People's Financial Review: Platform Economy Provides New Engine for Innovative Development Enterprises | Technology | Innovation
Not long ago, the 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Conference was held in Shanghai, and more than 30 AI big models that made a concentrated appearance attracted attention. These AI models that condense cutting-edge technologies, many of which are created by domestic platform enterprises, have become vivid epitomes of the platform economy providing new engines for innovation and development.
Enterprises are the main body of innovation, and platform enterprises are an important force in promoting technological innovation. Data shows that from 2020 to 2022, the top 10 platform enterprises in China's market value have accumulated R&D investment of over 500 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 15%; In 2020, Chinese enterprises will account for 40% of the top ten invention patents in the global Internet field. From assisting in the research and commercialization of domestically produced high-performance AI chips, to investing in supporting the development of mature process characteristic processes, wafer level packaging testing, and other businesses, to independently developing unmanned delivery vehicle related technical indicators that reach international leading levels, platform enterprises strengthen their technological innovation applications, enhance their market competitiveness, and also promote high-level technological self-reliance and efficiency, promoting the improvement of the real economy.
Currently, the new generation of digital technology is the most active field of innovation, and the digital economy is becoming a key force in restructuring global factor resources, reshaping the global economic structure, and changing the global competitive landscape. To strengthen, optimize, and expand China's digital economy, it is urgent to accelerate technological innovation and iteration in cloud computing, big data services, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, blockchain, and other fields. In this regard, platform enterprises have great potential and broad development space. In the process of continuing to seize the development opportunities of the digital economy with high intensity R&D investment and forward-looking R&D layout, platform enterprises have accumulated a large number of digital tools and technologies, with low-cost, miniaturization, lightweight and other advantages, and can help SMEs catch the "Internet plus+Digital" express train by enabling them. It can be seen that better leveraging the technological, traffic, data advantages, and innovation driving role of platform enterprises can help build a good ecosystem for collaborative innovation and enhance the core capabilities of China's digital economy development.
Innovation is the primary driving force for development. In the first half of this year, China's gross domestic product increased by 5.5% year-on-year, with solid progress in transformation and upgrading, and continuous enhancement of innovation momentum. However, it should also be noted that in the context of weak global economic recovery, further efforts are needed to promote sustained economic recovery and improvement. To promote the effective improvement of quality and reasonable growth of quantity in the economy, it is necessary to firmly implement the innovation driven development strategy and drive innovation. It is necessary to gather innovative wisdom from all aspects and stimulate the creative vitality of various market entities, including platform enterprises. Platform enterprises should strive for innovation and long-term plans, seize development opportunities with a sense of urgency that cannot be ignored, continuously promote innovation breakthroughs, increase research and development investment around key core technologies such as underlying technologies, and open up more new fields and tracks.
"Encourage platform enterprises to continuously increase their R&D investment intensity, accelerate technological breakthroughs in fields such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, blockchain, operating systems, processors, etc." "Support strong leading enterprises or platform enterprises to lead the formation of innovation consortia" "Promote key software technology breakthroughs" "Encourage platform based element integration innovation"... The "Several Opinions of the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments on promoting the standardized, healthy, and sustainable development of the platform economy" clarify the direction of innovative development for platform enterprises. Anchoring goals, actively creating, and taking proactive actions, holding the "bull nose" of independent innovation, and serving the innovation driven development strategy with more practical actions, can platform enterprises live up to expectations and make greater contributions to promoting high-quality development and building new national competitive advantages.
