There are 13 Chinese cities. San Francisco returns to the top of the list. Top 100 global science and technology innovation centers: Chinese and American cities account for 40% of the list.
From basic research, industrial technology, to innovative economy and innovation environment, based on this first-level indicator system, multi-dimensional data evaluates the top 100 global science and technology innovation centers. Which countries have the most cities on the list?
On the afternoon of the 17th, with the launch of the "Shangxin Think Tank" Global Science and Technology Innovation Index and Big Data Joint Laboratory, the Chinese and English bilingual version of the "2023 Global Science and Technology Innovation Center Evaluation Report" was officially disclosed. The evaluation shows that from the top 100 comprehensive city rankings, 26, 13 and 37 cities in the United States, China and Europe are respectively on the list. The United States, China and Europe have become the three important poles of global science and technology innovation, accounting for more than 3/4 of all seats. Among them, cities in the United States and China account for nearly 40% of the list.
This year's evaluation report with the theme of "Race and Competition for Heads" shows that the top ten cities are: San Francisco-San Jose, New York-Newark, Tokyo, London, Beijing, Paris, Boston, Shanghai, Seoul-Incheon, and Chicago .
Comprehensive ranking of TOP50 global science and technology innovation center cities in 2023.
Judging from the distribution of cities on the list, the cities on the list in the United States are relatively evenly distributed, with all ranking segments on the list, reflecting a high overall average level; among the cities on the list in China, those who "go north to Shenzhen and Hong Kong" are among the top 20 cities in the world for science and technology innovation. , this number is second only to the United States. These leading cities show high competitiveness, and other cities are also accelerating to catch up; European cities are mostly concentrated in the middle of the top 100 list.
Li Xinxin, deputy director of the Information Technology Research Institute of the Shanghai Economic Information Center, interpreted that at present, the competition pattern among the top 10 cities in the global science and technology innovation center is relatively stable, with high-level research institutions and leading technology companies becoming the focus and main force of the competition. Top scientific research institutes The continuous accumulation of basic research links and the accumulation of innovative R&D and innovative elements of leading enterprises have greatly boosted the city's scientific and technological competitiveness. For example, San Francisco-San Jose returned to the top of the global science and technology innovation city rankings this year after being surpassed by New York-Newark in 2021; Tokyo surpassed London for the first time and ranked third in the world.
The report shows that China's status and role in the global innovation landscape have continued to increase. It is not only an important participant in international cutting-edge innovation, but also an important contributor to jointly solving global problems. Chinese cities are all present in the TOP20 in basic research, industrial technology, innovative economy, innovative environment and other dimensions. In the basic research dimension, Beijing as the representative surpassed San Francisco-San Jose, Boston, London, New York-Newark, etc. and reached the top. Overall, this year, China added five new cities to the top 100 in basic research scores, among which Nanjing, Wuhan, and Guangzhou ranked among the top 20 for the first time.
In 2023, the comprehensive ranking of global science and technology innovation center cities ranges from 51st to 100th.
Among them, Shanghai ranked 8th overall, consistent with last year. As one of the cities with large scientific facilities, Shanghai ranks 6th in the world in terms of basic research, higher than global cities such as Paris, Tokyo, and Washington. Its innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem leads Asia, ranking first among cities with global innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems. 9th, higher than Tokyo, Seoul-Incheon and other leading science and technology innovation cities in Asia. At the same time, Shanghai still needs to be further strengthened in cultivating technology "engine" enterprises with global influence.
A reporter from Jiefang Daily and Shangguan News learned that based on the continuation of the evaluation framework of the past five years, new indicators reflecting innovative development such as artificial intelligence have been added this year. The relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Municipal Development and Reform Commission stated that the rapid iteration of large AI models and the integration and innovation of technology and data are triggering changes in the paradigm of scientific and technological innovation. In October this year, the municipal government issued a new round of new infrastructure "Action Plan" which clearly stated that it will focus on intelligent computing. It will focus on deploying "new networks, new computing power, new data, new facilities, and new terminals" to respond to technological trends and development needs such as power, large models, and data elements to provide facility support for responding to changes in the technology industry and exploring new paradigms for scientific research. The Municipal Economic Information Center took the lead in signing the Shanghai Public Policy Big Data Joint Laboratory, focusing on exploring data-supported decision-making services.
Yu Wenkai, director of the Shanghai Economic Information Center, revealed that the newly launched "Shangxin Data 2.0 Platform" has access to national industrial and commercial enterprise information, municipal economic operation statistics, UnionPay consumption, housing transactions, recruitment data, shipping index and other high-frequency data for more than 17 years Billions of items. The platform has completed the development of three major functions: data asset management, dynamic monitoring display and researcher assistant. It uses the platform's high-frequency data sources to launch high-frequency data products such as economic data express, industrial data express and science and technology innovation data express.
