Dare to venture and try, fruitful results in system innovation

　　According to Zhu Yimin, on August 30, 2019, the Jiangsu Free Trade Zone was inaugurated, emphasizing the need to position high, start at a high point, promote integration and transcendence, and strive to build a "domestic first-class, internationally recognized" free trade pilot zone. .

Over the past year, the Jiangsu Free Trade Zone has made great efforts to promote open development and improve quality and efficiency. The work has achieved important results in stages, mainly in six aspects:

　　One is to accelerate the implementation of reform tasks.

Jiangsu Province fully supports the three major areas to boldly venture, experiment, and reform independently, and give the free trade zone greater reform autonomy.

On the one hand, local legislation is promoted, and on the other hand, a batch of provincial-level authority is delegated, and 273 provincial-level management issues are granted to the free trade zone at one time.

At the same time, a series of supporting policies were issued, and 110 supporting policy documents were formulated and issued by provinces, cities and districts.

In addition, a set of task lists has been established, with 132 existing reform pilot tasks, and the implementation rate has reached 94%.

　　The second is the fruitful results of system innovation.

Nanjing area "Building a biomedicine centralized supervision and public service platform", Suzhou area "Imported R&D (testing) unregistered medical device hierarchical management" and "Building a smart logistics service platform" were selected as the best practice cases of the State Council in deepening service trade innovation and development pilot .

　　The third is the strong momentum of open development.

Intensify the attraction of major foreign investment projects. From January to July, the Jiangsu Free Trade Zone actually used US$1.52 billion in foreign capital, accounting for 11.1% of the province; speed up the construction of a "single window" for international trade. From January to July, the Jiangsu Free Trade Zone completed the entry The total export volume was 320.77 billion yuan, accounting for 13.3% of the province; supporting policies were formulated to support the construction of the Jiangsu Free Trade Zone, and the pilot program for facilitation of foreign exchange receipts and payments in trade was extended to the service trade field, and cross-border RMB innovation business made substantial progress.

　　The fourth is to fully release innovative vitality.

The Jiangsu Free Trade Zone has thoroughly implemented the innovation-driven strategy, accelerated the accumulation of innovation resources, and introduced more than 2,000 high-end talents in the three major areas; accelerated the construction of innovation platforms.

The National Integrated Circuit Design Service Industry Innovation Center in Nanjing area accelerated the declaration, the National Biopharmaceutical Technology Innovation Center in Suzhou area accelerated the preparation and construction, and the construction of the high-efficiency and low-carbon gas turbine test device in Lianyungang area began; the innovation ecology continued to be optimized.

The Nanjing area innovatively completed 5.37 billion yuan of intellectual property pledge loans, and the Suzhou area biomedical enterprises successfully approved an additional foreign debt of US$600 million.

　　Fifth, the industrial foundation is firmly consolidated.

Deploy the innovation chain around the industrial chain, lay out the industrial chain around the innovation chain, and strive to build an independent and controllable modern industrial system.

The leading role of high-quality industrial projects is obvious.

106 major industrial projects of more than 100 million yuan have been signed, with a total investment of nearly 200 billion yuan; the cluster effect of advanced manufacturing is obvious, and the Lianyungang area has been rated as a national five-star new industrialization demonstration base; the three major areas have obvious common advantages in the biomedical industry.

The competitiveness of the biopharmaceutical industry in the Suzhou area ranks first in the country, and the Lianyungang area ranks first in the country in terms of biomedicine scientific and technological innovation output last year.

　　Sixth, the business environment continued to be optimized.

Accelerate the full coverage of the pilot reform of the "separation of licenses and licenses", actively explore the reform of the registration confirmation system for commercial entities, and promote the transformation of commercial registration from "subjective approval" to "objective confirmation".

Innovate and optimize the supervision system during and after the event, implement the credit commitment system, and explore the implementation of credit classification supervision.

As of the end of July this year, there were 30,700 new market players in the Jiangsu Free Trade Zone, including 313 foreign-funded enterprises.

"Three Steps" to Deepen System Innovation

　　"In the past year, various work in the Jiangsu Free Trade Zone has achieved significant results. Standing on a new starting point, the Party Central Committee, the State Council, the Provincial Party Committee, and the Provincial Government have put forward new goals and requirements."

　　Focusing on the positioning of the "two zones" in the Jiangsu Free Trade Zone, the first is to deepen system integration and innovation, and gather learning from Shanghai, Guangdong, Hainan and other places.

The second is to deepen industrial opening and innovation, promote the open innovation of the entire industry chain of key industries such as biomedicine, take the needs of enterprises as the guidance, and solve the difficult problems encountered in the development of enterprises as a breakthrough point, and systematically break the institutional constraints that restrict the innovation and development of key industries. Bottlenecks and obstacles constraints.

The third is to deepen collaborative innovation.

Strengthen the open cooperation with other free trade zones in the Yangtze River Delta region, link with other open platform carriers in the province, and strive to enhance the radiating and leading role of the Jiangsu Free Trade Zone.

　　At the same time, focusing on services and integrating into the new development pattern with the domestic big cycle as the main body and the mutual promotion of the domestic and international double cycles, one is to explore new ways and demonstrate the high-level use of foreign capital, and accelerate the promotion of foreign capital headquarters and functional institutions in Jiangsu. Agglomeration of pilot trade zones.

The second is to explore new ways and demonstrate in the development of high-quality foreign trade, accelerate the cultivation of new trade formats and models, and promote innovation in service trade.

The third is to explore new ways and demonstrations in the supply chain of the industry chain to optimize and strengthen, and strive to smoothly drive the domestic and international economic cycles.
