There are over 200 thousands of S&T-oriented private SMEs.

16 Transform research institutes that focus on applied research into business-oriented S&T organizations (380 Ministry-affiliated institutes, 800+ local institutes) Facilitate universities and national labs to commercialize their technology inventions through appropriate ways including spinning-off, and to foster their entrepreneurship Encourage the establishment of a variety of close cooperation between firms and universities/institutes

17 Establish and develop High-tech Industrial Zones( science parks) and incubators: Torch Program promotes the commercialization of high-techs. 53 National Science Parks host about 40 thousands of high-tech firms. 100 Provincial Science Parks 400 High-tech Incubators National Key R&DD Programs support the innovation of key platform technologies for industrial-use, and key technologies for large-scale infrastructure projects. Government Innovation Fund, favorable Loans, Venture Capital, Venture Stock Board Incentive policies: Tax incentive, IPR incentive

18 B. Promote people s living standard and health Improve the nutrition levels of 1.3 billion people: Progresses in agriculture S&T have enabled China to meet the food needs of 22% world s population with only 7% of world s cultivable land. Improve people s health: Life expectancies of Chinese exceed 73 years and have reached the levels of medium-developed countries. A number of severe epidemic diseases and chronic diseases are under-control. Develop new vaccines and medicines, medical equipments. Facilitate the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine.

19 Technology diffusion to increase farmers income and to eliminate poverty Mission of the Spark Program (1985--): Spread technology to rural areas to richen peasants, develop industrial cluster based on deep processing of agricultural products and transfer rural labor force from agriculture to township enterprises. Hundred and thousands of adoptable technologies have been transferred to rural areas and township enterprises. Millions of technicians and scientists provided training and demonstration in rural areas on new technologies. The adoption of new technologies has helped over 100 millions peasants move and stay out of poverty.

20 Develop and diffuse information technologies to modernize people s life Innovate and provide low-cost access to ICTs to accelerate their nationwide application Expand the telecommunication networks to most of the territory Mobile phone and fixed telephone users: 0.7 Billion Internet users: over 100 millions Narrow Digital Gap project : extend networks to rural and remote areas, long-distance medical diagnosis and long distance learning Advance science and technology to the general public, and provide technological training National Public Understanding S&T Week in May Most of the townships have technology training centers

21 C. Support sustainable development Energy, water, and resource conservation Research, development, demonstration and deployment of clean energy technologies Environment protection and pollution control Protection and recovery of eco-system

22 D. Safeguard national security Develop nationwide information networks and technology platforms for emergency management (e.g., natural disaster, pandemic disease, severe accident, terrorism) Innovate and upgrade defense technologies Transfer military technology into civilian application

23 E. Enhance innovative capability High-tech R&D Program (863 Program) National Key Basic Research Program (973) National Natural Science Foundation National Labs R&D infrastructures Big-Science projects

24 F. Encourage scientists innovative passion Enhance the reform in personnel management by offering R&D organizations and scientists with more autonomy and flexibility.. Increase R&D investment, and increase the share of grant fund for exploring research Increase scientists income IPR incentive policy National reward Peer review

25 G. Expand international S&T cooperation Established S&T cooperation with 150 countries and regions Signed government agreements on S&T cooperation with 95 countries Participate in international R&D programs, such as ITER, Global climate change etc Bilateral and multilateral joint research efforts Establish platform for enterprises, universities cooperating with their partners

26 H. Legislation & regulation on S&T and IPR Rule of Law Pursue S&T progress based on law S&T Progress Law, S&T Achievement Transfer Law, Public Understanding of S&T Law Patent Law, Trademark Law, Copyright Law Regulations on S&T and IPR Law and regulation enforcement system and mechanism

27 3. National Long- and Medium-Term Plan for Science and Technology Development ( )

28 Highlights of New National S&T Plan Core of this new S&T plan is to enhance the indigenous innovation-capability. Rely on innovation as the principal driving force for development in the coming decades Facilitate the coherent and balanced development of near- and long-term science and technology Integrate science-and-technology policy with economic policy Associate S&T innovation with institutional innovation Pursue both indigenous innovation and international cooperation, and their integration

29 Principal Goals of Innovation Strategy Lay strong emphasis on enhancing the indigenous innovation-capability, and the capability to create and possess increasing number of intellectual property rights (IPR) in core and advanced technologies Improve competitiveness Increase productivities and efficiency Improve people s living standard Improve environment quality

30 Capacity Building for Innovation Capacity building for innovation has three foci: Capabilities in absorbing and improving imported technology Capabilities in integrating existing technology, emerging technology and new invention to produce new IPRs Capability in producing original invention through basic research
