On July 19th, the Songjiang District Party Building Leading Artificial Intelligence Industry Cluster Work Promotion Conference and the "AI Songjiang, Humanistic Dongjing, and Creative Future" Science and Technology Activity Month Launching Ceremony were held in Dongjing Town, exploring the establishment of Party organizations on industrial clusters, closely linking upstream and downstream enterprises in the artificial intelligence industry, and linking the industrial chain and innovation chain through Party building.
At the meeting, a package of favorable policies and measures related to artificial intelligence were released, exploring the use of high-level institutional supply to promote collaborative interaction among innovation entities. Through more effective policy guidance, more application scenarios were opened up, the cultivation of enterprise innovation ecology was strengthened, the ability of scientific and technological innovation policy sources was strengthened, and a competitive artificial intelligence industry cluster was created.
Focusing on building innovative capabilities
At the meeting, a ceremony was held to release the official account of the artificial intelligence industry cluster in Songjiang District to promote innovation and cooperation in the industry cluster. The official account will show the latest developments of the party committee of the artificial intelligence industry cluster in Songjiang District, the innovative achievements of outstanding enterprises, and the application of artificial intelligence technology in various fields. At the same time, the official account will also regularly release information such as industrial policies and training activities.
It is understood that the Party Committee of the Industrial Cluster is an innovative practice of Songjiang District based on the construction of the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor in the Yangtze River Delta, building the Party organization on the industrial cluster. In the next stage, the artificial intelligence industrial cluster in Songjiang District will continue to rely on the official account platform, regional forums and other carriers, play an important role in improving the resilience and security level of the industrial chain, supply chain, promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and party building innovation, encourage enterprise party organizations and party members to actively participate in the "unveiling" of key technologies, and achieve more breakthroughs in original scientific and technological achievements from "0" to "1".

Wei Ming, Deputy Secretary of the Songjiang District Party Committee, stated that we need to deepen the party building joint construction mechanism of "leading by leaders, project promotion, and block linkage", and take improving service levels as an important lever to deepen the party building of industrial clusters. This will effectively promote the deep integration of government departments, enterprises, and universities in production and operation, industrial transformation and upgrading, and the transformation of industry, academia, research and application.
Further activating innovative elements
At the meeting, the Dongjing Science and Technology Cultural Tourism Route was released, and the launch ceremony of the "Humanity Dongjing, Creating an Intelligent Future" learning workshop was held in cooperation with universities. It connected innovative resource elements such as Songjiang University City, actively explored the integration and development of education, technology, and talent, leveraged the advantages of universities gathering in Songjiang University City, and gathered various innovative elements such as "government industry academia research funding".
It is understood that in recent years, Songjiang has taken the pilot project of national industry education integration construction as an opportunity, focusing on key industries such as artificial intelligence, relying on the university resources of Songjiang University City, and using discipline chain, innovation chain, and industry chain coordination as the starting point, to layout a full chain innovation and entrepreneurship system.
In the field of artificial intelligence, Songjiang District encourages various forms of algorithm innovation, chip research and development, computing power improvement, and corpus construction. For example, Shanghai University of Engineering and Technology established the "5G+Artificial Intelligence Joint Innovation Laboratory"; Shanghai Foreign Studies University has established the first corpus research institute in China, focusing on the fields of artificial intelligence such as neurolinguistics, corpus linguistics, computational linguistics, and language intelligence; Shanghai University of International Business and Economics has established the first "Artificial Intelligence and Change Management Research Institute" in China, conducting research on the development strategy of artificial intelligence from the perspective of economic management.

Wei Ming stated that Songjiang District is also promoting a technology joint research and development mechanism, strengthening the G60 Innovation Research Center, establishing and substantively operating the G60 Intellectual Property Protection Cooperation Center, promoting mutual recognition of high-tech enterprises, normalizing the auction of scientific and technological achievements, and allowing for the free flow of scientific and technological innovation factors.
Since the construction of the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor, driven by the birthplace of Songjiang, the R&D investment intensity of the nine cities in the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor has increased from 3% to 3.55%, far exceeding the national average level; The number of PCT international patent applications in nine cities has increased by 1.6 times, accounting for 1/9 of the national total and 2.85% of the global total.
Behind the surge of innovative elements, Songjiang District is accelerating the construction of a new highland for talent aggregation, deepening the implementation of talent policies, fully unleashing the dividends of talent policies in Songjiang New City, further increasing efforts to attract talents and talents nationwide and globally, and continuously optimizing institutional supply in areas such as talent settlement, entry and exit, and public services.
Put effort into innovative applications
The Dongjing Artificial Intelligence Industry Base is an important sector that carries the national strategy of the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor in the Yangtze River Delta. The base is building an interactive communication platform for the artificial intelligence industry, realizing the flow of capital, technology, and talent, and striving to create an artificial intelligence industry cluster development area with a good industrial development ecology, efficient government service ecology, and high-quality talent development ecology. At present, artificial intelligence enterprises such as national level enterprise technology centers, intelligent teaching and examination open platforms, and technology innovation platforms are developing rapidly.

As of the end of 2022, the number of artificial intelligence enterprises in Dongjing has reached 241, forming a complete artificial intelligence industry chain from upstream core component manufacturing to midstream ontology manufacturing, and then to downstream system integration services. A cross-border and open ecosystem is gradually forming.
As an advanced manufacturing hub, Songjiang District has a massive advantage in the field of artificial intelligence applications. According to statistics, there are 1633 industrial enterprises above designated size in Songjiang District, and 1619 local industrial enterprises above designated size, all ranking first in the city; There are 1056 specialized, refined, and innovative enterprises at or above the municipal level, ranking second in the city; Since the beginning of this year, the number of projects approved for the transformation of high-tech achievements has ranked second in the city; There are 81 academician and expert workstations in the entire region, ranking among the top in the city.
Wei Ming stated that through more effective policy guidance, more application scenarios should be opened up, and the cultivation of enterprise innovation ecology should be strengthened. The massive application scenarios should play a driving role in innovation, closely combining "seeing 10 from 0" with "seeing 0 from 10", and closely combining technological breakthroughs, market prospects, and industrial cultivation to achieve efficient coupling between the innovation chain, industrial chain, and value chain.
Creating a Better Innovation Environment
