strive to make breakthroughs and be the first. beijing zhiyuan artificial intelligence research institute and beijing baidu netcom technology co., ltd. officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement to actively promote the construction of software and hardware ecosystem under diverse computing power; the first "chuangrong haidian" technology enterprise financing docking event was held at zhongguancun no.1 , using financial "living water" to moisten the "fertile soil" of entities... in recent years, beijing's haidian district has continued to lead industrial transformation and upgrading with technological innovation. the high-precision industrial structure has continued to be consolidated, and new business formats and new models have continued to emerge. and this is just a glimpse of china in a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. from a wider perspective, in the 75 years since the founding of the people's republic of china, it has gone from "marching towards science and technology" to "science and technology is the primary productive force" to "innovation is the first driving force." my country has always regarded technological self-reliance and self-reliance as the strategic support for national development. it has gradually achieved a historic transformation from tracking and following to running and leading, and has become a technological power with important influence in the world.

heading towards the “new”, the innovation system is improving day by day.looking back at history, in the early days of the founding of new china, faced with the reality of a weak scientific and technological foundation, the country made decisive arrangements and issued the clarion call to "march toward science." a number of scientific research institutions came into being, laying an initial foundation for scientific and technological undertakings. since the reform and opening up, the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education has been implemented in depth, and investment in science and technology has also been significantly increased. my country has quickly become the world's second largest investor in r&d funds. in 2023, research and experimental development expenditures will reach 3,327.8 billion yuan, 233 times that of 1991, accounting for 2.64% of gdp. this proportion has exceeded the average level of eu countries. the full-time equivalent of r&d personnel has ranked first in the world for 11 consecutive years, reaching 7.24 million person-years in 2023, an increase of 9.7 times compared with 1991. the construction of the innovation system continues to improve and accelerate, forming a good ecosystem of collaborative innovation among technology-based enterprises, scientific research institutes and universities. today, my country leads the world in number of the world's top 100 scientific and technological innovation clusters, and the number of high-tech enterprises reaches 463,000. the innovation system is improving day by day, and innovation vitality is bursting out, providing solid support for the development of science and technology.

seek quality with "newness",scientific and technological achievements shine brightly.the prosperity of science and technology will make the nation prosper, and strong science and technology will make the country strong. from the "two bombs and one satellite" in the early days of the founding of the people's republic of china, to the reform of the science and technology system after the reform and opening up, to the insistence on placing scientific and technological innovation at the core of the overall national development since the 18th national congress of the communist party of china, my country's scientific and technological innovation has accelerated its development, and its innovation achievements bright as stars. "chang'e" captures the moon, "tianhe" stays in the sky, "tianwen" detects fire, "crost no. 1" drills into the earth, "struggle" dives into the sea, high-speed rail technology sets an international benchmark, 5g communications leads the world, and thinner steel, bigger screens, stronger chips... innovation and creation, full of passion, our country's science and technology industry has forged stronger strength and opened up broad prospects. as of the end of 2023, there are 4.015 million valid domestic invention patents, and the global ranking of innovation index has jumped to 12th. china has become an important pole in the world's innovation map. the achievements of scientific and technological innovation are changing china at an unprecedented speed and scale. the appearance of china also affects the future of the world.

gathering "new" momentum, the digital economy is booming.scientific and technological innovation can give birth to new industries, new models, and new driving forces, and is a core element in developing new productive forces. since the new era, our country has firmly grasped the "narrow nose" of scientific and technological innovation and continued to implement the innovation-driven development strategy. innovation power and development vitality are surging, and new quality productive forces are accelerating the formation. in 2023, the economic added value of my country's "three new" (new industries, new business formats, and new business models) is equivalent to 17.73% of gdp, an increase of 2.4 percentage points from 2016; from 2013 to 2023, the equipment manufacturing industry above designated size, high-tech enterprises the average annual added value of the technology manufacturing industry has increased by 8.7% and 10.3% respectively; as of the end of 2023, 421 national-level smart manufacturing demonstration factories and more than 10,000 provincial-level digital workshops and smart factories have been cultivated; the scale of the digital economy has ranked first in the world for many consecutive years. second, e-commerce transaction volume and mobile payment transaction scale rank first in the world... the "key variable" of technological innovation is being transformed into the "maximum increment" of high-quality development, becoming a strong driving force and support for economic and social development.

to focus on innovation is to focus on development, and to pursue innovation is to seek for the future. innovation is the inexhaustible driving force for the development of china's science and technology industry and the core engine for promoting high-quality economic and social development. on the journey of the new era, china will continue to adhere to the innovation-driven development strategy, continuously improve its scientific and technological innovation capabilities, and contribute to building a scientific and technological power and realizing the chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation.
