"Where is your laboratory located?" General Secretary Xi Jinping asked with interest when he was participating in the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation during this year's National Two Sessions and heard that representative Gao Jifan was also the director of the State Key Laboratory of Photovoltaic Science and Technology.

　　In recent years, China's photovoltaic products have performed brilliantly and become one of the "three new products" that are popular overseas. Gao Jifan, chairman of Trina Solar Co., Ltd., is a "light chaser".

He told the general secretary that the laboratories "are located in Changzhou and Shanghai" and "we are jointly constructed by enterprises and universities to connect basic research, cutting-edge research and applied research."

　　School-enterprise cooperation and industry-university-research integration are important ways to promote scientific and technological innovation.

In the fierce international competition, how to open up new areas and new tracks for development and create new momentum and new advantages for development?

In the final analysis, we still have to rely on technological innovation.

Among them, people are the key factor and enterprises are the main innovation entities.

　　"Now, CATL's share of global power batteries has reached 37%, ranking first in the world for six consecutive years." On March 6, 2023, at the joint meeting of the National Committee for Democratic Construction and Industry and Commerce of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Chairman of CATL Commissioner Zeng Yuqun reported on the company’s research and development of new energy vehicle power batteries.

　　More than 30 years ago, Xi Jinping worked in Ningde and was deeply impressed by the underdeveloped Eastern Fujian region in the past.

"When I was here, there was no company like yours." Xi Jinping said with a smile, "The Ningde era suddenly appeared. I didn't expect that it was quite big."

　　If an enterprise wants to become bigger and stronger, it must have core technologies with independent intellectual property rights. This is the "vital gate".

In December 2017, Xi Jinping inspected XCMG. He boarded an all-terrain wheel crane with great interest, asked about the technical details and operating procedures, and told everyone that "innovation is the source of the core competitiveness of an enterprise, and many core technologies cannot be obtained without You can’t buy it.”

　　Shan Zenghai, chief engineer of XCMG Group, has always remembered the general secretary’s words. He said in an interview during the National Two Sessions in 2023: “I deeply feel that technological innovation requires abandoning illusions and relying on oneself!”

　　Shan Zenghai did not expect that this scene would be seen by Xi Jinping through live television.

At the deliberation site of the Jiangsu delegation, Xi Jinping recognized Shan Zenghai as soon as he spoke: "You were interviewed by reporters in the delegate aisle today, right?"

　　Meeting the General Secretary again, Shan Zenghai brought good news: "The key indicators of the all-terrain wheel crane you were riding on have reached the first place in the world, and the localization rate has increased from 71% to 100%."

　　Xi Jinping asked: "Are the chips in the crane made in China?"

　　Shan Zenghai replied: "They are all made in China."

On March 6, 2024, Xi Jinping visited members of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee, science and technology circles, and environmental resources circles who attended the second session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and participated in a joint organizing meeting to listen to opinions and suggestions.

　　During this year's National Two Sessions, "new quality productivity" became a hot word discussed by delegates. It is innovation that plays a leading role, breaks away from the traditional economic growth mode and productivity development path, has the characteristics of high technology, high efficiency and high quality, and is in line with new development. The advanced productivity quality of the concept.

　　On March 6, Xi Jinping visited members of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee, science and technology circles, and environmental resources circles and attended a joint organizing meeting.

At the meeting, member Zhao Yuliang, a researcher at the National Center for Nanoscience, pointed out in his speech that the innovation chain and the industrial chain are difficult to meet, which is a sticking point that hinders the formation of new productivity. He suggested increasing the industrialization of scientific and technological innovation achievements.

　　"The Party Central Committee has formed a unified understanding on accelerating the promotion of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and the development of new productive forces, and is actively promoting it, but this is not a matter of time." Xi Jinping responded, "In the past, research and production were ' Two skins, now the conversion rate of scientific research results is much higher than in the past, especially the direct research and development results transformation of enterprises themselves, and the formation of a community between colleges and enterprises. This trend and direction is right, and we must speed up efforts to encourage and promote Policies will be further improved.”
