in development, and the basic role of market in allocating scientific and technological resources is constantly strengthening. Technological innovation, knowledge innovation, national defense science and technology innovation, regional innovation and the construction of science and technology intermediary service system have been comprehensively promoted, and the construction of national innovation system has made remarkable progress. The policy environment for encouraging scientific and technological personnel to innovate and start businesses has been continuously optimized, and the combination of science and technology and finance has become increasingly close. This is a fundamental change brought about by the reform of China's science and technology system. But at the same time, we should also see that in the face of the new situation and new requirements, some outstanding problems still restrict scientific and technological innovation, especially the problem of combining science and technology with economy has not been fundamentally solved. On the one hand, the demand for scientific and technological innovation in economic and social development is still insufficient; On the other hand, the ability to support and lead scientific and technological innovation needs to be further improved. The ability of scientific and technological innovation is not strong, and the foundation of scientific and technological innovation is not firm.
The fundamental way to solve the outstanding problems that restrict scientific and technological innovation lies in deepening the reform of scientific and technological system. The National Science and Technology Innovation Conference and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Science and Technology System and Accelerating the Construction of the National Innovation System, on the basis of inheriting the Outline of the National Medium and Long-term Science and Technology Development Plan, put forward the overall thinking, objectives, tasks and policy measures for the reform and development of science and technology in the new period. The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China further emphasized the need to deepen the reform of the science and technology system. We must resolutely implement the major decision-making arrangements of the central authorities and effectively accelerate the pace of scientific and technological reform and development.
We always take solving the problem of combining science and technology with economy and enhancing innovation ability as the central task, and strive to build a market-oriented technological innovation system combining Industry-University-Research. Accelerate the establishment of institutional mechanisms for leading industrial technology research and innovation, and improve the market-oriented innovation pattern. Actively support the development of small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises. Improve the knowledge innovation system, strengthen the organic connection between basic research, applied research, technological innovation and application promotion, promote the open sharing of scientific and technological resources, strengthen overall coordination and collaborative innovation, and improve the overall efficiency of the national innovation system. Deepen the reform of science and technology management system and promote the scientific management of science and technology and efficient use of resources. Coordinate the development of all kinds of innovative talents, improve the talent incentive system, build a team of high-level innovative and entrepreneurial talents, promote science and technology with talents, and promote industry and economy with talents.
Improve and implement the supporting policies of the national medium-and long-term science and technology development plan, summarize and promote relevant pilot policies, and actively study and formulate relevant policies and measures to deepen the reform of the science and technology system and accelerate the construction of the national innovation system. Improve the evaluation criteria, incentive mechanism and transformation mechanism of scientific and technological innovation, and constantly form a correct orientation to encourage innovation. We will further implement the intellectual property strategy and strengthen intellectual property protection. Constantly improve the system of science and technology policies and regulations, innovate the legal environment and diversify the investment system of science and technology innovation. Vigorously advocate innovation and glory, strengthen scientific and moral construction, improve the scientific and cultural quality of the whole people, and cultivate innovative cultural soil. Constantly optimize the policy environment for scientific and technological innovation, condense the wisdom and strength of the whole society into innovation and development, and strive to achieve innovation-driven development.
