News Essay
Suzhou Industrial Park is the first stop of General Secretary Xi Jinping's visit to Jiangsu from July 5 to 7. In this modern park, which brings together nearly 2500 state-level high-tech enterprises, General Secretary Xi Jinping's words are full of encouragement and high expectations: "China's economy to develop upward, achieve high-quality development, and become an economic power, we must rely on science and technology. I have said that the Suzhou Industrial Park should be built into a scientific and technological innovation center with international influence. You undertake such a historical mission, which is both significant and glorious."
Once, there was only Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu; Nowadays, the landmark outside the city of Gusu is also the "extraordinary park" of this "city of innovation". As an important cooperation project between the governments of China and Singapore, Suzhou Industrial Park was founded in 1994. Through reform, mechanism innovation, talent aggregation, industrial exploration, and open cooperation, it has opened up a Xintiandi of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation in a paddy pond. If Hanshan Temple unfolds the history and culture of Jiangnan, Suzhou Industrial Park is writing the "moment" of China's technological self-reliance and self-improvement.
Innovation requires self strengthening courage and belief. Electric drive systems with a capacity of over 100 tons were once monopolized by foreign enterprises for a long time. Now, the "180 ton new energy electric drive system" has been completely independently developed by Suzhou enterprises; The import of high-end CNC machine tools is easily affected by international trade frictions. Currently, the Suzhou Industrial Park presents 100% domestically produced four axis CNC machine tools; Only four companies in the world have the entire industry chain of ocean communication networks, with Suzhou companies among them. On less than 300 square kilometers of land, nearly 2500 national high-tech enterprises and 62 listed companies have gathered, creating a total import and export value of nearly 1.5 trillion US dollars. How can such achievements be achieved? All participants have a strong belief, primary goal, and action standard of technological self-reliance and self-improvement. Local authorities dare to take risks, cadres dare to act, enterprises dare to act, and the masses dare to innovate. They continuously promote the deep integration of industry, academia, and research led by enterprises, continuously improve the level of technological achievement transformation and industrialization, in order to create a thriving innovation ecosystem in front of them.
Innovation requires an open mind and vision. As an intergovernmental project between China and Singapore, Suzhou Industrial Park has accumulated the experience of "bringing in" and honed its ability to "go global" during its development and growth. Through brainstorming, it has accumulated "rules of conduct" that are in line with China's national conditions and have independent characteristics, ultimately forming a platform that gathers international innovation elements. At present, various research and development institutions of international enterprises are also gathered in the park. In the frequent exchanges of an industrial community, talent flow is more efficient, technological cooperation is more precise, industrial integration is more convenient, and the positive spillover of technology can be more fully reflected. Innovation is the goal, openness is the path, and its effects are long-term and systematic, requiring innovators to grasp with a historical and global perspective.
We often say that only innovators advance, only innovators are strong, and only innovators win. This reveals the laws and dynamics of development, and actually expresses the characteristics of innovators. Innovators are called and become innovators precisely because they have the endurance to advance, the belief in strength, and the goal of victory. The pragmatic implementation of the "Thirty Year Plan" in Suzhou Industrial Park, always moving towards the belief and spirit of technological self-reliance and self-improvement, embracing the forefront of world science and technology, and the attitude of self victory first, are all vivid interpretations of this statement. Today, driven by innovation and leading high-quality development, the story of Suzhou Industrial Park is worth reading repeatedly.
