On April 18, Guangming Daily published a front-page report "Hubei: Running the acceleration of development of new quality productivity", which introduced Hubei's innovative practice of building a "use" oriented science and technology innovation supply chain platform with Wuhan East Lake High-tech Zone as a pilot, effectively promoting the accurate docking of supply and demand and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements。The following is reproduced in full:

Wuhan, one of the six major scientific and technological innovation centers in China, has 83 universities, 155 national innovation platforms, and 34 national (state) key laboratories, which produce a large number of scientific research results every year。

How to make good use of these achievements, accelerate their transformation, and help the development of new quality productivity？

Wuhan's answer is: to "use" as the orientation, to solve the long-term structural contradictions between the innovation chain and the industrial chain。

From "laboratory" to "application field", it has always been a pain point in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements。How to solve this problem？In Wuhan, the "three networks and one package" service system came into being。

"With a try attitude, we issued an order on the 'Sky Net' platform, hoping to use 1 million yuan to develop industrial-grade infrared optical gas sensors.。Unexpectedly, the next day, Professor Liu Huan's team in Optics Valley Laboratory accepted the order, and has now developed a sample。Talking about this experience, Zhang Junlong, general manager of Wuhan Dare Technology Co., LTD., said "I didn't expect".。

This "Sky net" platform is the online information platform of Hubei Kechuang supply chain, known as "Kechuang Taobao" in the industry.。Enterprises urgently need innovative services, technology, talent, finance, application scenarios......Can "place an order" on the platform, the system will carry out intelligent "matching", universities, scientific research institutions and other response "order", to provide solutions。

In addition to the "sky net", Wuhan has also established a "ground net" to tap the needs of scientific research institutions and enterprises, a "gold net" to provide scientific and technological financial services, and a "policy package" to support the transformation and commercialization of scientific and technological achievements in stages.。

After enterprises and scientific research institutions hand in hand, before the product is officially put into production, it also faces a pilot test。In the industry, pilot trials are known as "Darwin's Dead Sea" - the blank area from theoretical research to product market, which universities and manufacturers are reluctant to enter。

How to solve this problem？Wuhan's approach is to guide and encourage new research and development institutions, universities, research institutes and enterprises to independently or jointly build pilot test verification platforms。

In "China Car Valley", the Future Technology Innovation Research Institute jointly built by Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Wuhan Economic Development District is a pilot platform cluster。

"In the school, it is difficult for our teachers to have 200 square meters of pilot space.。But here, we have two or three thousand square meters for the production line!"Walking into a workshop, Li Jianghua, president of the Research Institute, proudly told reporters, "Since last year, Huazhong University of Science and Technology has selected the first 25 scientific and technological achievements transformation projects, 10 pilot production lines to achieve trial production, incubating 9 technology-based enterprises.。”

At present, Wuhan has registered 156 pilot platforms。In September 2023, led by the Wuhan Economic Development Zone Future Technology Innovation Institute, the Wuhan Results transformation pilot Platform Alliance was unveiled。

Scientific and technological innovation should not only focus on the "fruit", but also on the "seed" and "root".。Wuhan realized that to develop new quality productivity, we must lay out high-level original innovation in advance, and solve key technical problems from the source and the bottom。

To this end, Hubei Province and Wuhan will develop strategic scientific and technological forces as the tip of the pyramid of scientific and technological innovation system construction, accelerate the creation of original innovation sources, and lay a solid foundation for cultivating new quality productivity。

In Optics Valley Science Island, deep geotechnical disturbance simulation of national major science and technology infrastructure, national crop phenomics research major science and technology infrastructure...A large number of scientific research equipment is accelerating construction。
