National Major Science and Technology Projects Will Become Emerging Industry Engines

Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Science and Technology convened an inter-ministerial joint meeting to conduct an overall assessment of the promotion of major national science and technology projects. The meeting set a tone, and the country’s 16 major scientific and technological special organizations have achieved remarkable results. They have achieved a number of significant landmark results, spurred the development of related strategic emerging industries, and promoted the optimization of industrial structure.

The reporter learned from relevant departments that after several investigations and discussions by various departments of the State Council, it has been determined that the country’s major science and technology projects will lead the strategic emerging industries, and the four major technology roadmaps will be mapped to the seven strategic emerging industries. Make major science and technology projects become the core technology and industry engine for the development of China's strategic emerging industries in the future.

After two years of research, 16 major national science and technology projects covering the five key areas of electronics and information, biology and medicine, energy and environmental protection, advanced manufacturing, and national defense technology and equipment have been fully implemented and achieved initial results. The central government has allocated 600 budgets. 100 million support.

The person in charge of the Ministry of Science and Technology told the reporter, “In order to understand the progress of the 16 major scientific and technological special projects and their connection with emerging industries, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance have organized 81 experts in accordance with electronic and information and energy sources. Four monitoring and evaluation teams have been set up in the four divisions of environmental protection, biology and medicine, and advanced manufacturing, and have conducted exploration and research throughout the country.”

According to the briefing, the deployment of the tasks of the major national science and technology projects of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” emphasizes “heavy, big, and special”, highlights strategic priorities vertically, defines phase objectives and task priorities, and formulates the four major technology roadmaps and technology development plans. The technology and industry directions of the four major sectors are directly linked to the seven strategic emerging industries.

The electronics and information sector will focus on the core devices, CPU chips and operating system software, key manufacturing equipment and complete sets of processes for VLSI circuits, and key technologies and standards for next-generation broadband wireless mobile communications; the energy and environmental protection segment includes oil and gas development, Three major scientific and technological projects for large-scale nuclear power plants and water pollution control; the Bio and Pharmaceuticals Division focuses on seizing the commanding heights of international competition in biotechnology and bio-strategic emerging industries, and strengthening the three special tasks of breeding new varieties of genetically modified organisms, creating new drugs, and preventing infectious diseases. System Deployment and Collaborative Tackling; Advanced Manufacturing Segment includes two major special projects of large aircrafts and CNC machine tools, focusing on key advanced manufacturing core technologies.

In addition, in order to seize new heights for the development of science and technology and the formulation of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, China will also select major tasks that are expected to achieve breakthroughs in clean energy, deep-sea exploration, and deep-land exploration, and adjust and enrich major scientific and technological projects. .

The reporter learned from the national major science and technology special office that after the preliminary research, there are many special projects that have achieved phased results. Taking the special project of “Very large-scale integrated circuit manufacturing equipment and complete sets of processes” as an example, the 35 kinds of integrated circuit equipment and materials developed by the project have gradually entered the stage of assessment and verification of large-scale production lines. At present, all units have applied for a total of 4,248 patents, and the total sales of R&D results have exceeded 10 billion yuan, driving the related industries to grow by nearly 100 billion yuan.

The relevant experts of the Chinese Academy of Sciences told reporters that “on the one hand, the industrial orientation of the country’s major science and technology projects has covered the basic content of strategic emerging industries. On the other hand, its technological focus is also the direction in which strategic emerging industries need to be tackled. Therefore, major science and technology projects Already traction in the development of strategic emerging industries."

At the same time, the reporter learned from the Ministry of Finance that the relevant departments will further improve fiscal, taxation, and financial policies to support the development of major national science and technology projects, and truly exert their role in promoting strategic and emerging industries in technology and industrial engines.
