It is of great guiding significance to promote the innovative and high-quality development of Zhejiang and to build a strong province with talents and innovation.
He Almond stressed that today’s world is undergoing a great change that has not been seen in a century. China’s economic and social development and people’s livelihood improvement need more scientific and technological solutions than ever before, and the first impetus of innovation is more needed. The science and technology system of the province should shoulder the heavy responsibility of scientific and technological innovation, and continue to advance to the breadth and depth of science and technology in accordance with the new requirements of “four aspects”.
First, learn to understand the new spirit and strengthen the sense of responsibility and mission of accelerating scientific and technological innovation. We should have a thorough understanding, study and understanding of how to adhere to the “four orientations”, strengthen the first driving force of scientific and technological innovation, how to solve the six key problems, improve the ecosystem of scientific and technological innovation, how to carry forward the spirit of scientists, and how to accelerate the construction of a socialist modern country. The provincial science and technology system should stand at the height of strengthening “four consciousness”, strengthening “four self-confidence”, and achieving “two maintenance”, integrate thoughts and actions into the spirit of the important speech of the General Secretary and the decision and deployment of the Party Central Committee, unswervingly follow the path guided by the “Eighth Five-Year Plan”, and display scientific and technological responsibilities for the “important window”.
Second, we should set new requirements for benchmarking and strive to deliver innovative high score statements. First, we should combine top-level design with grassroots innovation, and increase active planning and layout in terms of key core technology tackling, major scientific research infrastructure, major innovation platforms and other aspects in accordance with the requirements of high standards, unconventional and iconic; Second, we should combine goal-oriented, problem-oriented and demand-oriented, base on the high-quality development needs of our province, implement the phased objectives, and implement a number of practical and effective new measures; Third, we should combine general work with key work, summarize and plan a number of work drivers, work carriers and work brands with Zhejiang’s scientific and technological characteristics, and accelerate the construction of a new development pattern.
Third, we should show new responsibilities for reform and stimulate the strong momentum of high-level innovative provinces. We should make full use of the key move of reform, put the reform concept into action and work, and effectively transform the scientific and technological management functions. We should innovate five kinds of thinking in an all-round way, break the inertia of thinking, break the rules and regulations, and take greater steps and courage in attracting and cultivating top talents. We should create a good environment for innovation subjects and innovative talents, provide basic conditions, and provide more high-quality and accurate services, so that the majority of scientific researchers and various innovation subjects can release more innovation potential, produce more original results, and make greater contributions to the construction of high-level innovative provinces.
