Wuhan Industrial Innovation And Development Research Institute Was Established To Get Through The "Last Mile" Of Scientific And Technological Achievements Transformation

Under the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, it has become a world problem to promote the close integration of science and technology and economy, and to break through the "last mile" of scientific and technological achievements transfer and transformation. Take China as an example, in 2020, the number of invention patent applications in China is 1.497 million, and 530000 invention patents are authorized, but the average conversion rate is only 10%.

In recent years, with the promulgation of relevant policies such as the "guidance on promoting the development of new R & D institutions" issued by the Ministry of science and technology, various regions ushered in the upsurge of new R & D institutions construction. On June 9, Wuhan industrial innovation and Development Research Institute (hereinafter referred to as "wuchuang Institute") was established in Wuhan with the approval of the Municipal People's government, which adopts enterprise management and market-oriented operation.

Wuhan is one of the three major intelligence intensive areas in China, with rich scientific and technological innovation resources. It has 101 scientific research institutes, 73 academicians, 29 state key laboratories and 40 national enterprise technology centers. But the B side of Wuhan Science and technology innovation is that the local conversion rate of scientific and educational achievements is only about 20%.

Shao Xinyu, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering and Secretary of the Party committee of Huazhong University of science and technology, pointed out in an interview with the 21st century economic report that there is a "two skin" phenomenon between university R & D and enterprise production demand, because they have different ways of thinking, and need to add a medium which is in the middle of the two, can carry out the research and production docking, and has strong adhesion.

Zhou Ji, an academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering and former president of the Chinese Academy of engineering, believes that wuchuang Institute is not "opening a company for professors", but to implement high-tech and cutting-edge technologies. While maintaining its independence in scientific research, wuchuang should try its best to meet the needs of enterprise customers.

Market operation and enterprise management

According to the definition of "guiding opinions on promoting the development of new R & D institutions", new R & D institutions are independent legal entities focusing on the demand of scientific and technological innovation, mainly engaged in scientific research, technological innovation and R & D services, diversified investors, modernized management system, market-oriented operation mechanism and flexible man-machine system, It can be registered as science and technology private non enterprise units (Social Service Institutions), institutions and enterprises according to law.

The earliest new R & D institution in China is the Research Institute of Tsinghua University in Shenzhen, which is jointly established by the Shenzhen Municipal People's government and Tsinghua University. It has incubated more than 2500 enterprises and trained more than 20 listed companies. Sun dianyi, President of Shandong Industrial Technology Research Institute, believes that the "new" of the new research institute is reflected in the absence of administrative level, and innovation management should be professionalized. Sun dianyi once served as director of the Bureau of cooperation between academies and localities of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and served as the president of Shandong Institute of industry and research after resigning from office.

Sun dianyi said that the "new" of the new research institute is also reflected in the absence of a competent department. The research institute independently designs the governance system and operation management mechanism according to the innovative practice activities. "Many systems have to be iterated twice in a month, as long as they are conducive to innovation, transformation and commercial success.". In addition, Shandong Institute of industrial technology operates in accordance with the market-oriented operation and enterprise management. In this system, commercial success is the only standard to test technological innovation. As long as technology can be turned into products and then into value, it can obtain the support of the whole business system.

Wuchuang Institute continues the mode of domestic mainstream new R & D institutions. Wang Yonghui, member of the Standing Committee of the Wuhan municipal Party committee, head of the organization department and director of the preparatory work office of Wuhan Innovation Institute, said that wuchuang Institute is a legal person of public institutions that does not include in the scope of organizational establishment approval, does not have clear institutional specifications and does not approve the establishment. It adopts the structure of "Council + Wuhan Innovation Institute + investment company + n innovation themes", and implements the president responsibility system under the leadership of the Council“ We are committed to breaking down the institutional barriers that restrict scientific and technological innovation and creating the most attractive ecology of innovation and wealth creation. "

Financial institutions credit 200 billion yuan

There is a formula of 1:10:100 in the field of scientific research, that is, the ratio of investment funds between the stage of scientific research and development, the stage of transformation and application, and the stage of industrial production“ The risk of transformation of scientific and technological achievements is very high“ Sun dianyi said that the financing risk, product risk and market risk in the process of transformation will delay the process of achievement transformation.

