The development strategy of the Chengdu-Chongqing area dual-city economic circle proposes to build the Chengdu-Chongqing area into a scientific and technological innovation center with national influence. Chongqing has long faced the embarrassment of insufficient well-known scientific research institutes, shortage of high-end scientific research talents, and low transformation of scientific and technological achievements. How to inject new momentum for innovation-driven high-quality development?
Chongqing Liangjiang New Area is the first national-level development and opening up new area in the west. The "Outline of the Construction Plan for the Two-City Economic Circle in Chengdu-Chongqing Region" requires that "the flagship role of the Liangjiang New Area be brought into play." In recent years, Chongqing Liangjiang New District has regarded innovation as the “No. 1 Project”, aiming at the shortcomings of scarce innovation elements. On the one hand, it builds a good innovation ecology and builds a collaborative innovation park to attract scientific research institutions and talents; on the other hand, it focuses on industry Layout the innovation chain, open up the blockages in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and use science and technology to empower regional industrial upgrades.
In more than two years, 35 colleges and universities at home and abroad, more than 1,000 R&D talents have settled down, and the 8 major industrial innovation consortiums such as intelligent networked vehicles are full of vitality... Liangjiang New District is rapidly moving towards the highland of technological innovation and becoming the Chengdu-Chongqing technological innovation center The important support of construction provides samples and enlightenment for the leap-forward development of regional scientific and technological innovation.
Gather the elements of innovation: Let scientific research institutions and talents "fly southwest"
At the Chongqing Innovation Center of Beijing Institute of Technology, Dr. Qingwang Qin, the technical leader of the hyperspectral computational imaging research team, is busy launching the product. "Hyperspectral computational imaging equipment can efficiently and accurately identify related substances through image and spectrum analysis, and has broad application prospects in geological prospecting, environmental monitoring, industrial inspection and other fields. Our team has been established less than two years ago and has incubated a technology company , The products are mainly used for water quality remote sensing monitoring, mining geological prospecting, etc." Qin Qingwang said.
The Chongqing Innovation Center of Beijing Institute of Technology is located in the collaborative innovation zone under the Mingyue Mountain in Liangjiang New District, Chongqing. The park is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has a pleasant ecology. Speaking of his entrepreneurial experience, Qin Qingwang told reporters: "I have resigned from the company to start a business for two years, but failed to succeed due to a lack of a team and a platform. This gave me a good environment for starting a business."
More than two years ago, the Chongqing Liangjiang Collaborative Innovation Zone was nothing more than a shallow hilly area. Nowadays, many scientific research buildings with advanced facilities have been put into use or are under construction. A total of 35 domestic and foreign colleges and universities have established scientific research institutions here, attracting 1,000 Yu Ming is a high-end scientific research talent like Qin Qingwang.
Scientific research institutes are an important mainstay of original technological innovation. The construction of Chengdu-Chongqing area into a scientific and technological innovation center with national influence is inseparable from various scientific research institutes. The number of well-known universities and scientific research institutions in Chongqing is small. To this end, Liangjiang New Area will strive to build an innovation park under the ecologically beautiful Mingyue Mountain at the end of 2018, and “build a nest to attract the phoenix” to attract universities and courtyards. , The big institute settles down, in order to form the high-end innovation factor agglomeration effect.
Attracting scientific research institutes is only the first step, and making them truly effective is the key. Li Jie, deputy director of the Administrative Committee of Liangjiang New District, introduced that in terms of cooperation mechanism, Liangjiang New District and colleges and universities jointly established scientific research institutions and registered independent legal entities.

The cornerstone of long-term development.
These scientific research institutions have brought to Chongqing cutting-edge technologies in many fields such as aerospace, new energy, high-end equipment, and new materials. In April this year, the Chongqing Science and Technology Innovation Center of Northwestern Polytechnical University was officially completed and inaugurated. In just two months, five open scientific research laboratories were basically built, ranging from high-performance metal structural material precision casting to residual stress detection, to aerospace fuel tank skeleton and Aviation receivers are almost all "neck" technologies and key components in the aerospace field.
Li Jie said that by the end of this year, the Liangjiang Collaborative Innovation Zone will strive to introduce 40 R&D institutions, build a batch of post-doctoral scientific research workstations, and gather 1,500 high-end innovative talents. Relying on these scientific research institutions, Liangjiang New Area actively promotes the construction of platforms such as the State Key Laboratory of Low-Earth Satellites and the National Key Laboratory of Advanced Energy Storage to enhance the source of technology and completely change the scarcity of innovative elements in the past.
Focus on the transformation of achievements: Let technology help industrial upgrading
Scientific and technological innovation lacks funds and equipment, scientific research projects are out of touch with market demand, and there is no service platform for the transformation of results... The "two skins" between scientific research and industry restrict the development of the driving force of scientific and technological innovation.
Laying high-sensitivity optical fiber equipment on the track can monitor the safety status of rail transit in real time and greatly reduce the cost of manual inspections. At the Chongqing Research Institute of Changchun University of Science and Technology, this scientific research result is about to be industrialized. Ding Hongchang, the deputy dean of the institute, said that in the past, developers and entrepreneurs did not understand each other. The Liangjiang Collaborative Innovation Zone “filled in” the gap from research to production. The research and development of the technology is carried out. By the end of June this year, 2-3 companies will be incubated, and the output value in the next two years is expected to reach more than 70 million yuan."
Wang Fei, Chairman of Chongqing Liangjiang Collaborative Innovation Zone Construction Investment Development Company, introduced that in order to accurately connect technology supply and industrial demand, and solve the difficulties in the process of achievement transformation, the Liangjiang Collaborative Innovation Zone on the one hand digs deep into the potential of key teams and projects, and shares Scientific research equipment, construction of incubation carriers, import government funds, social capital and venture capital funds, and cultivate high-growth technology companies; on the one hand, regular meetings and salons between scientific research institutions and companies are held to promote local companies such as Changan Automobile and BOE More than 100 scientific research projects have been contracted with settled scientific research institutions, and more than 30 scientific and technological achievements have been transformed.
