Build the "the Belt and Road" into an innovation road and make innovation an important force to promote development. With the gradual approach of the beautiful blueprint, a "21st century digital silk road" connected by advanced science and technology such as big data, cloud computing, smart city, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology and quantum computer has slowly appeared in front of the world.
Highlight 1: scientific and technological cooperation has become an important part of the construction of the "the Belt and Road"
In recent years, China has trained tens of thousands of scientific, technological and management talents for countries along the line, and widely held various technical training courses in countries along the line; A number of joint laboratories or research centers have been jointly built with countries along the line, and the cooperation of science and Technology Parks has become an international business card for the development of China's high-tech industry; A series of regional and bilateral technology transfer centers and innovation cooperation centers for ASEAN, South Asia, Central Asia, Arab States, central and Eastern Europe and other regions and countries have been built, and the regional technology transfer cooperation network has initially taken shape
It is understood that the Ministry of science and technology and other ministries and commissions have jointly issued the special plan for promoting scientific and technological innovation cooperation in the construction of the "the Belt and Road" in September 2016, and the Ministry of science and technology has also specially organized the research and development of the "the Belt and Road" scientific and technological innovation cooperation action plan.
The plan proposes that, on the basis of existing cooperation with relevant countries along the line, the Chinese government will launch specific actions in four aspects: scientific and cultural exchanges, joint laboratory construction, science and Technology Park cooperation and technology transfer, so as to meet the common challenges faced by countries along the line, share the experience of innovation driven development with countries along the line, and drive countries along the line to continuously improve their innovation capacity, Give full play to the supporting and leading role of scientific and technological innovation in promoting the construction of the "the Belt and Road".
China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) has continuously promoted advantageous industries to the international market, and has made continuous efforts in overseas investment, acquisition and merger of overseas enterprises, construction of regional marketing network, etc. According to the relevant person in charge of Aerospace Science and industry, by strengthening scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation with countries along the "the Belt and Road", aerospace science and industry will strive to further master leading technologies and continuously enhance competitiveness in relevant fields.
Highlight 2: advanced technology connects the 21st century digital silk road
C919 test flight, rendezvous and docking of tianzhou-1 and tiangong-2, launching of aircraft carrier and advent of quantum computer... According to Huang Wei, Vice Minister of science and technology, in 2016, China's total social R & D (Research and development) expenditure reached 1544 billion yuan, accounting for 2.1% of GDP; The turnover of national technology contracts reached 1140.7 billion yuan, the contribution rate of scientific and technological progress increased to 56.2%, and important progress was made in the construction of an innovative country.
The improvement of China's scientific and technological strength is inseparable from the support of international scientific and technological innovation cooperation and scientific and technological diplomacy. Huang Wei said that through international scientific and technological cooperation, China has solved a series of technical bottlenecks, increased trust and dispelled doubts through mechanisms such as China foreign innovation dialogue, and created a good international environment for promoting economic transformation and development.
So far, China has established scientific and technological cooperation relations with 158 countries, regions and international organizations, signed 111 intergovernmental scientific and technological cooperation agreements, and joined more than 200 intergovernmental international scientific and technological cooperation organizations.
Guangqi group, which has established an international innovation headquarters in Israel, has connected with the international market in an all-round way in recent years and strengthened international exchanges and cooperation in artificial intelligence, big data and other fields. Liuruopeng, President of Guangqi group, introduced that in the future, Guangqi will further implement the coverage of the "the Belt and Road" optical fiber infrastructure network, form a new international channel from China to South Asia, Europe and Africa, and help connect the 21st century digital silk road.
Focus 3: cultivate scientific and technological talents, build dreams and innovate the future
Adhering to the Silk Road spirit of "mutual learning and mutual learning", by playing the "characteristic card" of science and technology, cooperating with telling the "Chinese story", we have cultivated a group of scientific and technological talents with mutual knowledge and trust, promoted the "people to people connection" of countries along the line, and laid a networking and conceptual foundation for scientific and technological innovation cooperation.
Huang Wei introduced that next, China will face the scientific and technological human resources of the countries along the line, such as scientific and technological managers, scientific and technological researchers, technicians and scientific and technological organization personnel, strengthen extensive exchanges and interactions with the scientific and technological circles of the countries along the line in key scientific and technological fields, and encourage and support the countries along the line to carry out innovation and entrepreneurship cooperation and exchanges in China.
In five years, 2500 young scientists from countries along the line have been attracted to China to engage in short-term scientific research work, 5000 scientific and technological and management personnel from countries along the line have been trained, 1000 young people have exchanged science, a number of mobile science and technology museums have been built, a number of Science popularization exhibitions have been launched, and 20 regional cooperation organizations have been jointly established with non-governmental science and technology organizations in countries along the line... Huang Wei said that a series of practical measures, Undoubtedly, it will greatly improve the scale and quality of scientific, technological and cultural exchanges between China and countries along the "the Belt and Road" and form a multi-level and diversified scientific, technological and cultural exchange mechanism.
In addition, the Ministry of science and technology will also strengthen people to people and cultural exchanges by supporting outstanding young scientists to work in China, holding training courses on applicable technology and science and technology management, promoting scientific and technological personnel exchanges and youth science popularization exchanges, building an international science and technology organization platform, and strengthening the communication of science and technology innovation policies.
"The innovation tree of the 'the Belt and Road' is growing." Huang Wei said that in the Internet era, young people from all over the world gather here to jointly create an entrepreneurial space and an Innovation workshop, which will surely achieve the youth dream of the future generation.
