Why should innovation lead the transformation and upgrading of the real economy?

Improve the ability of scientific and technological innovation. We will improve the long-term stable support mechanism for basic research and original research, build major national scientific and technological infrastructure and technological innovation centers, and create an open platform for scientific and technological resources. Promote comprehensive innovation and reform experiments. Effectively implement the autonomy of universities and research institutes, implement incentive policies such as stock options and dividends, and implement the reform of research funding and project management system so that researchers are no longer distracted by trivial matters. We will carry out pilot reform of comprehensive management of intellectual property rights and improve the system of creation, protection and application of intellectual property rights. Deepening the reform of talent development system, implementing more effective talent introduction policies, recruiting talents from all over the world and fully stimulating the enthusiasm of scientific researchers will surely achieve great innovation.

Accelerate the cultivation and expansion of emerging industries. We will fully implement the development plan of strategic emerging industries, accelerate the research and development and transformation of new materials, artificial intelligence, integrated circuits, biopharmaceuticals, fifth-generation mobile communications and other technologies, and make industrial clusters bigger and stronger. Support and guide the sharing of economic development, improve the utilization efficiency of social resources, and facilitate people's lives. Based on the principle of encouraging innovation, inclusiveness and prudence, the regulatory rules for emerging industries are formulated. Deepen the reform of statistical management system and improve the statistics of emerging industries. In the Internet era, the development of all fields needs faster and lower-cost information networks. This year, we should take greater steps in speeding up and reducing fees. During the year, all domestic long-distance and roaming charges for mobile phones were cancelled, the access fees for private Internet lines for small and medium-sized enterprises were greatly reduced, and the international long-distance telephone charges were reduced, which promoted the in-depth development of "internet plus" and accelerated the growth of digital economy, benefiting enterprises and the general public.

Vigorously transform and upgrade traditional industries. In-depth implementation of "Made in China 2025", accelerate the application of big data, cloud computing and Internet of Things, and promote the transformation of production, management and marketing models of traditional industries with new technologies, new formats and new models. Taking the development of intelligent manufacturing as the main direction, we will promote the construction of national intelligent manufacturing demonstration zones and manufacturing innovation centers, carry out in-depth industrial base and major equipment projects, vigorously develop advanced manufacturing industries, and push China manufacturing to the middle and high end. Improve the policy system of building a manufacturing power, support technological transformation in various ways, and promote the traditional industries to glow with new vitality.

Continue to promote mass entrepreneurship and innovation. "Double innovation" is an effective way to promote employment through entrepreneurial innovation, an important force to promote the transformation of old and new kinetic energy and the upgrading of economic structure, and a realistic channel to promote fair opportunity and vertical social mobility, which should be continuously deepened. We will build a number of "double innovation" demonstration bases, encourage large enterprises, research institutes and universities to set up specialized creative spaces, strengthen support for innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, and create a "double innovation" full-service system for the public, so that all kinds of subjects can give full play to their strengths and interact with each other online and offline, so that small enterprises can be overwhelming and large enterprises can persevere, so that market vitality and social creativity can compete to generate.

Comprehensively improve the quality level. Extensively carry out quality improvement actions, strengthen total quality management, and improve the quality competition mechanism of survival of the fittest. The soul of quality lies in ingenuity. We should vigorously carry forward the craftsman spirit, cultivate the craftsman culture, do our best in professional ethics, advocate Excellence, cultivate many "China craftsmen", create more world-renowned "China brands", and push China's economic development into the quality era.
