Six trillion GDP new star city science and technology innovation driving force inventory: R & D investment is generally higher than the national level, and the high -tech industry is developing rapidly

21st Century Business Herald reporter Zhou Hui Beijing report

Since the 21st century, the innovation economy with knowledge and technology has swept the world, which has had a great impact on the city's economic and industrial competition pattern. New requirements have been generated for innovative cities itself.

In the past ten years, China has entered the ranks of innovative countries, and the global innovation index ranking released by the World Intellectual Property Organization has risen from 34th in 2012 to 12th in 2021. New changes have taken place in China's position and role in global innovation.

From the perspective of the region of the science and technology industry, the innovation leading role of the Beijing -Tianjin -Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area is obvious. In 2020, the Beijing -Tianjin -Hebei R & D investment (RD) was 344.60 billion yuan, and the intensity of R & D investment (the ratio of RD funds to GDP) was 3.99%, and the Yangtze River Delta R & D investment was 736.47 billion yuan, with a strength of 2.84%. 100 million yuan, intensity 3.7%.

From the perspective of the city level, the four major first -tier cities in the north, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, as well as strong capital cities such as Chengdu, Wuhan, and Xi'an gathered the most high -tech industrial resources in China. Outside these cities, what development potential is there in ordinary prefecture -level cities, especially the trillion GDP cities?

In order to evaluate the development level and potential of ordinary prefecture -level cities, the 21st Century Economic Research proposes the concept of "New Star City". Cities with strong growth potential (with GDP over 300 billion yuan and a permanent population of over 3 million as the main measure), these cities will become a new growth pole for future development in China. By sorting out a prefecture -level city with a total GDP of more than 1 trillion yuan in 2021, including Suzhou, Wuxi, Foshan, Nantong, Quanzhou and Dongguan, including Suzhou, Wuxi, Foshan, Nantong, Quanzhou and Dongguan. In terms of livable environment, analyze the development characteristics, advantages and shortcomings of the science and technology innovation and innovation of Star City.

The 21st Century Economic Research Institute believes that in the process of industrialization and urbanization in recent years in recent years, the rapid development of the industrial economy, rapid population gathering, and the comprehensive urban economic strength have reached a new stage. Among them, a strong economic city represented by Suzhou, in terms of scientific research investment and high -tech industries, are in the first square of domestic cities with strong provincial capitals; traditional manufacturing strong cities represented by Foshan and Dongguan are in In the direction of advanced manufacturing transformation, staged results have been achieved, and the number of high -tech enterprises in cities has grown rapidly.

However, the shortcomings of new stars are generally facing education, medical resources supporting with urban economic strength and population scale. Compared with the provincial capital cities with close economic and population scale, the development of new stars has no pre -development advantage in the early days of education and medical resources. It affects its attractiveness to scientific and technological talents and enterprises, and it is not conducive to the formation of good ecology in the science and technology industry, education and research in science and technology. While the new star city is optimized and improved rapidly in economic strength, industrial structure, and urban infrastructure facilities, the next step needs to speed up shortcomings in public service resources such as education and medical care.

Suzhou R & D investment intensity is the largest

According to the latest data of the Ministry of Science and Technology, China's research and development investment increased from 1.03 trillion yuan in 2012 to 2.79 trillion yuan in 2021, and the intensity of R & D investment increased from 1.91%to 2.44%.

Internationally uses the indicator of the scale and strength of research and test development (R & D) to reflect the scientific and technological strength and core competitiveness of a region. The higher the R & D funding, the greater the potential in promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, industrial transformation and upgrading, and special specialized new enterprise cultivation.

Among the six trillion GDP new stars screened by the 21st Century Economic Research Institute, Quanzhou ’s R & D intensity in 2020 was 1.4%, which was below the national intensity of 2.40%below 2020.

Among the other five cities, Suzhou's R & D investment intensity was the largest. In 2021, Suzhou's R & D investment intensity was 3.78%, followed by Wuxi, and the R & D investment intensity was 3.5%. Dongguan's R & D investment intensity is also large, 3.54%in 2020. The intensity of R & D investment in Foshan and Nantong is also higher than the national average.

