In terms of promoting the resumption of production and production and ensuring the stable operation of the economy, how can the important support of technological innovation be reflected? Under the epidemic situation, how to help science and technology enterprises to overcome difficulties and how to restore the original scientific research order as soon as possible ...
On April 3, the Joint Defense and Joint Control Mechanism of the State Council held a press conference to introduce the work of technological innovation to support the resumption of production and economic stability.
Ministry of Science and Technology: Promoting scientific and technological innovation in two ways
He Defang, deputy secretary-general of the Ministry of Science and Technology, said that the Ministry of Science and Technology promotes scientific and technological innovation to support the resumption of production and production: on the one hand, the national science and technology plan is deployed in a timely manner, and various R & D and promotion work is carried out in an orderly manner. Support services for all kinds of innovation subjects help them return to normal scientific research as soon as possible.
On the other hand, research and formulate "Several Measures on Technology Innovation Supporting the Resumption of Production and Resuming Production and Stable Economic Operation", and proposed 18 specific measures in nine aspects to make systematic arrangements for technology to support the stable development of the economy.
The first is to target technology-based enterprises, especially technology-based SMEs and high-tech enterprises, to implement innovation and development actions for technology-based SMEs, to improve service levels and increase support.
The second is to aim at the national high-tech zones and independent innovation demonstration zones, give full play to the carrier role of science and technology parks, implement the "100 cities and 100 parks" action for the promotion and application of advanced technologies, and follow the principles of "one city, one theme" and "one park, one industry". Highlight distinctive advantages and optimize space layout.
The third is aimed at cultivating new industries and new formats, strengthening key technological breakthroughs and achievement transformation, and injecting new momentum into economic development.
Fourth, aiming at the organic integration of scientific and technological personnel and the industrial needs of enterprises, carrying out special actions for scientific and technological personnel to serve enterprises, encouraging and guiding scientific research personnel to serve enterprises and industries in the front line, serving spring production and poverty alleviation.
He Defang said that in the process of advancing these tasks, special attention is paid to coordinating the government and the market, the current and the long-term, and strive to form a national chess game. It is understood that all 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps have issued relevant policy documents, and 70% of the provincial science and technology departments have also introduced specific measures.
Make practical measures to ensure the implementation of major scientific research tasks
Many people are concerned about whether the deployment of major tasks in the national science and technology plan has been affected after the outbreak.
Zhang Xiaoyuan, director of the Department of Resource Allocation and Management of the Ministry of Science and Technology, admitted that since the outbreak, many researchers have been directly involved in the epidemic prevention work and have worked hard. Scientific research units have also adopted stricter epidemic prevention measures, which will inevitably affect the original scientific research order. Have a relatively large impact.
In order to ensure the implementation of major scientific research tasks, the Ministry of Science and Technology mainly takes the following measures:
One is to timely adjust the management of the research project. In mid-February, the Ministry of Science and Technology issued a notice that the implementation period of the research project was automatically extended by 6 months. For the core team in the epidemic-stricken area, and the core team directly invested in the epidemic prevention and treatment frontline, you can also apply Further extend the time. At the same time, the related work of scientific research project declaration, project acceptance and mid-term inspection has also been adjusted accordingly to ensure that the relevant work is carried out in an orderly manner.
The second is the orderly deployment of new R & D tasks. In the recent period, the Ministry of Science and Technology has successively released more than 40 key special projects of the national key R & D plan and the 2020 project application guidelines for major projects of scientific and technological innovation 2030- "new generation of artificial intelligence", involving a total of more than 550 task directions. The central government has invested More than 12 billion yuan. With the strong support of the financial sector, since the "13th Five-Year Plan", the investment intensity of the National Science and Technology Program in the field of people's livelihood has increased by more than 50%. In the "14th Five-Year" mission layout, it will continue to increase.
The third is to optimize and innovate "facilitate" services to minimize the impact of the epidemic. For example, relying on the network platform to carry out project reviews, this time the R & D team can participate in the national science and technology plan project review without leaving home. At the same time, this year's national key R & D plan has implemented paperless declarations for all projects. In addition, considering the special circumstances during the epidemic, explore the "tolerance declaration" method.
Support advanced computing, core software, etc. to support new national infrastructure
Qin Yong, director of the High-tech Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology, said in response to the question "How to cultivate and grow new industries, new formats, and new models" raised by the reporter of Science and Technology Daily, some new formats and new models have played a very important role in the epidemic The role of the Internet, especially some new formats based on the Internet, to play online advantages, showing great potential for development.
Next, the Ministry of Science and Technology will focus on further promoting the development of new formats and new models from three aspects:
The first is to further strengthen research and development of cutting-edge technology and key core technologies. The focus includes advanced computing, core software, broadband communications, blockchain, optoelectronics, micro-nano electronics, artificial intelligence, new materials, etc. to support the country's new infrastructure. Construction.
The second is to increase the guidance and technical support for new formats and models that have shown great potential in this epidemic. The focus includes: new health industries, science and technology service industries, smart cities, modern logistics, and education services. Develop and grow these new kinetic energy.
The third is to further improve and introduce a number of supporting policies and measures with relevant departments to create a good policy environment for technological innovation and entrepreneurship.
From January to February, Zhongguancun's information technology industry increased by 12.5% year-on-year
As a benchmark of the national high-tech industrial park, how about the resumption of production in Zhongguancun National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone?
