The 18th congress of the party has set out to implement a strategy of innovation-driven development, adhere to china's unique and autonomous path of innovation, and achieve the ambitious goal of “a significant increase in the contribution of scientific and technological progress to economic growth and its entry into the ranks of an innovative state”. It has given the country a clear direction, strategic mission and focus for the development of science and technology in the new era, giving it a new historical mission。
I. Accelerating the building of an innovative state is a necessary requirement for a fully functioning society
The key to achieving the ambitious goal of achieving a fully functioning society is to accelerate the transformation of economic development, to innovate the development paradigm, to solve development challenges, to promote the strategic restructuring of the economy, to address bottlenecks such as resource energy and the ecological environment that constrain development, to significantly improve the livelihood of the population, to raise the level of health security of the population, to create new drivers of development and growth points, to shift the driving force of development to higher quality and efficiency, to rely on innovation to drive economic and social well-being and rapid development, to significantly increase the contribution of scientific and technological progress to economic growth and to achieve scientific development. This requires us to accelerate innovative nation-building and to make our country a country with a strong capacity for innovation, a productive innovation, a good innovation environment and innovative entrepreneurial talent。
Strong innovation capabilities are required to make enterprises truly the subjects of technological innovation, with research institutes and universities playing their full role as sources of innovation, with a strong core of technological innovation capabilities that can gradually take a proactive place in the growing international economic, scientific and technological competition and new military changes; with a strong original innovation capacity that can take the lead in the new technological revolution; and with a strong system-integrated innovation and ingestion and re-innovation capacity that can effectively bring together innovative resources in an open environment, constantly increasing their autonomous innovation capacity and achieving good and rapid economic and social development in harmony with nature。
Innovation is effective in that it has an efficient and smooth technology transfer mechanism and an efficient and inclusive mechanism for the dissemination of scientific knowledge, which enables science, technology and innovation to produce significant economic and social benefits for the benefit of a wide range of people and to make a significant contribution to the country's advanced cultural development and the progress of civilization in the world. It has a system of innovation that is tailored to our national conditions and is developed in a coordinated manner. It is a system of knowledge innovation, technological innovation, defence science, technology and innovation, regional innovation, science and technology brokering services that has been fully developed。
A better environment for innovation is a more open and efficient flow of innovation elements, with better laws, policies and systems that inspire innovation; a more robust national science and technology macro-level decision-making and coherent institutional mechanisms, with a much more rational and shared allocation of science and technology resources; and a social climate with an advanced culture of innovation, good innovation entrepreneurship and a first-class innovation platform, a vibrant innovation ecosystem。
Innovative entrepreneurial talent emerges as a result of better institutional and institutional mechanisms and systems for the development, use, mobility and management of innovative talent, with the country having the world's largest team of innovative entrepreneurs with strong competitive and continuous innovation capabilities, and the emergence of innovative talent to open new areas, create new industries and support the sustained and rapid development of our economy and society。
Ii. Implementing innovation-driven development strategies to accelerate the building of innovative countries