From the perspective of the number of national invention patents, Suzhou and Dongguan have obtained more than 10,000 national invention patents in 2021; Wuxi and Quanzhou ranked behind. From the perspective of the average annual growth rate of national invention patents in the past five years, the average annual growth rate of Dongguan and Foshan is 29%and 27%, which is in the stage of high growth.

From the perspective of absolute investment, the total investment in Suzhou R & D in the past five years will reach 340 billion yuan, and it will propose the goal of about 4%of the regional GDP in 2025.

According to the "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" Science and Technology Development Plan ", during the" Fourteenth Five -Year Plan "period, Suzhou anchored the" National Regional Science and Technology Innovation Center "and focused on building a global influential comprehensive industrial innovation center and a source of innovation sources in key areas. And world -class innovative cities.

From the perspective of the total economic volume, the total amount of GDP in Suzhou exceeds 2 trillion yuan, which is the strongest economic strength among the 6 cities. The intensity and absolute amount of scientific research inputs are the first. In 2021, Suzhou's technical contract turnover reached 62.552 billion yuan, a year -on -year increase of 26.82%. As early as 2011, insufficient R & D investment was called the "trouble of growth" in Quanzhou. The latest data shows that the research and development expenditure expenditures of the entire society in Quanzhou increased from 2.453 billion yuan in 2010 to 14.208 billion yuan in 2020. From 0.69%in 2010 to 1.4%in 2020, it has not reached the target of 2020 in the "13th Five -Year Plan" of Quanzhou.

From the absolute amount of R & D investment, there is still a small gap between Quanzhou and five other cities. Among them, Suzhou's 2020 in the whole society R & D investment was 76.159 billion yuan, which was 5 times that of Quanzhou.

At present, the goal of Quanzhou is 2.4%in R & D intensity in 2025. Insufficient R & D funding, the small number of high -tech enterprises, and the small amount of scientific and technological talents have always been the weakness of Quanzhou.

As a strong city of traditional manufacturing, Quanzhou has a low index of R & D funding. On the one hand, there are fewer non -provincial capital scientific research institutes, and the government's R & D funding is relatively small; on the other hand Shoes and clothing, food, etc. are pillar industries.

In this regard, Quanzhou has also introduced many real gold and silver policies. In 2022, Quanzhou started multiple measures from the aspects of establishing a target responsibility system, leadership linked, tutoring training, and departmental linkage to promote investment in enterprise research and development funding. Establish a sound linkage system for leaders of the bureaus, set up a science and technology special assignment service team, and organize 21 policies and statistical business training for corporate research and development, with a total number of participating in the training of 18,000. Strive for 2022 Enterprise R & D funding for investment in the number of segmented subsidies exceeding 1,000, the amount reached 280 million yuan, and the investment in R & D funding for the whole society increased by more than 20%.

The rapid development of high -tech industries

Suzhou not only has a large and high intensity of R & D investment, but also the development of high -tech industries is also accelerating.

In the number of high -tech enterprises in each city in 2021, there were 11,165 Suzhou, and the data approached 12,000 in Guangzhou in first -tier cities. In 2021, Suzhou's high -tech industry achieved an output value of 2168.65 billion yuan, accounting for 52.5%of the total output value of industries above designated size, an increase of 1.6 percentage points over the previous year.

The high -tech enterprises located in the second echelon are Dongguan and Foshan, which are 7387 and 7,100, which are far exceeding Nantong, Wuxi and Quanzhou, with the same economic volume.

Data show that in the development of high -tech industries, Suzhou's industrial quality optimization and improvement accelerate. In 2021, 12 national industrial Internet dual -crossing platforms settled in Suzhou. At the end of the year, the city has 3 national smart manufacturing demonstration factories, 13 provincial smart factories, and 576 demonstration smart workshops. There are three new global "lighthouse factories", with a total of 5, accounting for 1/6 of the country, and the nano -new material cluster is selected as the national advanced manufacturing cluster.

