Scientific and technological innovation is the first driving force to lead development. Recently, the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government issued a circular, and Beilun District won the highest honor of scientific and technological work in the province, “Science and Technology Innovation Ding”, becoming the only county (city, district) in the city that has won this honor so far, adding a “golden business card” to the comprehensive strength of science and technology in the whole region.
In the past three years, the added value of high-tech industries and the R&D investment of industrial enterprises have ranked among the top three in the province. The number of high-tech enterprises and national small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises has doubled in three years; Ranked in the top 50 of the top 100 national innovation areas; Encouraged by the supervision of the State Council’s “Public Entrepreneurship and Innovation Demonstration Base” … “Beilun always regards scientific and technological innovation as an important source of industrial transformation and upgrading, accelerates the integration of industrial chain, innovation chain and talent chain, and promotes the new improvement of the comprehensive scientific and technological strength of the whole region. Create a demonstration site for science and technology empowerment industries.” The relevant person in charge of Beilun District Science and Technology Bureau said.
Strengthen the leadership of leading enterprises and deepen the cultivation of the “industrial chain”. Since 2021, Beilun District has taken the lead in introducing the implementation plan for tackling key core technologies in the city, and the investment in science and technology in urban areas is about 2..500 million yuan, guiding leading industrial enterprises to increase investment in research and development, focusing on key industrial fields such as high-end equipment, key auto parts and functional new materials, and taking the lead in strengthening key core technology research. Haitian Seiko’s project “Key Technology and Application of Machine Design and Manufacturing Process in High-performance Gantry Machining Center” has overcome three major problems, namely, the difficulty in designing the whole machine forward, the difficulty in improving the machining accuracy and the difficulty in maintaining the performance of machine tools, and has broken foreign technical barriers and market monopoly, and won the second prize of national technological invention. At present, Beilun District has implemented 25 national projects such as the National Science and Technology Support Plan and the 863 Plan.
Create a high-energy regional innovation platform and support “innovation chain” with a strong foundation. Seize the opportunity of the construction of Yongjiang Science and Technology Zone, vigorously strengthen the construction of science and technology platform and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and strive to build “Headquarters Port” into a cutting-edge science and technology source facing the world. Recently, Zhou Demin, a research team of Peking University Ningbo Institute of Marine Medicine, made a breakthrough in the research and development of tumor personalized treatment vaccine, and achieved the goal of treating lung cancer with influenza virus infection without causing a cold, and preventing melanoma, breast cancer and colorectal cancer from transferring to the lung on a mouse model, which broke through the problem that domestic and foreign industries have been unable to solve for more than 30 years, and the project will be transformed. At present, Beilun District has built six “heavyweight” regional innovation platforms in conjunction with Beihang University, Peking University and the “Chinese Academy of Sciences” system.
Strengthen the introduction of high-end talents and improve the “talent chain”. Beilun District has successively issued talent policies such as “12 overseas engineers are introduced and trained” and “12 special policies for integrated circuit talents”, and relying on high-energy carriers such as the “core port town” with a new industrial platform of 10,000 mu and 100 billion yuan, it has introduced 27 high-level talent projects in the upstream and downstream. In the past three years, the special fund for talents has exceeded 300 million yuan every year, and a “seed fund” for high-level talents has been set up to continuously optimize the innovation and entrepreneurship ecology of talents. At present, the total amount of human resources in the region has reached 22..There are 370,000 people, and the number of national and provincial talents ranks in the forefront of the city.
In the next step, Beilun District will focus on the positioning of “double first-class and double demonstration”. After five years, the added value of high-tech industries in the whole region will account for more than 75% of the industrial added value. The cultivation of high-tech enterprises and the R&D investment of regulated industrial enterprises will rank first in the province, and it will become the pioneering area of innovation-driven high-quality development in the city and even the whole province.
