　　Enterprises are the main body of innovation and the new force to promote innovation and creation.

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that science and technology must be the primary productive force, talents are the primary resource, and innovation is the primary driving force, and we must implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the country with talents, and the strategy of innovation-driven development, and open up new fields and new tracks for development. , and constantly shape the development of new momentum and new advantages.

　　In recent years, the innovation investment of private enterprises in my country has continued to grow, the quality of innovation has improved significantly, and breakthroughs have been made in the quantity and quality of invention patents.

The latest data from the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce shows that in 2021, the total R&D expenditure of the top 1,000 private enterprises in R&D investment will reach 1.08 trillion yuan, accounting for 38.58% of the national R&D expenditure; The total number of patents exceeded 633,000, an increase of 53.6% over the previous year.

　　"The authorization of invention patents to a certain extent represents the technological innovation capability and patent quality level of the enterprise. The high authorization amount and authorization rate indicate that enterprises pay more attention to high-quality inventions and patent applications." Intellectual Property Development Research Center of the State Intellectual Property Office Director Bai Jianfeng said, "my country's private enterprises are gradually relying on technological innovation to ensure independent control of key core technologies, thereby building a global competitive advantage."

　　Liu Dong, a researcher at the China Academy of Science and Technology Development Strategy, believes that at present, the development model of private enterprises has shifted from investment-driven to innovation-driven. Behind this is the qualitative improvement of the innovation capabilities of private enterprises, whether it is technology, talents, or the accumulation of experience , have reached a new level.

It is understood that Huawei's research and development investment in 2021 will reach 142.7 billion yuan, accounting for 22.4% of the annual revenue, and the research and development expenses and expense ratio are at the highest level in the past 10 years.

　　Today, the R&D departments of many private enterprises have carried out a series of major scientific research in cutting-edge cross-fields such as brain-inspired intelligence, quantum science, and network security.

"With the continuous improvement of the innovation ability of private enterprises, the economic scale and strength have been significantly enhanced, and some advantageous fields have begun to enter the technological frontier and accelerate breakthroughs." Zhao Zhiyun, Secretary of the Party Committee of the China Institute of Scientific and Technological Information, said.

　　While the pace of innovation of private enterprises is accelerating, it also presents new trends and new features——

　　In terms of technological innovation organization model, private enterprises are more proactive in cooperating with universities and scientific research institutes, and the cooperation methods are diversified, including co-construction of laboratories, joint declaration of scientific and technological planning projects, joint research and development of products, and joint training of high-skilled talents, etc. .

"Qualified private enterprises have also strengthened their support for basic research by setting up funds and funding university research and development, which has become one of the important channels for diversified investment in basic research in my country." Liu Dong said.

　　In the innovation camp of private enterprises, leading enterprises not only continue to promote their own technological innovation with high R&D investment, but also form an innovation consortium based on the industrial chain to vigorously promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries.

"At present, Lenovo Group has about 850 manufacturing suppliers, including about 220 small and medium-sized enterprises, including 45 specialized and new enterprises, and 15 individual champion enterprises." said Guan Wei, senior vice president of Lenovo Group, Lenovo is actively playing The leading role of the "chain owner" helps the deep integration of the innovation chain and the industrial chain, and promotes the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.
