On the morning of August 8, the Provincial Department of Science and Technology held an enlarged meeting of the party group to deeply study and implement the spirit of the provincial science and technology innovation conference at the first time. The meeting emphasized that it is necessary to study conscientiously, deeply comprehend, unify thinking, act quickly, exert precise efforts, and pay close attention to implementation, ensure that the spirit of the conference is implemented in the province’s science and technology system in the first time, and make new contributions to taking the lead in building an innovative province and a strong province in science and technology. Zhou Guohui, secretary of the leading party group and director of the department, presided over the meeting, and members of the leading body of the department and the principal responsible persons of various departments and offices of the department attended the meeting.
The meeting believes that the provincial science and technology innovation conference is an important meeting held in the initial period of the “13th Five-Year Plan” of our province, the first to build an innovative province and a benchmark province for a well-off society in all respects. It fully reflects the great importance attached by the provincial party committee and the provincial government to scientific and technological innovation and the unprecedented determination, intensity, efficiency and style. Secretary Xia Baolong’s important report and Acting Governor Che Jun’s presided over speech, from a commanding height, profound connotation, strategic, ideological, pertinent and operational, further sounded a new clarion call for innovation-driven development, clarified the strategic objectives, key tasks and main measures of the province’s scientific and technological innovation work in the coming period, and strengthened the confidence of the province to make up for the shortcomings of scientific and technological innovation, jointly build an innovative province and a strong province in science and technology, and is the program and guide guiding the province’s scientific and technological innovation work.
The meeting emphasized that the province’s science and technology system should unify its thinking with the decision-making and deployment of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, earnestly understand the situation and tasks, further enhance the sense of responsibility, mission and urgency, firmly establish the awareness of “the key lies in action”, seize the day, act quickly, highlight key points, make precise efforts, go all out, pay close attention to implementation, work hard and skillfully, and strive to take the lead in building an innovative province and a province with strong science and technology. Focus on “five rapids”.
First, it is necessary to quickly study propaganda, learn deeply and thoroughly, and integrate knowledge with action. It is necessary to closely combine the study and implementation of the spirit of the important speeches of Secretary Xia Baolong and Acting Governor Che Jun with the in-depth study and implementation of the series of important speeches of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the National Science and Technology Innovation Conference, and the spirit of the Third and Ninth Plenary Sessions of the 13th Provincial Party Committee, so as to deeply understand the substantive connotation, accurately grasp the key points of work, and better guide the practice of innovation. It is necessary to carefully study the series of plans and policies that have been promulgated and released, strengthen interpretation, publicity and promotion work, so that they can truly be implemented and effective, and improve the pertinence and effectiveness of scientific and technological work.
Second, it is necessary to quickly perform duties, clarify tasks, and strengthen responsibilities. It is necessary to focus on long-term goals, that is, the goal of “eight times and two improvements” in 2017, a series of indicators by 2020 specified in the “13th Five-Year Plan”, taking the lead in building an innovative province and a science and technology powerhouse, and building an “Internet +” world science and technology innovation highland. Keep an eye on near-term targets, the full-year targets set at the beginning of the year, as well as some new indicators in the recently launched “double growth” and “one turn, four innovations” action plans for technology companies. It is necessary to carefully compare and fight on the wall chart to ensure completion.
Third, it is necessary to rapidly refine and deepen, highlight key points, and grasp the key. Closely focus on the major platforms, major projects, major actions, major policies, etc. deployed by the provincial party committee and the provincial government, go all out, compact responsibilities, and promote solidly. For example, in terms of policies, we must pay attention to the implementation of the “15 articles to make up for shortcomings” and “12 articles of the big corridor”, and pay close attention to researching, formulating and deepening the refinement of the “five new policies”, that is, the new policy for talents, the new policy for research and development, the new policy for rewarding, the new policy for protection, and the new policy for transformation.
Fourth, we must act quickly, take the initiative to design, and strive for practical results. In accordance with the requirements emphasized by Secretary Xia Baolong at the conference, “service should be precise and powerful, not just shouting slogans”, we must not only complete the quantitative indicators of the assessment goals, but also pay attention to the quality behind the numbers. For example, the cultivation of science and technology enterprises should not only become bigger but also stronger, and focus on improving the innovation ability of enterprises. For example, the high-tech zone does not lie in the number of establishments, the key depends on the development level and industrial quality of the high-tech zone, and whether it has played a leading role in radiation. For example, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements must not only have an increase in transaction volume, but also have the benefits after transformation and the improvement of real productivity. For example, our “five helps” not only visit more places and enterprises, but also help solve the problems encountered in development.
Fifth, we must quickly form momentum, strengthen service, and have the courage to take responsibility. It is necessary to create a vigorous momentum for grasping scientific and technological innovation, shape a grand pattern of grasping scientific and technological innovation, further raise the bar, strengthen coordination, vigorously grasp implementation with the idea of reform, effectively emancipate the mind, change concepts, innovate methods, accelerate the transformation of inertial thinking and outdated practices, especially overcome and prevent “not doing things for officials”, and strive to improve the ability and level of adapting to and leading the new normal. It is necessary to closely integrate the implementation of all aspects of scientific and technological innovation with the “two studies and one doing” and test the results of the study and education of “two studies and one doing” with the actual results of the implementation of the work. It is necessary to firmly establish the awareness that the science and technology sector is the core department, economic department, reform department, and service department, give full play to the role of the main force of innovation and development, take the drive to seize food from the mouth of the tiger and the tiger to fight for food, sacrifice others and overcome difficulties, and strive to make new contributions to building an innovative province and a benchmark province for a moderately prosperous society in all respects.