Shao Xinyu put forward the model of "green apple red apple apple tree". The scientific research results of university laboratory are "green apple". After industrialization, green apple can be transformed into "red apple" with high performance, high reliability and high cost performance, and finally form the "apple fruit tree" of industrial cluster. Innovation begins with science and technology and becomes financial. This process needs the support of policy, environment and capital. Through innovative system and open system, new R & D institutions can solve some problems in achievement transformation.

In terms of fund-raising, Liu Meng, President of Hubei Changjiang International Chamber of Commerce, President of Hubei Peking University Alumni Association and chairman of Changjiang International Holding Group, believes that the new R & D institutions are directly oriented to the market, and scientific research projects and achievements are easily favored and concerned by venture capital, venture capital, financial institutions and industrial funds. Wuhan innovation and development fund can be launched by Wuhan innovation and Development Institute to promote the development of scientific research projects through the investment promotion mode of the fund.

Wang Yonghui said that wuchuang institute implements the "investment package system" to establish a multi-channel and multi-level investment and financing system by combining enterprises, core teams, social capital and financial venture capital institutions. At today's inaugural meeting, Wuhan Innovation Institute signed contracts with a number of financial institutions and investment institutions, including Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Indus capital and Changjiang Securities, with a comprehensive credit line of 200 billion yuan. Relevant person in charge of Wuhan Branch of Bank of communications introduced that it will provide financial support for the project of Wuhan Innovation Institute, and set up special approval standards and separate approval process.

Enjoy the right to dispose of the profits from the transformation of scientific and technological achievements

In the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, researchers are the main supplier of scientific and technological achievements. How to break the shackles of scientific research personnel and improve the incentive mechanism is another difficult problem that needs to be overcome in the transformation system of scientific and technological achievements for many years.

At the founding meeting, Wuhan Innovation Institute signed contracts with 10 Talent Gathering projects, including the "high precision intelligent remote sensing satellite" team of Gong Jianya, academician of School of Astronautics and technology of Wuhan University, Wu Jiansen expert team of "5g + core chip of Internet of things" of haishouzheng communication, Luo Cheng team of founder of Shenzhen Langjian Industrial Design Co., Ltd The team of experts on returning to China in Silicon Valley, etc.

"Master technology through talents, and get stuck on the industrial track through technology." Zhu Yi, Secretary General of the Innovation Center for global Nobel laureates and Secretary General of the Academy of life sciences, Nobel laureate, suggested that Wuhan Innovation Institute should introduce outstanding scientists, leading talents and young talents in related fields in different levels by combining Wuhan's advantageous industries. Young talents, in particular, represent the direction of future scientific and technological development.

Wang Yonghui introduced that wuchuang Institute will determine income distribution according to innovation ability and innovation performance, encourage and guide scientific and technological personnel to pay attention to research and development as well as achievement transformation. Wuchuang Institute enjoys the autonomy to dispose the income from the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and gives the President more decision-making power in talent introduction, project investment and institute operation.

Han Jingyang, vice president of the Alumni Association of Tsinghua University and former deputy secretary of the Party committee of Tsinghua University, said that in the past five years, 254 graduates of Tsinghua University have gone to Wuhan for employment, with more than 90% of them with doctorates and masters.

Tsinghua University has held six "innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship" competitions for alumni scientific research projects and enterprises. There are more than ten competition areas in the world, covering smart medical, integrated circuit and other tracks“ The "three innovation" competition in the Central Plains competition area may cooperate with Wuhan Innovation Institute to promote the docking of alumni science and technology innovation projects with enterprises and local governments.
