On May 31, the 2020 China Science and Technology Service Industry Conference was held in Xinchang County with the theme of “Cloud Gathering Talents, Creating the Future”. The conference focused on the county innovation “Xinchang Experience” and “Internet plus+Science and Technology Service Industry” and other topics. As a key event of the fourth “Xinchang Technology Day”, the Xinchang County Mass Entrepreneurship Shared Science and Technology Innovation Cloud Platform was launched simultaneously on that day.
Looking back to May 31, 2016, at the National Science and Technology Innovation Conference, Xinchang, as the only county representative, made a typical exchange speech, attracting attention from multiple parties. Starting from 2017, Xinchang County officially announced the establishment of May 31st as “Xinchang Science and Technology Day”, becoming the earliest and only county in the country to establish a science and technology day so far. Four consecutive sessions of “5”.On the 31st Technology Day, dozens of researchers, industry experts, and senior experts gathered at the foot of Tianlao Mountain to exchange ideas on topics such as county-level innovation and deep integration of industry, academia, and research.
Why do small mountainous counties attract a lot of attention? Xinchang, with its geographical characteristics of “eight mountains, one water, and one field”, does not have any universities, railways, or air transportation. Its scientific and technological talent base is weak, its location conditions are not optimal, and its resource endowment is average.
Li Ning, Secretary of the Xinchang County Party Committee, stated that Xinchang has always adhered to innovation, adhered to the principles of resource shortage, technology shortage, location shortage, service shortage, and power shortage reform. In 10 years, it has achieved a leap from a key environmental protection supervision area in the province to a national ecological county, and in 11 years, it has achieved a leap from a second poor county in the province to one of the top 100 counties in the country. The path of innovation driven development has truly been reflected and practiced in Xinchang.
After the “Comprehensive Promotion of Science and Technology Innovation Xinchang Model” was included in the 2019 Zhejiang Provincial Government Work Report, this year, the Xinchang experience of “enterprise mainstay, precise service, and reform leadership” is becoming the “innovation answer sheet” learned by the whole province.
“The technology service industry is an important support for optimizing the allocation of innovation resources and improving the efficiency of innovation and entrepreneurship. We have always attached great importance to the development of the technology service industry, adhered to market orientation, reform and opening up, cultivated a large number of technology service entities, and built a large number of innovation and entrepreneurship platforms such as science and technology service centers, technology incubators, and small and micro enterprise parks.” Li Ning introduced that there are 20 large-scale experiments in the county, 82 laboratories are open to the whole society for sharing. Every year, we serve nearly a thousand small and medium-sized enterprises, effectively activating the vitality of innovation and entrepreneurship in the whole society..2.8 billion yuan, the technology service industry has become an important engine for industrial upgrading and high-quality development of manufacturing in Xinchang.
At the meeting, experts including Mao Guanglie, Director of the Zhejiang Intelligent Manufacturing Expert Committee, Fang Hanting, Vice President of Science and Technology Daily, and Yang Xianwu, former First level Inspector of the Achievement Transformation and Regional Innovation Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology, gave keynote speeches on the highlights and industrial prospects of innovative technology services in Xinchang County.
It is worth noting that in recent years, Xinchang has actively implemented the No.1 Digital Economy Project, promoting the “enterprise digital manufacturing, industry platform services” model throughout the province. However, at the same time, the local community realizes that the development of the digital economy cannot be separated from the development of the platform economy, which urgently requires the support of platform technology.
On that day, the People’s Government of Xinchang County signed a cooperation agreement with iFLYTEK Industrial Intelligence Xinchang Innovation Center to jointly build it; Signed a cooperation agreement with Beijing Kuangshi Technology Co., Ltd. to jointly build the Xinchang Kuangshi Artificial Intelligence Innovation Center; Signed a framework agreement for the Xinchang County Industrial Supply Chain Integration Service Project with Zhejiang Zhongda Group Co., Ltd.
This event is jointly organized by the China Technology Market Association, the Communist Party of China Xinchang County Committee, and the Xinchang County People’s Government.
