According to the new changes in China's development stage, development environment and development conditions, it is even more necessary to shape new development advantages with scientific and technological innovation in order to realize the first century goal and start a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and marching towards the second century goal.

Adhere to the core position of innovation in the overall situation of China's modernization, take self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology as the strategic support for national development, face the world's scientific and technological frontier, face the country's major needs, face people's lives and health, and thoroughly implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education and strengthening the country through talents.

Innovation drives the development strategy, improves the national innovation system, and accelerates the construction of a strong country in science and technology. It is necessary to strengthen the national strategic scientific and technological strength, enhance the technological innovation ability of enterprises, stimulate the innovation vitality of talents, and improve the system and mechanism of scientific and technological innovation.

Innovation-driven development has made great achievements.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a major deployment to implement the innovation-driven development strategy, the central government has successively launched a series of major measures to promote scientific and technological innovation and innovative economic development, which greatly promoted the overall level of China's scientific and technological development. At present, some scientific and technological fields in China are changing from "running with" to "running with" and "leading", and the original innovation achievements of science and technology are constantly emerging. The development of science and technology is in the stage from quantitative accumulation to qualitative leap, from point breakthrough to system capacity improvement.

In 20 13, the number of R&D personnel in China surpassed that in the United States for the first time, and then ranked first in the world for many years. At the same time, China is also the second largest R&D investor in the world. In 20 19, R&D investment reached 22 1 trillion yuan, and the investment intensity increased to 2.23%. Both the number of SCI papers and the number of highly cited papers rank second in the world.

In 20 19, the number of patent applications in China was 4.3810,000, of which 2.592 million were authorized; The number of applications for invention patents was 6.5438+0.4007 million, and the authorized number was 453,000. The number of invention patent applications ranked first in the world for nine consecutive years. According to the data of the World Intellectual Property Organization, in 20 19, the number of international patent applications in China under the framework of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) was 58,990, surpassing the United States for the first time and ranking first in the world.

China's aerospace, marine development, biological sciences and other scientific and technological fields have achieved fruitful results, and at the same time, major breakthroughs have been made in the original innovation fields such as quantum science and 5G communication. According to the Report on Global Innovation Index released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, China's innovation index has been rising year after year, and now it ranks 14 in the world. It has obvious innovation strength in many fields and has become an important contributor to global scientific and technological innovation.

China ranks 14 in the 20 19 World Competitiveness Yearbook published by Lausanne College. In the 20 19 Global Competitiveness Report released by the World Economic Forum, China ranked 28th. These have made great progress than in the past. China has made representative achievements in major scientific and technological fields, and scientific and technological innovation has gradually become a new kinetic energy to support China's economic and social development.
