Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities announced a list of "specialized, specialized, specialized, and specialized" enterprises. Xianggang Ruitai and Harbolepu, affiliated to the China Institute of Building Materials Science (hereinafter referred to as the General Academy), won the title of the third batch of specialized, specialized, specialized, and specialized, and specialized, and specialized, and specialized, and specialized, and specialized, were awarded the title of "specialized, specialized, specialized, and specialized, and specialized, and specialized, and specialized, enterprises of the province at the 2021 year.
"In recent years, the General Academy of Sciences has made major breakthroughs in its technologies, and related achievements and services are widely used in major projects and projects such as important national venues, hydropower dams, airport high-speed rail, aerospace, space exploration, hypersonics, weapons and equipment. The overall scientific and technological level has changed from following acceleration to parallel leading..." Speaking of the achievements made, Hou Diyang, deputy general manager of the General Academy of Sciences, sighed a lot. While interpreting the innovation code of the General Academy, he also shared his thoughts on the transformation path of the General Academy's scientific research results.
Interpretation of innovation password
The predecessor of the General Institute can be traced back to the former North China Kiln Company Research Institute of the Ministry of Heavy Industry, which was established in October 1950. That was the first building materials research institution in New China and was known as the "cradle and birthplace of building materials technology in New China." In 2006, China National Building Materials Group integrated 12 scientific research and design institutes and established the general institute.
"As the largest and most powerful scientific research and development center in the field of China's building materials and inorganic non-metals, the General Academy has a profound scientific research 'gene'." Hou Diyang said that the General Academy actively practiced the corporate mission of China Building Materials Group to "create a better world of materials", and has completed more than 3,500 important national and industry scientific research projects; won more than 1,200 provincial and ministerial awards; presided over the formulation and revision of national and industry standards; more than 2,800 patents were authorized; it has 8 national, provincial and ministerial laboratories, 13 national and provincial engineering and technology research centers; it has nearly 5,000 scientific researchers, and has a postdoctoral research mobile station and an academician and expert workstation.
Analyzing the experience of the General Academy in promoting scientific and technological innovation, Hou Diyang believes that first, we must have a high political stance and be able to shoulder the national responsibilities of central enterprises; secondly, we must implement the new development concept and improve the innovation mechanism.
In recent years, the General Academy has continued to increase its investment in scientific research, and R&D investment in 2021 accounts for 8.7%, "guaranteeing the basic foundation of innovative development." The General Academy has established a professional and younger science and technology committee as a technical decision-making consulting agency to conduct top-level design for enterprise development; through classification and layered implementation of medium- and long-term incentive policies, the horse racing mechanism is used to allow outstanding teams and outstanding talents to "reveal the list and take charge"; by improving the results classification and transformation mechanism, science and technology backbones are encouraged to improve their innovation capabilities by leading teams and students.
This series of measures has created a "innovation and development greenhouse" for the General Hospital. Its innovation environment is getting better and better, and excellent results are constantly emerging. Among them, the low-thermal silicate cement developed by the Institute of Cement Science and New Building Materials has broken through the technical difficulties of dicalcium silicate mineral activation and stability, and achieved a breakthrough in the dam construction technology of seamless concrete dams. It has been successively applied to hydropower projects such as Three Gorges, Wudongde, Baihetan and Xiluodu; the doped quartz glass melting furnace independently developed by the Institute of Quartz and Special Glass solved the problem of microbubble internal radiation-resistant quartz glass, and its products are used in the complete series of "Chang'e", "Beidou" and "Shenzhou"; Harbin FRP Research Institute Co., Ltd.'s load-bearing truncation cone, gas cylinder mounting bracket, composite magnetometer extension rod and other products and key technologies, It has won many awards including the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, and has been listed on "Shenzhou", "Tianhe" and "Tianwen"; the Curing Center has conquered the "bottleneck" key technology of high-level waste liquid glass curing, completed the domestic structural design of core Joule furnace glass curing equipment, and developed a special glass bead curing substrate; the Institute of Special Glass Fiber and Optoelectronic Functional Materials has broken through the integrated coupling technology of optical fiber and anodic light cone, solving the high-resolution, high-definition reading and transmission of high-energy cosmic ray detection signals, greatly improving the sensitivity, spatial resolution and sky patrol capabilities of the space high-energy cosmic radiation detection facility.
