The general secretary recently made important instructions during his inspection in Shanghai, requiring Shanghai to accelerate its progress towards a science and technology innovation center with global influence, and clarified the further deployment of "strengthening key core technology research", "accelerating the cultivation of world-class high-end industrial clusters", "accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system", "continuously improving the status of the international economic center and the influence of global economic governance", and pointed out the way forward for Shanghai to build a science and technology innovation center.
From the perspective of domestic development needs, the construction of an international science and technology innovation center is a strategic fulcrum for scientific and technological modernization to promote Chinese-style modernization. At present, we are comprehensively promoting the great cause of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, and whether we can build a modern socialist country in an all-round way as scheduled, self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology are the key factors. Only by promoting high-quality development through scientific and technological innovation, accumulating new momentum, and outperforming new tracks can we win the historical initiative in the process of Chinese-style modernization.
From the perspective of international competition, in the face of great changes unseen in a century, the layout and development of international science and technology innovation centers has become an important measure for countries around the world to formulate a new round of science and technology strategies. A competitive international science and technology innovation center will become a highland for global science and technology innovation activities, a reservoir for global science and technology innovation elements, and a distribution center for the global innovation network, which is of great significance for improving the country's comprehensive competitiveness.
From the perspective of the existing foundation, as a leading city in the Yangtze River Delta region, Shanghai should become a pioneer in high-quality development and set an example for other regions. The Yangtze River Delta region is one of the regions with the most active economic development, the highest degree of openness and the strongest innovation ability in China. Over the years, the GDP of the Yangtze River Delta region has accounted for about a quarter of the country's total, contributing about 30% to the national economic growthThe major scientific and technological infrastructure under construction or has been built accounts for about one-third of the country, and the number of national enterprise technology centers accounts for 26 of the country4%。The Yangtze River Delta region has brought together many high-level national strategic scientific and technological forces, and has a strong economic foundation and outstanding talent advantages. The construction of an international science and technology innovation center in Shanghai, the leading city, is an important mission entrusted to Shanghai, and it is also a natural choice.
Shanghai has made great progress in building a "science and technology innovation center with global influence". From 2014 to 2022, Shanghai's R&D investment increased from 86.2 billion yuan to 1981600 million yuan, R&D investment intensity from 366% to 444%。C919 large passenger aircraft, the first domestic large cruise ship "Aida Modu", the Mengtian experimental module of the Chinese space station, the Long March 6A launch vehicle, and China's first domestic proton ** system ...... approved for marketingA large number of Shanghai's scientific and technological innovation "business cards" shine brightly. The three leading industries of integrated circuits, biomedicine, and artificial intelligence are developing into innovation highlands in Shanghai.
It is expected that the three major international science and technology innovation centers in Beijing, Shanghai and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will take off as soon as possible, and become the explorers and leaders of China's efforts to accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, accelerate the cultivation of national strategic scientific and technological forces, accelerate the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance, and accelerate the construction of a world scientific and technological power.
