Continuously unleashing innovation potential
Zhu Wei
Innovation is the first driving force for development.
In the first year of our new journey, technological innovation has provided strong support for the high-quality development of my country's economy.
In 2021, the comprehensive ranking of my country's national innovation capability will rise to 12th in the world.
The new kinetic energy brought by innovation is profoundly changing the way of production and lifestyle, and shaping the new advantages of China's development.
On the one hand, facing the frontiers of science and technology in the world, supporting the exploration of basic science and cutting-edge technologies, and major innovations are emerging.
"Tianwen-1" started its journey to Mars, and "Xihe" achieved zero breakthrough in solar exploration, making the world once again amazed by the rapid progress of China's science and technology.
On the other hand, facing the main economic battlefield, deploying the innovation chain around the industrial chain, laying out the industrial chain around the innovation chain, and converting old and new kinetic energy are promoting the transformation and upgrading of China's economy in a visible way.
Strategic emerging industries such as intelligent manufacturing, life and health, and new materials will form more new growth points; artificial intelligence technology will deeply empower logistics, transportation and other industries to achieve intelligent upgrades; 5G, big data, blockchain and other technologies will be integrated and applied. A large number of new business formats and new business models have been spawned, providing a continuous driving force for serving people's livelihood, benefiting the society and industrial upgrading.
The deeper the innovation is, the more it needs a good ecology.
The continuous release of the innovation potential of the whole society is inseparable from the institutional environment that encourages innovation.
In recent years, the government has stepped up its efforts to cut taxes and fees, which has lightened the burden on enterprises and enhanced the stamina for innovation and development; efforts have been made to alleviate the problems of difficult and expensive financing for enterprises, accurately and effectively support the real economy, and allow enterprises to have money to innovate; "Serve" reform, focus on optimizing the business environment, and allow enterprises to focus on innovation; planting the soil of "mass entrepreneurship and innovation", reforming the talent evaluation system so that everyone can innovate, etc., all provide sunshine for the growth of new ideas and new creations rain and dew.
To move towards high-quality development, active innovation is not a choice that can be done or not, but a key move related to the initiative of development.
If innovation is the new engine of China's economic development, then reform is an indispensable igniter.
To make the innovation engine run stably and lastingly, it is necessary to continue to create a better institutional environment for the growth of new kinetic energy, do more support work to "send charcoal in the snow" and "send umbrellas in the rain", and make more efforts to "add firewood and fire". The cultivation effort of "adding bricks and bricks" allows the vitality of all innovations to flow fully, and the power of all creations to burst out.
Only in this way can China's economy bravely stand at the forefront of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation.
