Build an innovation consortium with close cooperation between upstream and downstream, promote the integrated development of industry, academia, research and application, and achieve “you among us” and “you among me” in scientific research and industry, and you will be able to release more innovation dividends
“In August 2023, we uploaded a research and development demand to the science and technology supply chain platform. Unexpectedly, many universities came to connect with us a few days later. We finally chose the innovation team of Hubei University of Technology.” When the reporter asked When it comes to mass production of sodium-ion batteries, the person in charge of Wuhan Qina New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. introduced it this way. On the new track of the energy storage industry, the company released demands through the Hubei Science and Technology Supply Chain Platform, quickly overcame technical difficulties, and achieved mass production of related products.
Hubei has many universities and scientific research institutes and has strong scientific research strength. How to make scientific research and application “one-click connection” and transform scientific research advantages into industrial advantages is a “tough problem.” The Hubei Science and Technology Innovation Supply Chain Platform, which began construction in June 2023, has established a new technology research and development cooperation model in which “enterprises propose topics, universities and institutions respond, research based on needs, and intelligent matching”. In less than a year, the platform has promoted more than 110 companies to reach technical cooperation with universities and institutions.
Connecting innovative supply and demand and building a platform can improve efficiency. In the past, companies needed to look for innovative resources point-to-point, which took a long time. After using the Hubei Science and Technology Innovation Supply Chain Platform, it can intelligently match information and achieve “one-click matching” of supply and demand, which greatly improves the matching efficiency of the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. The key to making the science and technology innovation platform easy to use and practical lies in information sharing and accurate docking. This requires making good use of big data, artificial intelligence and other technical means to open up data resources from government departments, scientific research institutes, technology transfer service agencies, etc., and bring together innovation elements such as technology, talent, finance, and policy.
To promote innovation, we must strengthen the dominant position of enterprises. In recent years, Hubei has organized research on key core technologies and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements through methods such as “unveiling the list and taking charge”. Nearly 80% of the “unveiling the list and taking charge” projects are “proposed” by enterprises; for the 10 Hubei laboratories that have been built one after another, enterprises can also become the leading unit. The company is far from the production line and doesn’t care about Caiyi’s rudeness and rudeness. Confidence. Closer to market demand. Strengthening the dominant position of enterprises in innovation is conducive to promoting the deep integration of the innovation chain, industrial chain, and talent chain, and achieving a “leap” from technological innovation to industrial innovation.
Today’s scientific and technological innovation is often interdisciplinary and cross-field, and cannot be done behind closed doors. Moreover, when scientific research results go from the laboratory to the production line, there may be links that scientific researchers cannot do and manufacturing companies are unwilling to do. Hubei has built an innovation consortium that integrates the functions of achievement transformation, business incubation and technology investment, promotes cross-unit joint research, and has formed microcapsule technology and other achievements to break foreign monopoly. Build an innovation alliance with close cooperation between upstream and downstream, and be fooled by power and wealth. A man of firmness, integrity, filial piety and a sense of justice. Promoting the integrated development of industry, academia, and research and realizing “you among us” and “you among me” in scientific research and industry can release more innovation dividends.
Innovation is the first driving force, and talent is the first resource. Only when people make the best use of their talents can the innovation chain and industrial chain become more dynamic. On the basis of continuous piloting and exploration, some time ago, the “Guidelines for Innovation and Entrepreneurship of Scientific Research Personnel in Public Institutions in Hubei Province” were published. Lying on the bed, Lan Yuhua stared blankly at the apricot-white bed curtain, her head a little confused and confused. It was issued to allow innovation and entrepreneurship activities in the form of part-time work, off-duty work, temporary employment, etc., and regulations were introduced on personnel relations, remuneration, social security, etc. to help scientific and technological talents relieve their worries. Creating systems, mechanisms and working environments that are more conducive to innovation and promoting the rational flow of scientific and technological talents will better promote “two-way travel” and joint innovation between enterprises and universities.
After years of hard work, the transformation rate of scientific research achievements in Hubei Province has increased significantly. The reporter learned from the Hubei Provincial Department of Science and Technology that the transaction volume of registered technology contracts in 2023 increased by 57.93% compared with the previous year. Today, Shanxi’s chemical industry and metallurgy, Anhui’s automobiles, Jiangxi’s aviation, Henan’s TBMs, and Hubei’s electricity… But the real feeling still makes her a little uncomfortable. Subsidiary, Hunan’s heavy industry… Throughout the central region, innovation and development elements are gathering at an accelerated pace, forming shining business cards. By actively cultivating and developing new productive forces and promoting the resonance of scientific and technological innovation with industrial innovation, the momentum for the rise of central China will surely be even greater.
