Form an innovation consortium to achieve more "from 0 to 1" breakthroughs

[Focus on economic hot words]　

【Hot words】 Innovation Consortium

　　The Central Economic Work Conference held a few days ago emphasized the need to give full play to the main role of enterprises in technological innovation, support leading enterprises to form innovative consortia, and promote innovation activities of SMEs.

　　Recently, the National New Energy Vehicle Technology Innovation Center stated that it will launch a new energy vehicle technology (power battery) innovation rally and release the technical innovation propositions of the event. The propositions range from high-performance materials and advanced battery technology, battery efficient integration technology and related components, etc. Field, soliciting innovative solutions from around the world.

　　The National New Energy Vehicle Technology Innovation Center was established in Beijing on March 1, 2018. The first batch of joint co-constructors include 21 companies and scientific research institutions including BAIC Group, Geely, BYD, Baidu, Tsinghua University, and the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, covering complete vehicles. Manufacturing, battery production, Internet and other fields.

This is the first national-level technological innovation center in my country's automobile industry, and it is its mission to achieve breakthroughs in key technologies common to the industry.

　　Under the innovative ecological model, the National New Energy Vehicle Technology Innovation Center successfully held the fuel cell and lightweight innovation rally to promote the development of industry technology and incubate dozens of scientific and technological achievements.

This event will build a technology platform, sort out the pain points of the industry, and promote technological innovation and industrial transformation.

　　Xiao Yaqing, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will continue to promote the development of my country's new energy automobile industry, improve innovation capabilities in some key links, and encourage domestic and international car companies to deepen the opening up. Cooperation to jointly develop the new energy vehicle business.

[Expert interpretation]

Jiang Jiang, researcher at the Institute of Industrial Economics, China Academy of Macroeconomics:

　　It is a common practice and common method in the international science and technology industry to promote scientific progress and technological development with enterprises as the main body and cooperation of production, education and research.

At present, the innovation environment of the international science and technology industry is undergoing a trend reversal. The construction of my country's science and technology power is at a leaps and bounds in the new situation and new journey. The historical mission of the enterprise-led innovation consortium is also quietly changing.

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" and for a long period of time in the future, the enterprise-led innovation consortium will shoulder more missions in the frontiers of world science and technology, the main economic battlefield, the major needs of the country, and the lives and health of the people. Major scientific and technological projects, helping key core technologies to tackle tough problems, and driving innovation chain industry chain integration and innovation to achieve more breakthroughs.

　　Over the past period of time, my country has established a large number of industrial innovation centers and industrial technology alliances in important fields such as information, life sciences, and materials, making outstanding contributions to my country's scientific and technological progress, especially technological innovations that focus on applied research and development research.

In the coming period, to build a multi-dimensional, multi-level and diversified innovation consortium, it is necessary to focus on the layout of the innovation consortium from the dimensions of industry, university, research and use, and promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements from original research and development to application development research, to "0 to 1" transformation, to "1 to 100" industrialization; also pay attention to the deployment of innovative consortia from the upstream and downstream industrial chain dimensions, promote leading companies to lead, small and micro innovative enterprises, upstream and downstream supporting enterprises to work together; also focus on cross-border and cross-field construction The innovation consortium ensures that multi-disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and differentiated teams participate in the promotion of scientific and technological innovation in frontier major key areas.

　　We must support the development of innovative consortia with greater determination and courage.

Intensify efforts to support innovation consortia to participate in major national scientific and technological research, research and promote national and local financial arrangements for special funds to support innovation consortia in areas with advantages, reserves, and potentials to participate in or independently carry out technological research focused on major national scientific and technological projects; Guide social capital to inject capital for innovation consortia through various methods such as equity participation and venture capital.

Promote the reform and exploration of the innovation consortium system and mechanism in a deeper level, and strive to solve the system and mechanism bottlenecks encountered in the development of various innovation consortiums in the early stage, such as unclear ownership of responsibilities, loose joint forms, and unclear rules for sharing intellectual property rights, and encourage innovative consortia Develop business in multiple forms such as independent legal entities or leading enterprises, other participants funded by technology and people, and use innovation consortia as the carrier and platform to actively explore the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, the stimulation of talent vitality, and the innovation of scientific and technological systems and mechanisms. .
