"The subsidy for international pioneering products is limited to 2 million yuan and the subsidy for domestic pioneering products is limited to 1 million yuan...". Several Measures of Zhongguancun Administrative Committee on Strengthening High-value Patent Operation and Promoting Achievement Transformation focuses on solving the problem of "difficulty in entering the market for the first time" of the pioneering products, promoting the market application of pioneering products, and getting through the "last kilometer" of pioneering products entering the market from 7 aspects. "Chuangxinrong" enterprise financing comprehensive credit service platform and policy is an enterprise financing comprehensive credit service platform that takes the lead to use "financial management big data + financial technology + government policy supporting" in China. To promote continuous optimization of financing environment and innovation of credit financing services for small and micro businesses... Zhongguancun will further play its role as a "test field" for reform, strengthen the policy guidance, and form a more targeted policy system for scientific and technological innovation.

Create the global innovation bellwether

What are the latest trends in global innovation? What is the role of Beijing innovation in the world? As one of the leading forces of innovation, what is the driving force of Zhongguancun in the global science park? Five series of science and innovation indexes and research reports released at 2020 ZGC Forum are impressive, which reflect the global trends in technology and gain insight into China's innovative development.

Global Science and Technology Innovation Center Index 2020 was issued to the world at 2020 ZGC by Springer Nature and Tsinghua University. Forum. 30 cities were selected from the world to establish a three-level index system to systematically reflect the comprehensive innovation capability and level of major cities in the world's scientific and technological innovation centers (metropolitan areas). The new list of the top 10 cities (metropolitan areas) was released, with Beijing ranking the fifth.

David Swinbanks, founder of Springer Nature, released the latest data and research results of Nature Index -Scientific Research Cities 2020 at the ZGC Forum. By tracking independently selected research papers published in 82 high-quality natural science journals, the performance of the world's major cities in the nature index in 2019 was analyzed, Beijing continued to top the list among global scientific research cities.

Zhao Hong, President of Zhongguancun Innovation Development Research Institute released Zhongguancun Global Science park Innovation Development Index 2020.

Zhongguancun Global Science Park Innovation Development Index 2020 was prepared and released for the first time, which reflects that the best entrepreneurial ecosystem in the world is mainly located in Silicon Valley, New York, London, Beijing, Tel Aviv, Stockholm and other cities, and the science park has become the best symbol of innovation and entrepreneurship in these cities. 36% of globally active venture capital organizations and incubators are headquartered in the park.

Build a platform for interconnected innovation

Build momentum to stimulate new growth drivers and create new growth poles. Six innovation platforms and agglomeration areas will be released successively at the press conference of 2020 ZGC Forum, covering high-grade precision and advanced fields including artificial intelligence, high-level automatic driving, aerospace industry, life science, etc. An international cooperation platform of global exemplary significance for China-Germany cooperation and China-Japan cooperation will be created.

Beijing plans to build a high-level demonstration zone for automatic driving, with Beijing Economic and Technological Development Area (60 square kilometers) as the core. By 2022, it will complete the construction of five systems of "smart road, smart car, real-time cloud, reliable network and accurate map", break through the key links of technology and management of internet-connected and cloud-controlled automatic driving, form the city-level engineering test platform, and realize the commercial landing of a series of application scenarios and the promotion and application of a batch of intermediate products.

Beijing Sino-Germany International Cooperation Industrial Park Project is located in Shunyi District, which will construct the development space of the "starting area and expanding area" with a total area of 20 square kilometers. The industrial park is positioned as "the gathering place of Germany's advanced manufacturing industry, the forefront of China and Germany's innovation-driven development, and an important window for the international exchange between China and Germany and expanding the opening-up".
