Five-chain convergence Stimulate the fusion effect of innovation
"Our research team broke through the key technical bottleneck of alfalfa and created a new alfalfa variety with low residue resistance and glyphosate tolerance for the first time, which injected new vitality into the development of grass industry in China." In the technological innovation of national grass industry? Yuan Feng, deputy general manager (in preparation), said that the center has formed a strong innovation fusion effect by integrating resources from all sides and bringing together top scientific research teams from 47 domestic grass fields to participate in the construction. This effect not only promotes the rapid progress of technology, but also promotes the upgrading and development of related industries.
Technological innovation, platform first. In recent years, the governments of the autonomous region and Hohhot have increased the layout of major innovation platforms and provided "real money and silver" to support leading enterprises to establish national dairy technology innovation centers and national grass technology innovation centers. At present, the National Dairy Technology Innovation Center has implemented national key R&D projects for the first time and achieved 98 technical achievements. The National Grass Technology Innovation Center has developed 6 new varieties and 6 breakthrough technological achievements.
Innovation platform is a "strong magnetic field" that gathers innovation elements. In 2023, Hohhot took "Mengkeju" as the cornerstone of innovation system construction, actively built the general window of the platform, formulated a series of policies to support innovation, and continued to guide enterprises to increase R&D investment, establish R&D institutions, enhance their innovation ability and create a good innovation ecology. Through the linkage of government, industry, learning, research, finance, service and use, etc., we have successfully brought together various elements, and actively cultivated the technology transfer system serving the whole region, realizing the normal docking, which has provided strong support for the cultivation and service of the technology transfer system in the whole region.
Up to now, a total of 3,992 institutes, enterprises and 1,070 technical brokers in the whole region have settled in the "One Network" of Kechuang, which has led to an increase of 45.3% in technology contract registration and 17.6% in technology transaction volume.
Hohhot has always adhered to high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and innovative layout. In 2023, the city added 24 autonomous region-level technology transfer carriers, with a total of 44; 974 technical brokers were trained, with the total number exceeding 1000; There are 32 leading enterprises in science and technology, 533 high-tech enterprises, 649 small and medium-sized enterprises in science and technology, 17 expert workstations for academicians and 319 enterprise R&D centers. Among the 476 investment projects in the city, 82% are high-tech projects, forming a "three-in-one" model of "introducing an enterprise, establishing an R&D center at the same time and cultivating an innovative team" to promote scientists and entrepreneurs to join hands.
"With the in-depth implementation of the’ five-chain convergence’, Hohhot has given full play to the convergence effect of various innovative elements and formed a strong innovation synergy." Li Kongyan, Party Secretary and Director of the Science and Technology Bureau of Hohhot, said that last year, Hohhot seized the opportunity of building the "Mengkeju" innovation-driven platform, made every effort to build the general window, constantly improved the innovation system, and promoted the convergence and integration of innovation chain, industrial chain, talent chain, capital chain and information chain to create a regional innovation growth pole.
Four mechanisms Improve the ability of science and technology service
With the wide application of digital technology, agricultural production is undergoing profound changes. Since its establishment in 2019, Inner Mongolia Jianyun Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jianyun Technology") has become a leader in digital technological innovation in potato field with its profound technical foundation and accurate insight into potato industry.
"At present, we have obtained more than 600 million pieces of potato data. Using AI-related data application technology and self-developed potato life cycle decision-making model, we can save water by over 30%, save fertilizer by over 20% and increase yield by 31.5%, providing scientific and technological support for the sustainable development of potato industry." Li Wei, deputy general manager of Jianyun Technology, said that Jianyun Technology has made great progress in Beijing Jingmeng Hi-Tech (Mengkeju Beijing Branch) for two years. Last year, we landed in the Science and Technology Center of Hohhot through the "Mengkeju" platform, and focused on cultivating it as a backup listed company.
Incubator is an indispensable "accelerator" connecting technology, capital and market. In order to solve the problems of slow incubation and difficult landing of enterprises and projects, Hohhot has built a "three-dimensional linkage" incubation mechanism. Relying on the R&D area of the Science and Technology City in the north, the incubation area of the Science and Technology Innovation Center in the middle and the industrialization demonstration area in Helinger in the south, the whole incubation system from Zhongchuang space to industrial park has been established. At the same time, three listed companies, including Jianyun Technology, were introduced from Beijing, forming a linkage incubation model between Beijing and Hohhot.
Incubation carrier, as the meeting point of innovation elements, is playing the role of bridge and link. At present, the total number of incubation carriers in Hohhot has reached 70, and the number of incubating enterprises and project teams has exceeded 1,000.
Innovation cooperation between universities and local governments is to achieve mutual benefit and win-win between universities and local economies, and to promote the sustained and healthy development of regional economy. In 2023, the government of Hohhot cooperated with universities and enterprises to set up a political-school-enterprise innovation alliance, making full use of the advantages of innovative resources such as high-quality universities and enterprises in the city, establishing a transformation mechanism of "judging by performance" and promoting the transformation of 25 new technological achievements. It is estimated that the annual economic benefits will increase by 100 million yuan. Through activities such as "Mongolian Science and Technology Gathering" collaborative roadshow, the scientific and technological achievements of colleges and universities can be directly applied to enterprise production, realizing the deep integration of science and technology and industry.
Science and technology improve the speed, and innovation highlights the height. In 2023, Hohhot upgraded its science and technology services in an all-round way. By establishing a "public welfare+market" service mechanism, implementing a "performance instead of evaluation" transformation model, creating a "three-dimensional linkage" incubation system and promoting the deep integration of "science and technology+finance", it effectively solved the problems of imperfect science and technology service system, difficulty in transforming achievements of universities, difficulty in incubating projects and difficulty in financing technology-based enterprises, and injected new momentum into urban science and technology innovation and industrial upgrading.
The strength of opening up, the intensity of reform and the momentum of development have not diminished. Scientific and technological innovation has helped Hohhot to run out of "acceleration", achieve "display" and enhance "activity".
