Recently, the 2023 Pujiang Innovation Forum was held in Shanghai, with the theme of "An Open Innovation Ecology: Innovation and Global Links". According to reports, this forum has released 3381 innovative demands, involving more than 2000 global enterprises such as COMAC Aircraft Innovation Valley, and intends to invest over 25 billion yuan.
The Pujiang Innovation Forum has been held for 16 sessions, gradually expanding its popularity and influence, and creating the "Chinese brand" of the International Innovation Forum. Since its establishment, the Pujiang Innovation Forum has always focused on innovation as its core keyword, actively shaping the "origin" of cutting-edge innovative ideas, the "compass" of world scientific and technological development, the "booster" of international scientific and technological cooperation, the "gravitational field" of global innovative talents, and the "hub" of global technological transfer. It has written vivid annotations for China to continue promoting international scientific and technological exchange and cooperation, and building an open innovation ecosystem.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that we must adhere to the principle that technology is the primary productive force, talent is the primary resource, and innovation is the primary driving force. We must deeply implement the strategies of revitalizing the country through science and education, strengthening the country through talent, and driving development through innovation, open up new fields and tracks for development, and continuously shape new driving forces and advantages for development. In recent years, China has made significant achievements in manned spaceflight, lunar exploration, deep sea exploration, supercomputers, satellite navigation, quantum information, nuclear power technology, large aircraft manufacturing, biomedicine, and other areas, all of which are related to innovation and breakthroughs in key core technologies.
At present, China has entered the ranks of innovative countries. A noteworthy "hard indicator" is that China's ranking in global innovation indicators has jumped from 34th in 2012 to 11th in 2022. The technological strength has significantly increased, technological innovation leads industrial transformation and development, technological application empowers regional development, and technological innovation achievements continuously meet people's needs for a better life. These technological development achievements are visible, tangible, and felt.
Innovation is endless. Currently, we place technological innovation at the core of the overall development of the country. How to accelerate the realization of high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, how to solve the bottleneck problem in more fields, and how to better improve people's well-being still need to seek answers from technology and drive innovation.
Striving for innovation is striving for development, and striving for innovation is striving for the future. The importance of innovation cannot be overemphasized, but innovation is never generated out of thin air. Innovation requires the environment, conditions, engines to start, torches to ignite, and ecology to nurture.
In recent years, China has continuously deepened the reform of its scientific and technological system. Accelerating the pace of scientific and technological system reform, breaking down the concepts and institutional barriers that constrain innovation driven development, can inspire more innovative entities to work hard and overcome difficulties, and can more effectively promote scientific and technological innovation, allowing for the continuous emergence of scientific and technological achievements. Technological breakthroughs should adhere to a problem oriented approach and focus on the most urgent and pressing issues. The 3381 innovation needs released by the 2023 Pujiang Innovation Forum not only demonstrate the unique advantages and strong charm of the forum, but also reflect that innovation never lacks needs. The key is how to guide and meet needs. In recent years, China has established and held diversified innovation forums, which have played both the role of platforms and boosters, playing an important role in connecting communication. Taking the 2023 Pujiang Innovation Forum as an example, this forum established the Global Entrepreneurship and Investment Conference for the first time, attracting more than 1000 entrepreneurial projects, more than 500 incubation institutions, and more than 200 investment institutions from around the world to participate. Building a bridge for the project, connecting institutions, and adding fuel to innovation is exactly where the value of the platform lies.
It should be mentioned that emphasizing independent innovation does not mean closing the door to self innovation. Adhering to open cooperation, promoting international exchanges, and combining "bringing in" and "going out" is also an indispensable condition for innovation, a prerequisite for achieving higher-level breakthroughs, and a necessary obligation to optimize the environment for scientific and technological innovation.