In addition, all units under the General Institute have a set of "unique skills" based on the industry. They may have a leading advantage in the field of special functional materials, which not only meets major national needs, but also solves a certain "bottleneck" technology; they may make breakthroughs in the field of high-end equipment and testing equipment, promoting the transformation and upgrading of the building materials industry; they may devote themselves to green development and build smart factories to become a benchmark enterprise for green and intelligentization in the building materials industry; or use scientific testing and evaluation technology to protect green and low-carbon...
Practice "unique skills" well
Strengthen basic research, promote applied research, carry out special actions to supplement and strengthen chains, and accelerate the resolution of the "bottleneck" problem has always been the central government's requirements and expectations for enterprises. Developing specialized, specialized and new small and medium-sized enterprises will help improve the level of upgrading my country's industrial base and modernization of the industrial chain.
"The 5 enterprises selected as ‘specialized and innovative’ enterprises, and the logic behind them is technological innovation and mechanism innovation." Hou Diyang said, "This is a full affirmation of the scientific and technological innovation of the General Academy, and it inspires all enterprises of the General Academy to practice ‘unique skills’ in their respective sub-sectors, create ‘fist products’, focus on their main business, practice internal skills, strengthen innovation, and strive to become ‘single champions’ or ‘supporting experts’ who master unique skills.”
Hou Diyang said that as the "14th Five-Year Plan" enters the year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the General Academy will continue to increase its R&D investment. It is expected to invest 1.21 billion yuan in 2022 to vigorously promote scientific and technological innovation, and plan to encourage originality, discipline construction, team building, improve incentive and guarantee mechanisms, and promote the transformation and implementation of results.
General Academy will focus on the "four aspects" and major key issues in the industry, and the three missions of China Building Materials Group's "Materials Create a Better World" and the three missions of the General Academy to "Serve Beautiful Environmental Protection, Service National Major Projects, and Service National Defense and Military Industry Construction". In combination with the "14th Five-Year Plan" for the General Academy's scientific and technological innovation, we will focus on basic research and building original technology source, key core technology research, green and low-carbon technology, and intelligence, strengthen research on innovative and disruptive technologies, form a batch of new technologies and new materials, and solve the national "bottleneck" and common technical problems in the industry.
At the same time, the General Institute will actively consolidate traditional advantageous disciplines, expand emerging disciplines, and build a first-class discipline system; through mechanism innovation, promote and screen out a batch of transformable, applicable and implementable results from the laboratory to the industry and the market; promote innovation through positive incentives and reverse constraints, so that people who want to innovate, dare to innovate, and can innovate will truly calm down, devote themselves to scientific research, and create results.
Planning Results Transformation Path
"After the General Academy is converted into a technology-based enterprise, it should emphasize its own corporate attributes." Hou Diyang believes that industrialization can better reflect the value of scientific research results and better serve the national economy. At the same time, the test of the market can also force technological innovation. Therefore, the General Academy will further improve the "scientist + entrepreneur" operation model, make good use of the listed company platform, and bring new technological achievements to the market.
The General Academy has many scientific research talents and research results, but there are still bottlenecks in the transformation and industrialization of results. The biggest problem facing now is how to stimulate innovation vitality and transform results into commodities.
"The General Academy has many achievements with a very good commercial foundation, but the transformation is not successful." Hou Diyang said, "In fact, we are enterprises, and we are also technology-based enterprises. We should use the market to prove the value of our research results."
At present, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements is not only a problem of the General Academy, but also a common "pain point" for technology-based enterprises, research institutes, universities and other institutions. Hou Diyang believes that for the General Academy, people's ideas and concepts have changed at present, and constraints and incentive mechanisms have been established, but the specific paths for the transformation and implementation of results still need to be explored and planned.
In the future, the General Academy will classify scientific research results. For mature technologies, they can directly "install" them into their own listed company platform; introduce investment fund models for projects with low maturity, and cultivate them with the help of investment funds established by group companies and local governments.
"In recent years, the country has continuously issued policies to promote the transfer and transformation of results.The "Science and Technology Progress Law of the People's Republic of China" revised and implemented on January 1 this year clearly states that the state encourages the use of applied research to drive basic research and promote the integrated development of basic research and applied research and the transformation and integration of results. "Hou Diyang said, "Whether it is the national policy and regulations, or the "1+3" development model proposed by the General Academy of Sciences to lead the three main businesses of "special functional materials, high-end intelligent equipment and testing instruments, and high-tech service industries", have created convenience for the transformation of results. We must make good use of these conditions, combine technology and capital, and let the achievements accumulated by the General Hospital over the years exert a "spillover effect". ”
