The Yangpu District Committee of the Communist Party of China approved the "Opinions of the Yangpu District Committee on Implementing the Spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 12th Municipal Party Committee, Deepening High level Reform and Opening up, Promoting High quality Development, and Striving to Promote Yangpu's Innovative Development" at yesterday's Yangpu District Committee plenary session, which aims to enhance the technological innovation policy throughout the entire process, enhance the competitiveness of the innovative industry in all aspects, stimulate the growth of the innovative ecosystem through all factors, and demonstrate the attractiveness of the innovative environment in all fields. The core content of the Opinions is the "Four Forces for Innovation".

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Yangpu's innovative development. Yangpu, which has undergone innovation and transformation, has achieved rapid changes in economic development, urban landscape, and people's living standards. In recent years, the average annual growth rate of intelligent intensive modern service industry and strategic emerging industries has exceeded 10%, and their driving role in economic development is increasingly strengthened. Last year, the GDP growth rate in Yangpu area ranked first in the city; From January to May this year, the revenue of the information technology service industry, represented by the online new economy, increased by 40.1% year-on-year, ranking first in the central urban area.

However, the world's unprecedented changes are accelerating, and a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is deepening. The connotation and extension of "innovation" have undergone profound changes compared to 20 years ago. Standing at a new historical node and facing potential bottleneck constraints, Yangpu must deeply re-examine the logic of high-quality development and make timely adjustments to the path of innovation and restart.

At this point, the proposal of the "Four Forces for Innovation" undoubtedly timely clarified the development logic and practical measures for Yangpu's next steps. From the interpretation of the "Opinions" by the district committee plenary session, the proposal of the "Four Forces" reflects a high position of serving the overall situation and a strong awareness of targeted issues.

For example, in terms of technological innovation strategy, Xue Kan, Secretary of the Yangpu District Party Committee, said that Yangpu has made a series of important progress in technological innovation, but there are still problems such as insufficient iconic original achievements, relatively insufficient breakthroughs in key core technologies, and relatively lagging development in cutting-edge areas in the future. In response to this, the Opinion specifically proposes to serve as the "logistics minister" for major scientific and technological innovation in local universities and colleges, promote the construction of "basic research special zones", strengthen international innovation resource docking, and cultivate a number of high-quality incubators, build university science and technology park demonstration parks, explore the "upstairs innovation, downstairs entrepreneurship" model, etc., to smooth the path of scientific and technological achievement incubation and transformation, achieve positive feedback of the "three innovation loops" of original innovation, innovation transformation, and innovation application, and enable universities and colleges to form more and stronger overall spillover effects on regional development.

In terms of competitiveness in innovative industries, the Yangpu District Committee also clearly pointed out that Yangpu has gathered 330 national and municipal level "specialized, refined, unique, and new" enterprises, and has cultivated over 1200 high-tech enterprises, all ranking first in the central urban area of the city. However, there are still problems with small, scattered, and weak innovative industries, and there are not enough benchmark and leading new generation leading enterprises. This is about how much of the innovation policy source can be transformed into real productivity. The Opinions proposed that we should give play to the basic supporting role of "intelligence+" and "Internet plus", and focus on building three hundred billion level industrial clusters, including online new economy, intelligent manufacturing, and creative design.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Pu did not form path dependence because of the successful introduction of several Internet head platform enterprises, but dared to jump out of the "comfort zone", focusing on four emerging areas, namely, forward-looking layout of scientific and technological services, artificial intelligence, life health, green and low-carbon. In the current era of paradigm shift in the global technology industry, this undoubtedly aligns more with the fundamental spirit of innovative development.

The Opinion also provides detailed explanations on the growth potential of innovation ecology and the attractiveness of innovation environment, aiming to solve the problems of insufficient innovation vitality and good innovation conditions. Overall, the "four forces of innovation" are not independent of each other, but complement and promote each other, reflecting the organic unity of technological logic, market logic, and governance logic.

For Yangpu, innovation is the foundation and greatest responsibility for serving the national strategy and the overall development of the city; Promoting the leap of regional innovation momentum from "existence" to "strength" is a practical requirement of adhering to the "four priorities", serving the construction of Shanghai's "five centers", and strengthening the "four major functions". This means that only by grasping the internal mechanism of the "four forces of innovation" and implementing the various requirements of the "four forces of innovation", can Yangpu deepen high-level reform and opening up, promote high-quality development with more motivation, sustainability, and support.
