In the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it was proposed to promote coordinated regional development and thoroughly implement the strategy of coordinated regional development, major regional strategies, the strategy of main functional areas, and the new urbanization strategy.

The reporter of Science and Technology Daily found that Wuxi is located in the Centroid of the Yangtze River Delta, and in integrating and serving the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, it strengthened the "C" innovation responsibility, gave play to the advantages of industrial science and technology, and revealed a number of emerging industries such as the Internet of Things and biomedicine. During an interview with reporters, Zhao Jianping, Director of the Wuxi Science and Technology Bureau, provided a set of latest data: "In 2022, Wuxi's contribution rate to scientific and technological progress exceeded 68%, ranking first in the province for ten consecutive years. The proportion of strategic emerging industries and high-tech industries in the production value of industrial output above designated size has increased to 41.3% and 50.4%, respectively

Gathering Resources to Promote Innovation and Interconnection

With an area of only 24 square kilometers, the Taihu Lake Bay Science and Technology Innovation City is the "No. 1 Project" of Wuxi High tech Zone during the "14th Five Year Plan" period, and is rated as the region with the highest concentration of innovation in Wuxi. There are over 5000 technology enterprises here, including 491 high-tech enterprises within the validity period; The total number of enterprises such as Yingying and Gazelle is nearly 600; More than 90% of the district's mass innovation space and technology Business incubator, more than 90% of new research and development institutions and major innovation platforms, etc; Gathering about 40000 talents of various types.

"After experiencing the development stage of Township and Village Enterprises and export-oriented economy, 'growth to innovation' has become the priority of Wuxi High tech Zone." Zhao Jianping said in an interview that science and technology innovation is the root of the development of the High tech Zone. the Taihu Lake Bay Science and Technology Innovation City allocates its limited resources to more efficient and potential projects and enterprises, and bravely acts as a spearhead in overcoming the "choke" technology.

Langxin Technology Group Co., Ltd., located in the the Taihu Lake Bay Science and Technology Innovation City, has deeply participated in the construction of the core system of international trade facilitation declaration and customs clearance, relying on its years of digital technology experience. We assist the General Administration of Customs (National Port Management Office) in building a 'China International Trade Single Window', providing 'one-stop' window services to enterprises in 42 customs districts through 34 provincial (district, city) level portal entrances, connecting with more than 20 ministries and national trade organizations. Currently, the average daily declaration volume exceeds 9 million. "The relevant person in charge of the company introduced that they have enabled the development of the free trade zone through technological innovation in the high-tech zone, Realize the "dual self" linkage between the self created zone in southern Jiangsu and the Jiangsu Pilot Free Trade Zone.

In Wuxi, the collaborative development pattern of "innovation on one network, industry on one game" has initially emerged.

Advance layout of innovative industrial clusters

In Jiangyin, the first county in China's manufacturing industry, the reporter visited several leading enterprises in the industry, including CITIC Taifu Special Steel Group, which focuses on producing high-end special steel products, and Tianjiang Pharmaceutical, which pioneered traditional Chinese medicine formula granules. They felt the strong manufacturing atmosphere here.

However, in the view of Xia Tianhua, Director of the Science and Technology Bureau of Jiangyin High tech Zone, "Although Jiangyin's manufacturing industry is developed, the city's energy level is still not comparable to that of first tier cities and central cities, and its attractiveness for talents is not strong. Based on this, we explore the 'science and innovation enclave' model and more actively integrate into the national strategy of Yangtze River Delta integration

In April of this year, the Innovation Center of Jiangyin High tech Zone (Wuhan) was officially opened. This is the fifth enclave created by Jiangyin High tech Zone, based on the establishment of four major scientific and technological innovation enclaves in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, and Xi'an. Since then, a scientific and technological innovation enclave layout of "East West North South Middle" has been formed, opening up a new path for industrial development of "global research and development, incubation of first tier cities, and industrialization of Jiangyin High tech Zone".

In Jiangyin, over 70% of tax revenue and GDP are contributed by private enterprises. The role played by the government is crucial, not only in providing good services for the development of enterprises, but also in directing the cohesion of enterprises in industrial transformation and upgrading. As a pioneering practice in Jiangsu, the Science and Technology Town Mayor's Group plays a unique role in county-level scientific and technological innovation.

"The key for the members of the delegation of science and technology town leaders to take temporary positions at the local level is to build a platform, connect resources, focus on scientific and technological innovation, talent introduction and training, and deeply serve the transformation and development of local industries." Cao Xinghua, vice mayor of Jiangyin City and head of the delegation of the 15th batch of science and technology town leaders in Jiangyin City, told reporters that in May this year, Jiangyin City held a signing ceremony with the Astronomy Department and the Precision Instrument Department of Tsinghua University for the research and development base of the precision photoelectric system of the Wide Field Survey Telescope.

We only took 4 months to promote the implementation of this project in Jiangyin Xiake Bay Science City. The technology town leader team hopes to assist Jiangyin in building an aerospace technology industry cluster. At the same time, the implementation of the precision optoelectronic research and development center will continue to drive the agglomeration and development of Jiangyin optoelectronic industry, deeply empowering the development of new energy, high-end equipment, intelligent manufacturing and other industries.

Collaborate between schools and regions to create an innovative "strong magnetic field"

As the only "double first-class" construction university directly under the Ministry of Education in Wuxi, Jiangnan University took the lead in establishing the first physical Internet of Things engineering college in China as early as 2010 according to the city's demand for building a "perception China center".

"For colleges and universities, the most direct way to serve the Internet of Things industry is to cultivate outstanding talents." Fan Qigao, vice president of the College of Internet of Things Engineering of Jiangnan University, told reporters that through the "excellent engineer" program, the College directly cooperates with Internet of Things enterprises to jointly cultivate undergraduates; By signing research projects and leveraging the scientific research radiation of universities to drive technological innovation in enterprises. We have calculated that in recent years, there have been over 1000 graduates of IoT related majors in the college every year, of which more than half have stayed in Wuxi

"Deeper integration of government, industry, university and research is a key link in promoting school land cooperation. Jiangnan University has actively promoted the integration of industry, education and research over the years and accumulated rich experience." Xie Weizhong, vice president of the Institute of Industrial Technology of the university, said that the university will expand the transformation mode and dividend of scientific and technological achievements from Wuxi to southern Jiangsu, Jiangsu and even the whole Yangtze River Delta region.

In the past, city school cooperation was mostly based on principled agreements. Now, with the reshaping of the Wuxi Science and Technology Innovation Plan system, greater efforts will be made to support cooperation between universities and local enterprises, attracting more scientific research achievements from universities to be transformed into Wuxi. At the same time, local enterprises can also enhance their innovation capabilities through technology input from universities, "said Zhao Jianping.

At present, Wuxi has established various new research and development institutions with Tsinghua University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and other "double first-class" universities. "Through the cooperation between the city and the university, a number of innovative platforms such as new research and development institutions and State Key Laboratory are gathered in Wuxi, and these high-energy projects will continue to introduce innovative resources for Wuxi in the future," said Zhao Jianping.
