He said that since the 13th Five-Year Plan, my country has made decisive achievements in building an innovative country; the number of high-tech enterprises has exceeded 200,000.
Wang Zhigang pointed out that since the 13th Five-Year Plan, my country has made decisive achievements in the construction of an innovative country, and its scientific and technological strength has jumped to a new level. The reform of the scientific and technological system and governance has been deepened, the innovation system has become more complete, and the innovation environment has been more optimized. The strong support of economic development, improvement of people’s livelihood, and national security has played an important role in implementing the new development concept and building a new development pattern. The following six aspects are more prominent.
The first is to systematically promote basic research and key core technologies, and achieve a "new leap" in technological innovation capabilities.
Basic research accounted for more than 6% of R&D investment for the first time, and 13 applied mathematics centers were built.
Original results have been achieved in quantum information, iron-based superconductivity, stem cells, etc., and positive progress has been made in the research and development of high-speed railways, key components and basic software, and a number of national weapons such as "Chang'e-5" and "Struggle" have emerged.
Speed up the construction of national laboratories and reorganize the national key laboratory system.
Build a group of national technological innovation centers led by enterprises.

The second is to promote the entry of scientific and technological achievements into the main battlefield of the economy and society in an all-round way, and form a "new momentum" for high-quality development.
Major projects led the leapfrog development of key industries, and significant results were achieved in mobile communications, new drug creation, and nuclear power.
Technology provides guarantee for the large-scale application of 5G and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and other major projects.
Beidou navigation satellite global network, new energy vehicles, artificial intelligence and other accelerated applications, high-tech enterprises exceeded 200,000.
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao International Technology Innovation Centers, 21 self-created zones and 169 high-tech zones have promoted the formation of a number of innovative growth points, growth belts and growth poles.
Significant progress has been made in scientific and technological support to win the battle against poverty, and scientific and technological commissioners have achieved full coverage of scientific and technological services and entrepreneurship in the establishment of poverty-stricken villages.
In 2020, scientific research assistant positions will attract 167,000 college graduates.
The third is to coordinate the improvement of the scale and quality of the scientific and technological talent team and form a "new trend" for rapid development of talents.
The full-time equivalent of R&D personnel exceeds 4.8 million per year.
The national science and technology plan and key laboratories increase their support for young talents.
The emergence of leading talents and innovative teams in science and technology is accelerating, and a group of outstanding scientists have won important international awards such as the Physics Filitz Prize.
A unified system of work permits and visas for foreign talents has been implemented, and nearly 650,000 work permits for foreign talents have been processed.
The fourth is to deepen the reform of the science and technology system in key areas and form a "new ecology" for innovation and entrepreneurship.
The reform goals have been initially achieved in the management of science and technology plans, the transformation of results, and the opening and sharing of resources.
Promote the first batch of pilot projects of "Revealing the List and Taking Command"
Set up a science and technology innovation board to open up channels for technology, industry, and finance.
The implementation of the action to reduce the burden of scientific researchers, "breaking the four only" is fully launched in key areas.
The implementation of a series of documents on strengthening scientific research integrity and work style and style of study has resulted in positive changes in the work style and style of study in the scientific and technological sector.
Fifth, actively integrate into the global innovation network, and take the initiative to deploy "new steps" in technological open cooperation.
Establish innovative dialogue mechanisms with many countries and conduct joint research with more than 50 countries and regions.
Deeply participate in major international scientific projects such as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor.
The “Belt and Road” Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Program supported more than 8,300 foreign young scientists to work in China and established 33 joint laboratories.
Open up the entire process of the central government's science and technology program funds for transit through Hong Kong and Macau.
The sixth is to rapidly carry out scientific research and emergency response to the new crown epidemic, and make China's "new contribution" to respond to common global challenges.
Mobilize the national science and technology system to focus on clinical treatment and drug, vaccine research and development, testing equipment and reagents, etc. to carry out the fight against the epidemic.
Complete viral gene sequencing within one week, and complete the development and marketing of nucleic acid detection reagents within 14 days.
Five technical routes for vaccine development were advanced in parallel, seven models entered phase III clinical trials, and four models were approved for conditional listing.
Eleven drugs or treatment methods entered the diagnosis and treatment plan.
Participate in 10 working groups of the World Health Organization, conduct scientific and technological anti-epidemic exchanges and cooperation with the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and other countries, share the latest results, and provide Chinese solutions.

In addition, Wang Zhigang said that while seeing the achievements, we must also clearly realize that on the one hand, China's science and technology has not yet been able to support economic and social development, and there are still some shortcomings and weaknesses. China's economic and social development and the improvement of people's livelihood ecology The demand for science and technology, such as national security protection, has never been as important and urgent as it is today; on the other hand, the prospects and space for scientific and technological development are endless, the understanding of the regularity of scientific and technological innovation and the pursuit of the penetration and diffusion of scientific and technological innovation It is also endless, and we need to continue to work hard in the future to further improve the ability of science and technology to support and lead the economy, industry, society, and security in all aspects, and strive to contribute more Chinese power and Chinese achievements to the development of global science and technology.
Wang Zhigang said that this year is the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", and will adhere to the "four aspects", strengthen strategic scientific and technological strength, and give full play to the fundamental supporting role of scientific and technological self-reliance in promoting high-quality development and building a new development pattern. The achievement is a gift for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party.
