On the morning of July 8th, Zhejiang Province and China Academy of Engineering signed a scientific and technological cooperation agreement in Hangzhou. Before signing the contract, Che Jun, secretary of the provincial party committee and director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People’s Congress, had a discussion with Zhou Ji, president of China Academy of Engineering, and Li Xiaohong, secretary of the party group. Yuan Jiajun, deputy secretary of provincial party committee and governor, signed a cooperation agreement with Zhou Ji.
Che Jun thanked China Academy of Engineering for its long-term concern and support for the development of Zhejiang. He said that at present, Zhejiang is promoting the construction of “two high levels” under the guidance of the “Eighth Five-Year Plan” and accelerating economic transformation and upgrading with industrial innovation as the main battlefield. It is hoped that China Academy of Engineering will further increase its support for Zhejiang, take more scientific research projects to Zhejiang first and try them first, and help Zhejiang achieve high-level development.
Zhou Ji said that China Academy of Engineering is very optimistic about the future development of Zhejiang, and will take this cooperation as an opportunity to further improve services such as scientific consultation, technical assistance and talent support, and provide scientific, technological and intellectual support for Zhejiang’s economic transformation and upgrading.
According to the cooperation agreement, the two sides will conduct major strategic research and consultation, promote major livelihood projects such as “Five Waters Governance”, promote the development of strategic emerging industries such as information economy and intelligent manufacturing, promote the development of artificial intelligence 2.0 and industry 4.0, and promote the construction of scientific and technological innovation platforms such as Zhejiang National Demonstration Zone for the Transfer and Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements, Zhejiang National Information Economy Demonstration Zone, Hangzhou National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone and Hangzhou West Science and Technology Innovation Corridor. Promote the healthy development of academician expert workstations, promote the construction and development of various innovative carriers, carry out academic activities, strengthen academic guidance and strengthen the construction of talent teams, and accelerate the construction of innovative provinces and strong science and technology provinces in Zhejiang.
Chen Jinbiao attended the forum, and Gao Xingfu and eight academicians from China Academy of Engineering attended the signing ceremony.
It is reported that since the signing of the comprehensive scientific and technological cooperation agreement between the People’s Government of Zhejiang Province and the China Academy of Engineering in April 2008, the two sides have worked closely together and achieved remarkable results in strategic consultation, joint research and development, academician’s trip to Zhejiang, academician expert workstation construction and scientific and technological personnel training, which has provided strong support for the economic transformation and development of Zhejiang Province and the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements.
First, leverage the wisdom of experts to plan major development strategies. Relying on the team of experts from China Academy of Engineering, Zhejiang has made clear its thinking for the province’s economic and social development, and has made remarkable achievements in carrying out decision-making consultation on the comprehensive development strategy of Zhejiang’s coastal areas and islands, studying the subject of smart cities and jointly promoting the construction of people’s livelihood projects such as “Five Rivers Governing Together”.
Second, broaden cooperation channels and promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. With the strong support of China Academy of Engineering, more than 380 academicians from the two academies have conducted more than 70 trips to Zhejiang by academicians in Hangzhou, Ningbo, Taizhou, Jinhua, Jiaxing and Zhoushan, docked with more than 1,200 enterprises, and reached more than 160 cooperation intentions. Zhejiang has become one of the provinces with the largest scale, the widest scope and the most remarkable results in the cooperation between China Academy of Engineering and local governments. At the same time, it actively established academician expert workstations. By the end of 2016, the province had established 607 workstations at or above the municipal level, including 135 provincial-level stations and 345 academicians who signed up to build stations.
Third, strengthen personnel training and enhance the ability of independent innovation. Zhejiang Province and China Academy of Engineering take projects as the carrier, and increase the exchange of experts and personnel training. With the deepening of cooperation and the promotion of the project, a group of scientific and technological talents who dare to innovate and have outstanding comprehensive quality have been trained. According to incomplete statistics, the province has flexibly introduced more than 300 academicians who built the station and more than 4,000 high-level talents with innovative teams of academicians to directly carry out scientific and technological cooperation with enterprises.
