The mayor of Beijing sent an invitation to the world, saying that it would provide more convenient scientific research and living conditions.

Cctv newsAt present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is booming. How can Beijing promote the construction of a national science and technology innovation center and accelerate the establishment of a science and technology innovation center with global influence?
On September 19th, the State Council Press Office held a series of press conferences of provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). Chen Jining, deputy secretary of the CPC Beijing Municipal Committee and mayor of Beijing Municipal People’s Government, invited scientists and entrepreneurs from all over the world when answering questions from CCTV reporters. He said: at present, mankind is facing many global problems and challenges. These problems require the joint efforts of scientists from all countries and increase exchanges and cooperation between them. Beijing sincerely welcomes scientists and entrepreneurs from all over the world to come to Beijing for development, and Beijing will provide more convenient scientific research and living conditions.

The biggest advantage of Beijing is the advantages of talents and science and technology. In terms of innovative resources, Beijing is rich in talents and scientific and technological resources. There are more than 90 universities, more than 1,000 scientific research institutes, 120 national key laboratories, 68 national engineering technology research centers, about 860,000 college students and 25,000 national high-tech enterprises in Beijing. In terms of quality, Beijing’s innovation resources are better. Half of the top talents’ best disciplines and best laboratories are in Beijing, and Beijing’s R&D investment intensity is 6.17%, ranking first in the country. About half of the first prize of national scientific and technological achievements and the top ten scientific and technological progress in China come from Beijing every year.In terms of innovation vitality, Beijing is also a well-deserved city with the most active innovation and entrepreneurship in the world.There are about 200 innovative enterprises in Beijing every day, and the amount of venture capital and the number of cases account for about 30% of the whole country.If we look at VC/PE investment in technological innovation, Beijing is second only to Silicon Valley as a global city.In the latest list of unicorns, 82 enterprises in Beijing were selected, accounting for nearly half of the country. In some advantageous innovation fields, Beijing’s characteristics are even more obvious. For example, in the field of artificial intelligence, 60% of the country’s artificial intelligence talents gather in Beijing. Among the top 100 global artificial intelligence enterprises, there are 6 in China, including 5 in Beijing.

In the face of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, Beijing, as a national scientific and technological innovation center, bears a major historical mission and national responsibility. Therefore, scientific and technological innovation is the most important work here, and three aspects of work are mainly grasped.The first is the construction of innovation system. The second is to innovate ecological construction. The third is the construction of innovative culture.
In terms of innovation systemBeijing has made a series of institutional breakthroughs in scientific research management, performance evaluation, rights and interests of scientific and technological achievements, long-term capital support, etc. All these are to solve some deep-seated problems in scientific and technological innovation, with the aim of stimulating the enthusiasm and creativity of all kinds of innovative subjects. Beijing has issued 28 regulations on scientific research projects and funds management, giving researchers more tolerance and trust, so that scientific research funds should be spent well as well. Beijing has established a number of new R&D institutions, such as Beijing Institute of Quantum Information Science, Brain Science and Brain-like Science Research Center. Through the construction of these new R&D institutions, the organization and management of scientific research can be solved, and a long-term stable support and an open and flexible employment mechanism can be formed. Beijing has also specially established a mother fund for scientific and technological innovation with a scale of 30 billion yuan to stimulate and attract social investment, which can be enlarged to 100-150 billion yuan. The most important feature of this fund is that its capital investment period can be 10-15 years, which is the longest investment innovation fund. Through the establishment of this parent fund, it is necessary to solve the problem of insufficient patient capital and long-term capital, and encourage innovative subjects to carry out long-term sustainable innovation in hard technology and deep technology.
Recently, Beijing is speeding up the study and promoting the revision of the Regulations on Promoting the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements, which is a local legislation. It is hoped that the ownership of scientific and technological achievements, the distribution of transformation income, and the exemption from due diligence will be clearly defined in the form of law, and the core is to solve the property rights problem of scientific and technological achievements. The property right of scientific and technological achievements has been transformed from the ownership of state units in the past to the individual ownership of scientific and technological personnel, and the state can participate in the distribution, but the property right can be personal. Some scientists say that if this regulation is promulgated, it will realize their long-awaited "Children born by themselves can cultivate themselves into adults.”。

