High quality development research tour | Reporter's note: Shenzhen focuses on building a better "soft environment" to support innovative development
When visiting Shenzhen Mindray Biomedical Electronics Co., Ltd. and Chinese Academy of Sciences Shenzhen Advanced Technology Research Institute recently, the reporter found that Shenzhen is striving to build a better "soft environment" to help innovation and development.
Mindray Medical is a well-known enterprise in the field of medical devices in China. Over the past 32 years, it has grown from an imported medical equipment agent to a large medical device and solution supplier in China, mastering core technologies in its own hands.
Moreover, in this market that has long been dominated by European and American companies, Mindray Medical's multiple products can compete with international companies on the same stage. Its independently developed monitors, anesthesia machines, and ventilators rank among the top in the global market share.

Nowadays, Mindray Medical's annual revenue has exceeded 30 billion yuan. In the eyes of enterprises, the innovation atmosphere, good industrial ecology, and business environment that Shenzhen has formed over the past few decades are its greatest benefits in this city.
The reporter learned that in recent years, Shenzhen has made optimizing the business environment its "number one reform project". The rule of law is a reassuring pill for market entities. In recent years, Shenzhen has strengthened legislation in key and cutting-edge areas such as social credit and anti unfair competition; Innovate the supervision mode of "artificial intelligence+Internet plus+credit+double randomness" to reduce the interference of administrative law enforcement on normal production and operation of enterprises; Carry out pilot programs for intellectual property protection in new industries and formats, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of market entities in accordance with the law.
Driving 10 kilometers north from Mindray Medical Headquarters, the reporter came to the Chinese Academy of Sciences Shenzhen Advanced Technology Research Institute. This is a new scientific research institution built by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Shenzhen Municipal Government and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, focusing on health and medicine, robotics, new energy and new materials, big data and smart city.

At this research institute, two sets of data have caught our attention. A set of data shows that there are 3219 employees in the hospital, with an average age of only 33 years old; Another set of data shows that the hospital has established a total of 230 enterprise joint laboratories and incubated 1582 enterprises.

Huang Shuqiang, the person in charge of human resources at the research institute, said, "More than 80% of our research funding belongs to competitive funding. After the 'protection period' of employee growth, there is a certain proportion of competition mechanism every year to fully mobilize talent vitality."
Fu Xiongfei, Deputy Director of the Institute of Synthetic Biology at the research institute, told us that a high conversion rate of scientific and technological achievements cannot be achieved without the institutional innovation of the institute and the support of the Shenzhen Municipal Government for the industry.
"Shenzhen has launched an innovation and entrepreneurship complex model of 'basic research on industrial applications upstairs, incubation of enterprises downstairs', establishing a full process innovation ecosystem of' basic research+technological breakthroughs+industrialization of achievements+technology finance+talent support ', and assisting in the deep integration of industry, academia, and research." Fu Xiongfei said that the government is promoting the landing of synthetic biology industrial parks and the establishment of synthetic biology industry funds, providing tremendous assistance in building an industrial ecosystem.
From interviews with Mindray Medical and the Shenzhen Advanced Technology Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it was found that both enterprises and research institutions are constantly achieving breakthroughs and growth, which cannot be separated from the government's optimization of factor and institutional supply, and the continuous creation of a better business environment.
