Build a functional platform for R&D and transformation to create a "coral reef" innovation ecosystem.

In today's rapid development of science and technology and accelerated industrial change, a new industrial development model is needed to guide the process of technology industrialization. Nowadays, many emerging industries and high technology are in a blue sea, without support, it is difficult to gather relevant innovation resources, and the construction of a functional platform for research and development and transformation is like laying a coral reef, through the creation of an ecological system of scientific and technological innovation, so that science and technology can grow rapidly according to the laws of the market and demand.

The report points out that functional platforms for R&D and transfer are the hubs linking basic research, citation research and result transfer, and that a number of integrated functional platforms with open resources have emerged in the course of the years, such as the National Technology Transfer Eastern Center and the Shanghai Institute of Industrial Technology.Among them, the National Technology Transfer Eastern Center is an important node for international technology transfer, providing the core functions of technology transaction, technology transfer services and technology finance as "one and two wings", playing a role of technology convergence and radiation. At the same time, it has made physical layouts in North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania, building a global carrier and channel for the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and creating a functional gathering area with the role of an international technology transfer node.

Dislocation of development and competition for innovation, to create a cluster of science and technology innovation with different characteristics

Shanghai is focusing on the science, technology and innovation goals of the 13th Five-Year Plan, based on regional positioning and functional shaping, combined with actual dislocation of development, focusing on the improvement of the regional science, technology and innovation system, and enhancing the effectiveness of service economic transformation. The report points out that Yangpu District has been promoting the development of universities, science and technology parks and public communities, and promoting the construction of the National Dual Innovation Demonstration Base and the 10,000 Innovation Demonstration Zone. Pudong Lingang gathers innovation resources, arranges for the construction of smart manufacturing technology transfer service platform, and promotes the construction of smart manufacturing technology transfer center.

Building a platform for regional coordination and cooperation and raising the level of international scientific and technological cooperation and exchange

To promote the collaborative development of "One Belt, One Road" and "Yangtze River Delta Economic Belt" through scientific and technological innovation, to deepen scientific and technological collaboration and innovation in the Yangtze River Delta region, to focus on national foreign policy on science and technology, and to carry out a series of forward-looking and influential science and technology projects with an eye on the current scientific and technological competition and economic development trends. We will build a functional service platform for regional cooperation and collaboration to promote the connectivity between Shanghai and the world at the level of science and technology innovation.In 2016, led by the National Technology Transfer Eastern Center, 11 national regional centers for technology transfer jointly established the China Technology Transfer Alliance, a major leap forward in regional collaboration, open innovation, resource sharing and the formation of a linkage mechanism.

The report points out that in deepening scientific and technological cooperation along the "Belt and Road".The Shanghai Technology Exchange has established long-term technology cooperation channels with Vietnam and Thailand, and strategic partnerships with the ASEAN Technology Transfer Center and the Asian Intellectual Property Trading Platform, and has achieved fruitful results.

Deepening institutional reform and creating a good atmosphere for innovation and entrepreneurship

Shanghai has accelerated and deepened the reform of its institutional mechanism in accordance with the "Article 22" plan, and has built an all-chain service system covering the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises. Shanghai has focused on cultivating a fertile ground for innovation and entrepreneurship, including building an innovation and entrepreneurship platform, launching cross-cultural and cross-border innovation and entrepreneurship competitions, nurturing the science and technology market and building regional brands.In 2016, the emergence of national innovation and entrepreneurship platforms represented by the Shanghai Innovation Center (London) and the London branch of the Shanghai Technology Exchange to strengthen cross-border cooperation and capital alignment; the first Shanghai International Makers Competition 2016 built a stage to tap into the creative ideas of the public and bring out grassroots innovation; technology intermediary services issued to focus on technology transfer and fruit transformation and to cultivate the intermediary services market Innovation Vouchers to provide high quality, high value professional services to businesses.