In terms of innovation ecologyBeijing mainly solves two problems. One is to strengthen the spatial ecological layout, that is, to promote the high-intensity agglomeration of various innovative elements in a limited space, so that chemical changes occur among these innovative subjects. The key point is to do a good job in the construction of "three cities and one district". The three cities are Zhongguancun Science City, Huairou Science City and Future Science City, and the first district is Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone.
Zhongguancun Science City systematically lays out the basic frontier and key core technologies, improves the ability to open and gather global innovation resources, strengthens the city’s innovative image, and builds the original innovation source and the main position of independent innovation with global influence.
Huairou Science City focuses on the long-term scientific layout, and builds large-scale scientific devices such as comprehensive extreme condition experiments, numerical simulation of the earth system, and high-energy synchrotron radiation light sources to build a comprehensive national science center.
In the future science city east area, the current work focus is to revitalize the stock resources of central enterprises, introduce diversified innovation subjects, and create an "energy valley"; The Western District promotes the integration of science and education in Shahe University Town, especially taking Zhongguancun Life Park as the explosion point of the development of the medical and health industry in the city, and deepening the reform of the operation and management system of the park through the open introduction of professional teams.
Not long ago, Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone completed its expansion, mainly to undertake the technological achievements of transforming the "three major science cities", build an open and innovative industrial cluster and a high-tech industrial main position, and at the same time link up with Tianjin and Hebei’s innovative industrial chains.
The second is to strengthen the ecological construction of the industrial chain, mainly relying on core enterprises, underlying technologies and public innovation platforms. By strengthening the construction of supporting conditions, the innovative elements of the industrial chain will be gathered to promote mutual support and collaborative innovation among industries. In 2017, Beijing issued guidance on the development of 10 high-tech industries, including the new generation of information technology, and also formulated corresponding supporting policies such as finance, land and talents. For example, the land policy, the full implementation of life-cycle management of industrial land, the implementation of flexible annual land transfer, first rent and then let, industrial land can only be used in industry, innovative land can only be used for innovation, support the construction of standard factory buildings for lease to enterprises, which not only greatly reduces the cost of enterprise land, but also prevents land hoarding and speculation. For example, in terms of talent policy, Beijing has greatly broadened the scope of talents around innovation chain, not only paying attention to scientists, but also bringing entrepreneurial investors, engineers, intellectual property lawyers and product managers into the innovative talent system to support them.Since 2018, more than 3,500 talents have gone through the introduction and settlement procedures.At the same time, Beijing is also highly concerned about solving it.The height of talentsProblems, focusing on the introduction and training of a number of.Strategic scientific and technological talents, leading talents in science and technology and leading talents in the industry.. Recently, more than 3,000 apartments for talents and experts have been specially set up in Beijing to support them.

In terms of innovative cultureVigorously strengthen the creation, protection and application of intellectual property rights, set up intellectual property courts, punish violations of intellectual property rights according to law, and significantly increase the illegal cost of intellectual property rights infringement. Recently, Beijing has specially established an intellectual property insurance system for small and medium-sized enterprises to improve the ability and level of intellectual property protection. In addition, Beijing has also increased its efforts to "send charcoal in the snow" for small and micro science and technology enterprises, and set up a financing guarantee fund of 10 billion yuan to improve the financial services for science and technology-based and innovative enterprises through angel investment, investment-loan linkage and intellectual property pledge loans.
Recently, Beijing has formulated and implemented a plan to accelerate the construction of application scenarios, and released the first batch of ten major application scenario construction projects with a total investment of more than 3 billion yuan, relying on urban governance, government services, and key projects of major events such as the Winter Olympics, the World Expo and Daxing International Airport. At the same time, a number of new application scenarios are collected for Zhongguancun innovation subjects every year. Beijing also pays special attention to strengthening innovation education, raising citizens’ awareness of innovation, making respecting knowledge and innovation become the consensus of the whole society, and creating an innovation culture that encourages innovation and tolerates failure.
In a word, by constantly improving the innovation system, optimizing the innovation ecology and advocating the innovation culture, Beijing has the confidence, conditions and ability to build itself into a scientific and technological innovation center with global influence.
