China News Service, Beijing, February 28 (Reporter Zhang Ni) Advanced computational fluid dynamics simulation software, in vitro bionic maintenance systems for fresh organs, minimally invasive stents for the treatment of glaucoma... Enter the exhibition hall of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei National Technology Innovation Center , a number of cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements are eye-catching.

  As the first comprehensive national technology innovation center, it has helped a large number of scientific research results come out of the laboratory and finally serve the public, becoming a "smart hub" connecting Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

The “Smart Hub” of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei 

  As the country's innovation highland, Beijing relies on its unique resource advantages to play the role of "leader" in scientific and technological innovation among the three regions of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. At the same time, the complementary advantages such as the industrial chain of Tianjin and Hebei provide technology implementation In the past ten years, the achievements of scientific and technological innovation linkage between the three places have been obvious to all, and this is inseparable from the role of "tie".

  At the end of 2020, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei National Technology Innovation Center (referred to as the "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Center") was officially unveiled.

  The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Center is a major measure to implement the national innovation-driven strategy, promote the flow of innovation elements and the integration of innovation chains. It is also an important starting point for accelerating the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and exploring the innovation of scientific and technological systems and mechanisms. It carries out industry-university-research collaboration on core technologies in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. It is of great significance to tackle key problems and build regional technology industry chains, supply chains and innovation ecosystems.

  The reporter learned that as a strategic node of the national innovation system, a strategic hub for Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei collaborative innovation development, and a major source of power for high-quality development, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Center undergoes a strict selection process and recommends disruptive technology projects to the Ministry of Science and Technology every year, and is responsible for Full-cycle management and services for every science and technology innovation project.

A scientific and technological innovation project has the center's participation in the entire incubation process from screening and review to investment and implementation, and it is widely involved in integrated circuits and chips, intelligent technology and new computing systems, scientific instruments and new experimental systems, life and health, energy and low carbon, Advanced manufacturing and transportation.

  According to reports, at present, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Center has implemented a total of 241 projects, about 50% of which are world-first or leading. It has cultivated 118 hard technology companies and trained about 400 graduate students. It has initially become a strategic technology source with international influence. Center, high-precision industry cultivation center, innovative talent training center.

Deeply explore the advantages of the three places to form a dream linkage

  The resource innovation endowments and industrial structures of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei are very different. It is necessary to combine the laws of scientific and technological innovation with the reality of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei to find its own path for coordinated development in the Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei region.

  As a platform for the transformation of Tsinghua University laboratory results, Huahuixin is on the road to high-quality development with the support of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Center.

  As a high-tech project with cutting-edge technology, Huahuixin and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Center jointly established a micro-nano optoelectronics technology laboratory to carry out joint research in engineering technology. In terms of industrial implementation, Tianjin has also actively provided policy resources, industry Resources and other strong support.

  Today, Huahuixin has a very good development momentum in the field of optoelectronic chips. It has been selected as a "specialized, special and innovative" enterprise in Tianjin and has become a model of cooperation between Beijing and Tianjin.

  The success of Huahuixin is not an isolated case. The "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Collaborative Innovation Index 2023" released earlier by the Capital Development Research Institute of Peking University shows that from 2013 to 2022, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Collaborative Innovation Index increased from 100 to 297.6, with an average annual average The growth rate was 12.9%, and the relative gap in innovation index between Beijing-Hebei and Tianjin-Hebei narrowed.

  Obviously, the dreamy linkage between Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei will continue in the future.
