The trade structure has been optimized and the competitiveness of the international market has been continuously enhanced.
6. National Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone has become an important base for scientific and technological innovation and an important engine for regional economic development. In 2006, the total income and output value of the national high-tech industrial development zone reached 4.3 trillion and 3.6 trillion respectively; Half of the country's high-tech and technology incubators are gathered, and R&D investment accounts for1/3 of the country's total; The number of invention patents in the region is 32,600; The industrial added value created in this area reached 852.05 billion yuan, accounting for 9.4% of the national industrial added value. In the first half of 2007, the national high-tech zone achieved a total operating income of 258,965,438+800 million yuan, a total industrial output value of 265,438+873 million yuan, an industrial added value of 50,265,438+600 million yuan, and foreign exchange earned by export of 96.7 billion US dollars.
7. The scale and intensity of investment in science and technology continued to increase. In 2006, the total expenditure on science and technology in the whole society was 450 billion yuan, and the total expenditure on research and development in the whole society was 3003.438 billion yuan, ranking fifth in the world. The intensity of R&D investment is constantly improving, and the proportion of R&D expenditure in GDP is 1.42%. In the past five years, the national financial investment in science and technology has maintained an average annual growth of 17%, of which the central financial allocation for science and technology reached100097 billion yuan in 2006, an increase of 25.0% over the previous year.
8. China has become a big country in science and technology human resources in the world. In 2005, China's total scientific and technological human resources was about 35 million, ranking 1 in the world. In 2006, the number of full-time R&D personnel in China reached 6.5438+0.5 million/year; A dynamic team of young and middle-aged scientific and technological talents is growing rapidly, with young and middle-aged researchers under 45 accounting for 80% of the total number of researchers; The total number of students in colleges and universities has reached 23 million, which is the country that has trained the most scientific and technological talents in the world.
