[Talent is the first resource, pen talk].
Author: Xu Fang (Special Researcher of Beijing Research Center for Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Capital University of Economics).
In September this year, the general secretary pointed out during his inspection in Heilongjiang that "actively cultivate future industries and accelerate the formation of new quality productivity". The first economic work conference held in mid-December again mentioned "new quality productivity", emphasizing that "it is necessary to promote industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, especially to promote new industries, new models and new kinetic energy with disruptive technologies and cutting-edge technologies, and develop new quality productivity".
To develop new quality productive forces, it is necessary to establish a new outlook on talent. In today's era, science and technology are the primary productive forces, talents are the first resources, and innovation is the first driving force. Under the new situation, we must unswervingly seek new quality productivity and core competitiveness for talents, science and technology, and innovation, so that the talent chain can support the industrial chain, innovation chain, and capital chain, so as to continuously form new momentum to promote economic and social development.
To accelerate the formation of new quality productivity, it is necessary to gather high-level innovative talents, especially to build a key path for the talent chain to support the industrial chain, innovation chain and capital chain: that is, the independent training of top-notch innovative talents, the attraction and agglomeration of the world's top innovative talents, and the in-depth advanced integration of the talent chain and the "three chains", so as to inject talent momentum into the formation of new quality productivity, provide talent support, and give full play to talent dividends.
Living water at the source: Independently cultivate high-level innovative talents.
Independently cultivating high-level innovative talents is a basic project for speeding up the formation of new quality productive forces. In 2022, the full-time equivalent of scientific research and experimental development (RD) personnel in China was 63540,000 person-years, RD expenditure 3814400 million yuan, ranking first in the world. However, some key core technology fields are still subject to the constraints of others, and the integrity, advancement, and security of the industrial system are under threat. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on the development needs of the new quality productive forces, strengthen the reform and innovation of the independent training system, mode and mechanism of top-notch innovative talents, and cultivate a group of high-level talents with international vision, cutting-edge ability and innovative spirit, so as to provide the source of living water for the new quality productive forces.
Strengthen basic education, cultivate scientific literacy and innovation consciousness of primary and secondary school students through research on the growth law of innovative talents, and stimulate innovation potential and enthusiasm. Strengthen the construction of basic disciplines, attach importance to basic theoretical research, and provide solid knowledge reserves and theoretical support for innovative talents. In particular, we should strengthen the cultivation of basic skills such as mathematics and computer programming.
Strengthen professional training, especially the cultivation of science, technology, engineering and mathematics professionals (STEM talents). It is necessary to keep up with the development direction of new quality productive forces, optimize the setting of majors, add majors related to new technologies, new industries, and new business forms, and cultivate professionals who can adapt to the development of strategic emerging industries and future industries. Implement the digital and intelligent transformation of professional courses, focusing on cultivating professionals who are full of practical innovation ability and awareness, have superb professional skills and can solve practical problems.
Strengthen comprehensive training, cultivate students' patriotism, social responsibility and team spirit, adhere to openness and inclusiveness, strengthen international exchanges and cooperation, broaden international horizons, and improve cross-cultural communication skills. Strengthen interdisciplinary and professional integration, cultivate students' interdisciplinary knowledge, cross-professional skills and cross-field innovation ability, and cultivate high-level innovative talents with cross-border innovative thinking.
Important way: Attract and gather top innovative talents.
The introduction of top innovative talents is an effective way to accelerate the formation of new quality productivity, and an important way to gather global innovation resources. It is necessary to broaden the reform and innovation of channels, methods and mechanisms for the introduction of innovative talents, and gather global human resources for the development of new quality productive forces.
Strengthen the introduction of top innovative talents abroad, and expand talent channels for new quality productivity. Use various platforms and mechanisms, such as the "Overseas High-level Talent Introduction Program", to attract and introduce a group of innovative talents with international influenceUse measures such as the "Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition for Overseas Students" to support and serve a group of students studying abroad with cutting-edge innovative achievementsAt the same time, we will strengthen the training and guidance of international students in China, and use innovative measures such as the "China Scholarship" to attract outstanding talents with innovative potential and willingness to stay in China, so as to provide a new generation of global strength for new quality productivity.
Strengthen the cross-border introduction of innovative talents, and add talent vitality to new quality productivity. Through the introduction of interdisdisciplinary, cross-field and cross-industry innovative talents, we will break down disciplinary barriers, field barriers and industry barriers, and introduce a group of high-level talents with cross-border thinking and innovation ability. In particular, it is necessary to strengthen the introduction of transnational, cross-regional, and cross-cultural innovative talents, and break down national borders, geographical restrictions, and cultural barriers. Improve the efficiency of talent flow, promote the smooth flow of talent resources, and attract high-level innovative talents from all over the world.
In addition, strategic talents stand at the forefront of international science and technology and lead independent innovation in science and technology, which is the key force for the formation of new quality productivity. It is necessary to focus on the "neck" technology field and advantageous industrial fields, cultivate and make good use of strategic scientists and iconic leading talents, and give priority to the allocation of scientific and technological resources, team building, and talent services.
The establishment of an innovative talent ecosystem is a safeguard measure to accelerate the gathering of top innovative talents, and an important way to create a good innovation culture and atmosphere. Efforts should be made to form an innovative talent ecosystem with talents as the core, innovation as the driving force, collaboration as the mechanism, sharing as the goal, green as the concept, and openness as the characteristics, so as to provide all-round, full-chain, and whole-process support and services for innovative talents.
Key link: in-depth integration of talent chain and "three chains".
Under the new situation, the cultivation of new quality productive forces requires the development and cultivation of new energy, new materials, advanced manufacturing, electronic information and other strategic emerging industries and future industries in a prominent position. It is necessary to take the talent chain as the general traction, activate the innovation chain, serve the industrial chain, and leverage the capital chain, promote talent work to empower the development of the industrial chain, and better play the integration effect.
The deep and advanced integration of talent chain, innovation chain, industrial chain and capital chain is the key link to accelerate the formation of new quality productivity, and an important way to improve the efficiency and effect of innovation. It is necessary to give full play to the synergistic effect of the "four chains", realize the efficient allocation and optimal combination of innovation elements, and improve the overall efficiency of new quality productivity.
Strengthen the top-level design, establish a collaborative promotion mechanism, ensure that the talent chain is laid out around the industrial chain and innovation chain, and form a virtuous circle with talent as the core, innovation as the driving force, industry as the support, and capital as the guarantee, so as to realize the efficient allocation of talents, technology, industry and capital.
Strengthen data support, establish a data sharing platform, use big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other technologies to analyze and mine the "four chains" data interconnection, and provide intelligent support for decision-making and management of innovative talent development. The talent chain matches the innovation needs and industrial development in terms of solidifying the chain, strengthening the chain, supplementing the chain, and extending the chain, so as to provide intellectual support for the new quality productivity. Strengthen the industrial project support for innovative talents, support innovative talents to carry out new technologies, new products and other industrial activities, optimize the distribution, incentives, feedback and other links of innovative talents' industrial achievements, so that scientific and technological innovation can meet the needs of industrial development and truly serve the development of the real economy. Overcome the phenomenon of "two skins" between the industrial chain and the innovation chain, make up for the shortcomings of the industrial chain, and improve the resilience of the industrial chain.
Qianqiu foundation, talent-oriented. In the face of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, it is urgent to endow the productive forces with more talent support, scientific and technological content and innovative connotation, so as to realize the leap from traditional productivity to new quality productivity and provide strong support and lasting impetus for high-quality development.
