"Talking into the construction of Beijing International Science and Technology Innovation Center with a more firm responsibility" and "contribute your own strength to form an open innovation ecosystem with global competitiveness." In recent days, a series of important statements in the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on "Science and Technology are the primary productive force, talent is the primary resource, and innovation is the primary driving force" have aroused enthusiastic responses, and people in the Beijing science and technology education industry expressed their deep encouragement and excitement.
Technological innovation is a strategic support for improving social productivity and enhancing comprehensive national strength. From a horizontal perspective, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is emerging. Science and Technology has never had a profound impact on the destiny of the country as it is today, and has never had a profound impact on people's lives as it is today. Whoever can find a breakthrough in scientific and technological innovation can seize the opportunity for future development. Looking at the vertical direction, my country's economic development has entered a new normal, and factor-driven and investment scale-driven are gradually giving way to innovation-driven. In the past decade, the "Sky Eye" sounding, the "Jiaolong" explores the sea, the "Shenzhou" flying, the " Beidou " networking, the "Mozi" communication, and the soaring of large aircraft... A number of major innovations distributed in high-end equipment, information technology and other fields have amazed the world and strongly supported the "China" to break through the waves and move forward. However, including advanced process chips, there are still some "bottleneck" technical fields in my country. Only by vigorously improving the ability of independent innovation can we break through blockade and suppression, gain the initiative, gain the advantage, and win the future.
"The strength of the country is due to people, and the success of talents comes from learning." The key to better the "first driving force" of Pengpai Technology Innovation lies in activate the "first resource" of talents, and one of the fundamental ones is education. By continuously running education that satisfies the people, we will open up new fields and new tracks for development, and shape new momentum and new advantages in development. In recent years, my country's higher education has actively combined its own development with serving the country's economic and social development, innovated systems and mechanisms, encouraged scientific research funds to be integrated, scientific research equipment wake up, and the R&D results to be transformed. While cultivating batches of scientific research talents, it has also promoted more achievements in the "ivory tower" to go down from bookshelf and go to the shelves. According to statistics, my country's universities currently gather more than 60% of high-level talents in the country, and send millions of professional talents to various industries every year. It has become the most competitive think tank and source of talents today.
International Science and Technology Innovation Center construction is important to the country. Beijing has the ability and responsibility to be the vanguard of innovation-driven development and serve the "main force". As the best district, Beijing has many universities and research institutes, with a large number of high-quality educational resources, and has the conditions and ability to make more contributions to basic research and original innovation. For some time, from coordinating the construction of the main platform of "Three Cities and One Zone" and the of the Zhongguancun National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone, to formulating and implementing a series of policies such as "30 Science and Technology Innovation Technological Innovation" and "10+3" in high-end industries, Beijing has worked hard to open up the positive cycle of "industry, education and research" through serious creation of the environment, building platforms, gathering talents, and taking on tasks, and has successively nurtured a number of world-class major original achievements such as new gene editing technology, Tianji, quantum direct communication prototypes, and "Chang'an Chain". The advantages of scientific and technological resources are truly transforming into innovative development advantages.
Innovation is an achievement, a concept, a method, and even more spirit. On the new journey, with the responsibility and action of others, we will coordinate the development of science and technology, education, and talents, and accelerate the creation of major scientific centers and innovation highlands in the world. Beijing will live up to expectations and provide stronger strategic support for high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement.
