China News Online, October 16th (Gao Zhimiao) The original breakthrough from scratch, from large-scale mass production to many, from mass production to intelligent customization, collaborative innovation is the key word among them.

How to explore a cross-regional collaborative innovation mechanism and build a regional science and technology innovation ecosystem is the only way. The Yangtze River Delta is both a tester and a practitioner.

  Sponsored by Shanghai Guochuang Technology Industry Innovation Development Center, the Yangtze River Delta Technology Industry Innovation Forum with the theme of "Technology Empowering Industry Innovation" was held in Shanghai on the 16th.

Representatives from industrial parks, universities, scientific research institutes, and financial institutions from the Yangtze River Delta region gathered in Shanghai to discuss regional collaborative innovation and share scientific and technological practice paths.

  Wang Jianhua, Secretary of the Party Committee, Executive Vice President and Secretary-General of the China Association for the Promotion of Industry-University-Research Cooperation, said that in terms of regional innovation resource linkage, the three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta have their own characteristics, and innovation resources gather and connect frequently, and their energy levels are constantly improving.

For example, Shanghai has outstanding comprehensive advantages, Jiangsu has developed manufacturing industry, Zhejiang has a leading digital economy, and Anhui has active innovation and good ecological resources.

  Huang Yan, chairman of the Shanghai Guochuang Science and Technology Industry Innovation and Development Center, also stated that the Yangtze River Delta, as one of the most active, open and innovative regions in China, is forming a new highland for technological innovation and industrial innovation in China.

The trend of sharing of innovative elements, division of labor and collaboration, and cross-industry integration within the region has emerged, and the development of science and technology has ushered in a new period of opportunity.

  As the "leading" of the Yangtze River Delta, Shanghai is striving to become a scientific and technological innovation center with global influence.

Liu Ping, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology, said that Shanghai is currently accelerating the construction of major technology projects and major technology infrastructure in accordance with the planning requirements for the construction of a science and technology center, and establishing market-oriented technological innovation with a deep integration of industry, academia and research. System, cultivate and strengthen a group of leading technology companies, and promote key areas to accelerate to the high end of the global industrial chain, innovation chain, and value chain.

  How to build a science and technology ecology?

Wang Jianhua emphasized that the industry, academia and research community should take advantage of Shanghai's innovative resources, with enterprises as the main body, functional platforms as carriers, and key technological innovations in key industries as the core, strengthen the integration of industry, academia and research, and enhance various technological innovation alliances and cooperation platforms. To improve the sharing mechanism of scientific and technological innovation resources, and form an innovative development system of in-depth integration of industry-university-research and efficient linkage.

  According to Qian Feng, vice president of East China University of Science and Technology, the creation of a science and innovation ecosystem is also facing many challenges. The distribution of scientific and technological innovation forces urgently needs to be improved. Innovation platform system.

  "At present, the scientific and technological innovation platform is mainly oriented to subject development, and has not yet formed a top scientific and technological force for the country's major strategic needs based on goals, shortcomings, problems, and applications. Some scientific and technological innovation platforms have unclear positioning and scattered focus areas." Qian Feng Say.

  Qian Feng emphasized that the Yangtze River Delta shoulders the important mission of the national innovation-driven development strategy. It needs to further strengthen the sources of scientific and technological innovation, help global resource allocation, original innovation capabilities, high-end industry leadership, consolidate the digital base, and help the digital transformation of the industry to accelerate the construction of Frontier industrial clusters with international influence provide strong support and promote the high-quality development of manufacturing.

  Liu Ping also said that in the next step, Shanghai will continue to enhance the soft power of service technology innovation enterprises; comprehensively promote the digital transformation of the city, accelerate the construction of a world-class digital industry cluster; and create an ecological highland of science and technology innovation in the Yangtze River Delta.

Strengthen industrial cooperation and policy communication in the Yangtze River Delta, explore new models for the integration and innovation of science and innovation ecology, and strive for the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta region.
