　　From January to September 2021, the GDP of 169 national high-tech zones across the country reached 10.2 trillion yuan, accounting for approximately 12.4% of the national GDP.

　　"From January to September last year, the National High-tech Zone contributed about 12.3% of the country's GDP. The data for the whole year of 2021 is expected to be the same or slightly higher than last year." According to the relevant person in charge of the Statistics Department of the Torch Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology, January 2021 In September, 169 national high-tech zones achieved operating income of 33.9 trillion yuan, an increase of 20.3% year-on-year; the profit margin of operating income of enterprises in national high-tech zones was 7.9%, an increase of 0.9 percentage points from the same period last year.

　　"From the perspective of the first three quarters, the macro economy of the National High-tech Zone has continued to maintain a steady improvement, and the 14 high-tech zones at monitoring sites have continued to maintain a steady growth trend." The high-tech zone group has grown further and has become an important support and growth pole for the development of the national economy.

Make a huge contribution to rapid economic growth

　　Let's take a look at the latest report cards of two "time-honored" national high-tech zones: From January to August, the leading industries in Wuhan Donghu High-tech Zone continued to develop strongly, and the optoelectronic information industry completed the planned industrial output value of 125.52 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 40.2 %; The high-end equipment manufacturing industry completed the planned industrial output value of 26.12 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.3%.

　　The technology income of Zhongguancun Science Park was 996.68 billion yuan, an increase of 26.3% year-on-year, and the sales revenue of new products was 592.58 billion yuan, an increase of 96.0%. The highest level in the same period of 5 years...

　　This set of data shows the hard power of the national high-tech zone development.

After more than 30 years of construction and development, reform and innovation, the National High-tech Zone has become my country's innovation highland, industrial highland, talent highland and open highland, and has made great contributions to the rapid growth of my country's economy.

　　“The National High-tech Zone has nurtured a large number of internationally competitive technology companies and technology industries.” Jia Jingdun said, whether in terms of the scale of R&D investment or the output of invention patents, the National High-tech Zone is a veritable innovation highland.

　　At present, the national high-tech zone has gathered and cultivated 36.4% of the country's high-tech enterprises, more than 30% of high-tech small and medium-sized enterprises, and 67% of the science and technology board listed companies; the R&D investment of enterprises in the national high-tech zone accounts for half of the R&D investment of Chinese enterprises; The full-time equivalent of R&D personnel per 10,000 employees is 822 person-years, which is 13 times more than the national average...

　　So, how much contribution did the 278,000 high-tech enterprises, which accounted for 0.6% of the total number of enterprises in the country, contributed to the sustained recovery and development of the national economy in the first three quarters?

　　According to data from the State Intellectual Property Office, as of the end of September, high-tech enterprises had a total of 5.617 million valid patents, an increase of 15.8% over the same period last year, of which 1.127 million were valid invention patents, a year-on-year increase of 20.1%.

Valid invention patents are mainly distributed in the manufacturing industry (74.0%), information transmission, software and information technology service industry (13.7%), scientific research and technical service industry (7.1%).

　　"In the first three quarters, high-tech enterprises generally performed well, with efficiency indicators generally better than the national level, high-quality intellectual property output maintained a rapid growth trend, and the positive effect on the economy was significant, which helped to further promote innovation. Development." Jia Jingdun explained that not only high-tech enterprises focus on high-quality input and output, but also the advantages of the benign growth of industrial high-tech enterprises have continued to expand.

　　According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to August, the number of nationally regulated industrial enterprises exceeded 101,000, achieving operating income of 26.7 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 24.1%, and an average growth rate of 11.9% in two years, which is higher than the nationally regulated industrial enterprises. 1.8 percentage points for enterprises.

　　Another related set of data is that the average number of workers employed by high-level industrial enterprises is 27.424 million, a year-on-year increase of 1.9%.

Compared with the slight decrease in the number of workers employed by regulated industrial enterprises nationwide during the same period, the average number of workers employed by regulated industrial enterprises continued to grow again, and continued to make positive contributions to the promotion of social employment.

Stride towards a pioneering area for high-quality development

　　According to data provided by the Torch Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology, in 2020, the operating income of high-tech zones such as Zhongguancun, Zhangjiang, Shenzhen, and Donghu will exceed one trillion yuan.

Shenzhen, Xi'an and other high-tech zones account for more than 20% of the city's GDP, becoming the core carrier of high-quality local economic development.

　　In July 2020, the State Council issued the "Several Opinions on Promoting the High-Quality Development of National High-tech Industrial Development Zones." The state has assigned new missions and new positioning to high-tech industrial development zones in the new era. Pioneer area for high-quality development.

　　"The national high-tech zone should become an innovation-driven development demonstration zone and a high-quality development pioneer zone. It must not only have high-quality technology enterprises, but also high-quality industries and internationally competitive industrial clusters. It should also have high-quality, Facilitating life." Jia Jingdun revealed that in order to further promote the high-quality development of the national high-tech zone, the Torch Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology has made active explorations in promoting the creation of a good policy and institutional environment in recent years.

For example, in order to promote the concentration of scientific and technological innovation elements in enterprises, the Torch Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology has launched an enterprise innovation points system based on summarizing local practical experience.

　　The reporter learned that the enterprise innovation points system is a new policy tool designed to establish a new type of policy tool based on quantitative evaluation, non-traditional finance or finance, and accelerate the discovery and accurate support of a group of small and medium-sized enterprises with strong R&D capabilities, great growth potential, and key core technologies. enterprise.

At present, pilot projects have been conducted in the first batch of 13 national high-tech zones, and the second batch of pilot projects for the innovation points system for enterprises has been launched.

　　Not only that, the Torch Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology is also actively carrying out high-tech enterprise policy research and entrepreneurial incubation carrier policy research, striving for the introduction of more preferential policies.

At the same time, explore the feasibility of increasing the deduction for R&D of high-tech enterprises and extending the preferential policies for innovation incubation carriers.
