The State Council Meeting Deployed to Accelerate the Implementation of National Major Science and Technology Projects

On the 13th, Premier Wen Jiabao presided over the executive meeting of the State Council to study and deploy further the role of science and technology support, speed up the implementation of major national science and technology projects, and discussed and adopted in principle "Several Policies to Accelerate the Development of the Biological Industry."

The conference pointed out that playing an important supporting role for science and technology in expanding domestic demand, promoting growth, adjusting structure, improving the level, and benefiting the people is an important part of the plan to respond to the international financial crisis and promote stable and rapid economic development. At present, the key tasks for the advancement of science and technology major projects and the acceleration of their implementation have been determined. For projects that have a good foundation and can make full use of the achievements of independent innovation for many years; for a better market prospect, industrialization can be achieved within two or three years, and current industry development The project will play an important role in expanding domestic demand; research and development of major key technologies and product development that will have a major impact on the future economic and social development will focus on the allocation of funds. The central budget will be allocated 32.8 billion yuan this year, and about 30 billion yuan will be allocated in 2010. At the same time, it will drive business investment, mainly promoting high-end CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment, large-scale aircraft, a new generation of broadband wireless mobile communication networks, core electronic devices, and high-end general-purpose chips. And basic software products, manufacturing equipment and complete sets of processes for large-scale integrated circuits, development of large-scale oil and gas fields and coal bed methane, large-scale advanced pressurized water reactors and high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plants, water pollution control and treatment, cultivation of new varieties of genetically modified organisms, and creation of major new drugs The implementation of 11 major scientific and technological special projects such as prevention and control of major infectious diseases such as AIDS and viral hepatitis. At the same time, all work on supporting economic development and service enterprises will be carried out in an all-round way, and a number of demonstration projects for large-scale application of independent innovation products will be launched. The implementation of technological innovation projects will be accelerated and new economic growth points will be fostered.

The meeting stressed that to speed up the implementation of major science and technology projects, it is necessary to implement a responsibility system, establish a strong organizational management system and supervision and evaluation system, give full play to the role of the market mechanism, scientific organization, focus on strength, and systematically promote. Second, we must intensify reforms, take enterprises as the main body, promote close integration of production, education and research, and integrate, open and share scientific and technological resources, and strengthen the introduction and cultivation of scientific and technological talents, especially high-level talents.

The conference believes that we must seize the opportunities of the world's bio-tech revolution and industrial revolution to cultivate the bio-industry industry into a pillar industry in China's high-tech fields. Focusing on biomedicine, bio-agriculture, bio-energy, bio-manufacturing, and bio-environmental protection industries, we will vigorously develop modern bio-industries. First, it is necessary to develop and expand bio-enterprises. Efforts should be made to cultivate leading enterprises with strong innovation capabilities and international competitiveness, encourage and promote the development of small and medium-sized bio-enterprises, and build a national bio-industry base. Second, we must vigorously promote independent innovation. We will give full play to the main role of enterprises in technological innovation, strengthen the construction of innovation facilities such as universities and public welfare research institutes, and promote the creation and industrialization of independent innovation achievements. Third, we must strengthen the cultivation of compound talents, optimize the structure of talents, and create high-quality personnel. Fourth, we must increase support for fiscal and taxation policies and establish fiscal funds to preferentially purchase independent innovations in biological products. Fifth, we must actively expand the financing channels. Encourage the establishment and development of biotechnology venture capital institutions and industrial investment funds to guide social capital to the bio-industry. Sixth, we must create a good market environment. Actively cultivate market demand for biological products, improve market access policies for biological products, strengthen protection of intellectual property rights, and standardize market competition order. Seventh, we must strengthen the protection of biological genetic resources and biological safety supervision. The meeting demanded that relevant departments of the State Council should establish a sound working mechanism and quickly develop supporting measures. All localities must formulate specific work plans in light of actual conditions and effectively implement all policies and measures.