Zhai Lixin, director of the Zhongguancun Management Committee, responded that since the outbreak, more than 200 enterprises in Zhongguancun have actively participated in the research, development, and production of testing reagents, vaccines, and drugs. In particular, taking advantage of Zhongguancun's information technology and artificial intelligence technology, it has introduced new technologies and new products such as AI diagnosis and treatment, intelligent temperature measurement, disinfection and distribution robots, and intelligent hospitals, which have been well applied in the field of anti-epidemic.
According to statistics, from January to February this year, the information technology industry in Zhongguancun increased by 12.5% year-on-year, strongly supporting the battle of science and technology, resumption of production and online economy.
As of April 2nd, the 38,400 enterprises under key monitoring in the Zhongguancun National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone had a resumption rate close to 90%; of the 188 Zhongguancun technology business incubators, 182 had resumed work, accounting for 96.8%. On the whole, the resumption of production of Zhongguancun enterprises is scientifically and orderly and steadily progressing, and it is showing a trend of accelerating full recovery.
2/3 of the enterprises that undertake national emergency research are from the National High-tech Zone
Bao Xianhua, director of the Department of Achievement Transformation and Regional Innovation of the Ministry of Science and Technology, revealed that at present, 2/3 of the enterprises that undertake national emergency research are from the National High-tech Zone.
As of April 1, the overall recovery rate of 169 national high-tech zones reached 79%, of which, the recovery rate of enterprises above designated size reached 94.2%, and 35 national high-tech zones achieved an overall recovery rate of 100%. The overall resumption rate of high-tech zones is generally higher, which plays a role of "leader".
Recently, the situation of asymptomatic infected people and the situation of Fuyang has also received much attention. Is there any plan to deal with the process of resuming labor? In response to the reporter's question, Bao Xianhua responded that he should attach great importance to this issue, and he should not be taken lightly or panic. According to statistics, so far, no exact case of Fuyang patients causing disease transmission has been found.
Bao Xianhua explained that under the current strict prevention and control measures, most experts believe that asymptomatic infections are unlikely to cause large-scale epidemics. As long as scientific epidemic prevention, washing hands, wearing face masks, and maintaining social distance are done as required, both epidemic prevention and resumption of work can be achieved.

Artificial intelligence is in the exploration stage
Qin Yong said that during the epidemic, a batch of artificial intelligence products, such as artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis systems, face recognition, intelligent temperature measurement, and intelligent voice robots, etc., played a very good role in the fight against epidemics.
"Overall, the use of artificial intelligence technology to deal with the epidemic is still in the early stages of exploration, but in the long run this will be a development trend." Qin Yong said that the next step, the Ministry of Science and Technology will continue to increase support for the development of artificial intelligence. During the epidemic, the Ministry of Science and Technology urgently issued a batch of artificial intelligence guidelines to further increase research and development support for basic theories, common technologies and key devices of artificial intelligence.
In the near future, the Ministry of Science and Technology will also combine the epidemic prevention and control to support a number of research projects through the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence" major project for the application of intelligent medical treatment, especially the application of artificial intelligence technology in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, and drug research and development.
Start a special project of "Technology Helps Economy 2020" in special period
In order to provide scientific and technological support for the resumption of production and production of enterprises, with the strong support of the financial department, the national key R & D plan has launched the implementation of the "Technology to Support Economy 2020" key special project.
Zhang Xiaoyuan said that as a special key project launched in the current special period, it has four main characteristics:
First, based on boosting the current economy, mainly to support technological innovation projects. Especially in the short term, it can see results, and it has a direct effect on the transformation and landing of scientific and technological achievements for resumption of production. The project volume is moderate, and the implementation period does not exceed two years.
Second, focus on supporting science, technology, small, and medium-sized enterprises, and give preferential support to some areas that are severely affected by the epidemic. This key project is expected to support about 3,000 companies, the vast majority of which are small, medium and micro enterprises. The key projects will encourage them to establish "partner teams" with industry backbone enterprises, universities and colleges, and colleges and universities, and promote the development of small and medium-sized micro-technology enterprises through the application of industrial common technology research and development results.
Third, innovate organizational methods to be efficient and standardized. Enterprises apply for projects online through the network platform, and the Ministry of Science and Technology will complete the project establishment work within three months with the local science and technology authorities and industry departments. Relevant project funds should also be allocated as soon as possible with a fixed amount of funding to support technology at the fastest speed. Small and medium-sized enterprises to overcome short-term difficulties caused by the epidemic.
Fourth, strengthen demonstration-driven and coordinated linkage. It is hoped that the relevant departments and localities will be encouraged to take similar measures, increase support services for all aspects of resumption of production through technological innovation, work together to speed up the economic cycle, and provide strong support for the resumption of production of enterprises across the country.
The average resumption rate of high-tech enterprises in 21 provinces and cities exceeds 90%
Since the outbreak, science and technology enterprises, especially the majority of science and technology SMEs, have been greatly affected.
Bao Xianhua said that technology-based enterprises have shown strong development resilience by virtue of their own technological advantages and core competitiveness. Now they are in a good position to resume production and have played a leading role. According to the survey statistics of 21 provinces and cities, the average recovery rate of high-tech enterprises is over 90%; according to the monitoring of more than 30,000 science and technology SMEs in the national high-tech zone, the average recovery rate of recovery is 83.3%.
20 billion yuan "Zhongguancun Enterprise Anti-epidemic Development Loan" is here
Zhai Lixin introduced that Zhongguancun Management Committee, together with eight financial institutions, launched a 20 billion yuan “Zhongguancun Enterprise Anti-epidemic Development Loan” in response to the tight financial chain of the enterprise. It issued 271 loans in two weeks, with a loan amount of 5.12 billion yuan and an average interest rate 3.55%.
