In "Global Innovation Index 2022", my country has performed outstandingly in many segmented indicators: in terms of innovation investment, the domestic market size and the proportion of companies providing formal training rank first, the domestic industrial diversification and industrial cluster development rank second, the global R&D companies average expenditure, the top three universities average score, the proportion of total capital formation GDP; in terms of innovation output, the number of domestic patent applications, the number of domestic utility model applications, the number of domestic industrial design applications, the number of domestic trademark applications, the number of domestic trademark applications, the number of labor output value growth, and the proportion of creative product exports in the total trade volume.
The experts at the meeting believe that in recent years, my country's global ranking in the field of innovation has steadily improved, and has embarked on a development path from strong talents and strong science and technology to strong industries, strong economy and strong country. The whole society's R&D investment increased from 1.03 trillion yuan in 2012 to 2.79 trillion yuan in 2021, and the intensity of R&D investment increased from 1.91% in 2012 to 2.44% in 2021. China's position and role in the global innovation landscape have undergone new changes.
World Intellectual Property Organization "Global Innovation Index 2022" head and co-contributor Shasha Vincent introduced that despite the COVID-19 epidemic, R&D and other investments in promoting global innovation activities will still flourish in 2021. R&D expenditure of top global enterprises increased by nearly 10% in 2021, reaching more than US$900 billion, higher than in 2019. This growth is driven primarily by four industries: ICT hardware and electrical equipment, software and ICT services, pharmaceutical and biotechnology, construction and industrial metals.
"Global Innovation Index 2022" predicts: If the innovation ecosystem is carefully supported, a new era of innovation-driven growth led by the wave of digital revolution and the wave of deep scientific innovation may take off.
Liu Hua, director of the China Office of the World Intellectual Property Organization, said that the Global Innovation Index 2022 reminds the direction of global innovation-driven growth. The world is experiencing a wave of digital revolution and a wave of deep scientific innovation, which complement each other and promote together. Among them, the wave of digital revolution represented by artificial intelligence , blockchain, cloud computing , Internet of Things, big data, metaverse, and third-generation Internet technology will profoundly change the development and progress of tradition and new economy; the wave of in-depth scientific innovation represented by biotechnology, biochemical technology, and new material nanotechnology will profoundly change the future fields of life and health, bioagriculture, environmental protection, transportation and other fields.
, Director of the International Intellectual Property Research Center of Peking University Yi Jiming believes that at present, China's innovation and its output generally show a good positive relationship with economic and social development. Adhering to the continuous investment in scientific and technological research and development and the guidance and support of industrial policies, China's innovation investment will be transformed into more and higher-quality innovative outputs.
