Understanding the 20th National Congress ⑤ ｜ Promoting the overall efficiency of the national innovation system with ＂three firsts＂

[Editor’s note]The Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress has clearly declared what flag the Party will raise, what road it will take, what mental state it will take and what goal it will move towards in the new journey, and has made a macro outlook on the two-step strategic arrangement for building a socialist modern power in an all-round way, and scientifically planned the objectives, tasks and major policies for the development of the Party and the state in the next five years or even longer. The Shanghai Federation of Social Sciences and the "Thoughts" column of Jiefang Daily Shangguan News jointly launched a series of short theoretical videos on "Reading the Top 20", inviting authoritative experts to lead us to systematically interpret and deeply analyze this programmatic document. Today, the fifth episode "Improving the overall efficiency of the national innovation system with" three firsts "was broadcast.

Guest speaker: Chen Qiang (Tongji University, school of economics and management, distinguished professor)

　

hostReport to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Party pointed out that education, science and technology and talents are the basic and strategic supports for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, and summarized the importance of science and technology, talents and innovation with "three firsts".

Qiang ChenImproving the overall efficiency of national innovation system is a complex system engineering, which involves the cooperation of multiple subjects, the integration of various elements, the integration of various capabilities and the linkage of multiple mechanisms. Science and technology are the primary productive forces, talents are the primary resources, and innovation is the primary driving force. This new generalization points out the direction and path for improving the overall efficiency of the national innovation system.

First of all, in the process of the formation of the first productive force and the transformation of the first motive force, the first resource plays a fundamental and leading role. Secondly, the cultivation and growth of the "first resource" must be embedded in the process of the formation of the "first productive force" and the transformation of the "first power". Third, only through the connection between the "first productive force" and the "first motive force" can we constantly push up each other’s energy levels in high-level interaction. Fourthly, the supply quality of the "first productive force" and the guarantee ability of the "first resource" determine the transformation efficiency and energy level of the "first power".

hostScience and technology is the primary productive force. How to strengthen the effective supply of this "primary productive force"?

Qiang ChenFirst, we should speed up the basic conditions and capacity building of scientific and technological innovation. Advance layout in major basic frontiers and key core technologies, and carry out strategic, strategic and reserve research.

Second, we must accelerate the creation of strategic scientific and technological forces that can cope with multi-task situations. Constantly break through the bottleneck of "stuck neck" technology, forge a "trump card", and accelerate the research and development of subversive technologies.

Third, we should explore the construction of a new national system that is more independent, coordinated and open. Relying on the institutional advantage of "concentrating on doing great things", give full play to the decisive role of the market in the allocation of scientific and technological resources.

Fourth, we must strengthen regional innovation coordination. It resonates at the level of mission and vision, and then reaches a consensus at the level of action, and then shares responsibility and resources, and finally realizes the co-construction and co-governance of the science and technology community.

Fifth, we must adhere to a higher level of opening up in the field of scientific and technological innovation. Report to the 20th CPC National Congress stressed that it is necessary to "expand international scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation, strengthen the construction of an international scientific research environment, and form an open and innovative ecology with global competitiveness". Relying on large-scale scientific facilities, organize international large-scale scientific plans and attract talents from all over the world. Focus on the basic frontier and major issues related to the common destiny of mankind, set up an open research fund, and gather global intellectual resources.

hostTalent is the first resource. How can we continuously enhance the support ability of the "first resource"?

　

Qiang ChenTo achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance, China depends on high-level science and technology talents in the final analysis. At present, there are some problems in talent training, such as delayed response, inaccurate focus, unbalanced structure, low quality and low efficiency, which need systematic policy.

Report to the 20th CPC National Congress innovatively put forward the "trinity" of education, science and technology and talents, insisted on giving priority to the development of education, self-reliance and self-reliance in science and technology, and talent-leading drive, accelerated the construction of a strong country in education, science and technology and talents, persisted in educating the party and the country, comprehensively improved the quality of independent training of talents, and made great efforts to cultivate top-notch innovative talents and use them to gather talents from all over the world. First of all, further improve the top-level design of talent supply to meet the complex needs of the national innovation system for talents. Secondly, strengthen the understanding of the regularity of talent growth. Carry out reasonable policy design and institutional arrangements, and constantly improve the institutional support for talent development. Third, focus on the country’s major strategic needs, promote the integration of science and education and production and education, and boost the growth of talents.

hostHow can we speed up the transformation efficiency of "innovation", the "first driving force"?

　

Qiang Chen: First, we must guide capital empowerment. Strengthen policy guidance and regulation, and create a social environment conducive to the development of venture capital. Give play to the guiding and leading role of state-owned venture capital in investment in emerging technology fields.

Second, we must strengthen service empowerment. Through policy guidance and market cultivation, we will accelerate the gathering of functional resources and build a service system for scientific and technological innovation.

Third, we must promote platform empowerment. Accelerate the opening of basic scientific research platforms. At the same time, a number of open source and open innovation platforms will be laid out to activate social innovation forces.

Fourth, we must promote data empowerment. Explore the service mechanism and rule system of data collection, development, utilization and sharing, build a "digital engine" and boost the innovation and development of digital SMEs.

Fifth, we must realize scene empowerment. Focus on social development needs, construct and open more abundant social application scenarios, and promote the interaction between scientific and technological achievements and social needs.

Sixth, we must explore governance empowerment. Improve the quality and efficiency of government system supply. Give play to the role of multiple subjects and carry out ethical governance of science and technology.