As the two trillion GDP cities in the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area, Dongguan and Foshan have developed rapidly in the high -tech industry in the past two years. A report written with and enterprise uniforms pointed out that the proportion of existing high -tech enterprises in the country is electronic information (28.14%), advanced manufacturing and automation (26.97%), new materials (13.99%), high -tech services (12.66%) ), Biology and New Medicine (7.73%), Resources and Environment (5.44%), New Energy and Energy Sales (4.39%), Aerospace (0.67%).

From the perspective of the industrial structure, these 6 trillion GDP new stars are all promoted by the manufacturing industry in the process of rapid industrialization. The rapid development of the manufacturing industry has led to the rapid growth of the city's economy. In recent years, industrial structure transformation is also the focus Work. The transformation effect of the traditional manufacturing industry in Dongguan and Foshan is obvious, and the electronic information industry and advanced manufacturing industry have developed rapidly, so the scale of high -tech enterprises has grown rapidly.

Taking Dongguan as an example, the number of high companies in the past five years has increased by 2.6 times. Dongguan proposed to vigorously promote the industrial development path of the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and advanced manufacturing, and continuously expand the advanced manufacturing system of "industrial enterprises-regulatory industrial enterprises-high-tech enterprises-specialized new enterprises-listed enterprises-leading enterprises". In terms of the electronic information industry, Dongguan has a number of electronic information manufacturing leading enterprises such as Huawei, OPPO, VIVO, Huabe Electronics, etc., and formed a complete industrial system from basic parts to terminal products, from consumer products to investment products Essence

Quanzhou's private economy was developed. In 2021, the scale of manufacturing exceeded 2 trillion yuan, forming a textile and clothing, shoe, building materials, petrochemicals, machinery and equipment, food and beverage, craft products, electronic information, paper printing 9 over 100 billion yuan In the industrial cluster, the added value of the private economy accounted for 83%of GDP, ranking first in the country's trillion yuan GDP cities. Many brands of textile shoes and clothing companies have a high popularity across the country.

However, from the perspective of the statistical distribution of high -tech industries, the leading industries such as textile shoes and clothing, petrochemical, building materials and home furnishings with larger industries in Quanzhou are not within the scope, so the number of high -tech industries is less than other trillion GDP new stars. a lot of.

In the next five years, Quanzhou proposed to implement the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry to improve, and strive to break through 4,000 high -tech enterprises by 2026, and the investment fund investment in the whole society accounts for more than 2.5%of GDP. It reaches 70%, and the added value of the digital economy accounted for more than 60%of the regional GDP. Public service supporting facilities are generally inferior to strong provincial capitals

The importance of livable environment for cities is also more and more important to attract science and technology talents and industries.

Professor Florida of Carnegie Mellon University mentioned the concept of creative class and creative cities in his best -selling book "The Rise of Creative Class", which pointed out that the geographical status (city) is creative, new things, and new industries to a certain extent Incubator. Creativity has four characteristics in time and space, namely "field activity", intellectual tolerance, racial diversity, and openness.

The 21st Century Economic Research Institute believes that the cultivation of science and technology and innovation soil needs to attract science and technology talents. In addition to the need to open and inclusive environment, it also requires a good living environment, medical and educational resources such as public services. Industry is particularly important. Therefore, we measure the livable environment and public services of the six major cities from the aspects of green coverage and medical resources in the completion area.

From the perspective of the green coverage rate of urban construction areas, in the above -mentioned cities, except for Dongguan, which is temporarily required, the green coverage rate of greening areas in the other five cities is between 43%and 44%, all of which are 42.1%of the national level. All six cities are located in the eastern coastal areas, and the ecological environment and climate are more livable.

In terms of medical resources, from the perspective of the number of beds per 1,000 medical institutions compiled by the 21st Century Economic Research Institute, Nantong was 6.41, the most abundant medical resources; followed by 5.86 in Suzhou. Foshan and Dongguan are relatively weak in traditional Chinese medical resources in six cities, with the number of beds per thousand people's medical institutions of 4.05 and 3.24 respectively.

The general prefecture -level city Suzhou with strong comprehensive strength, the number of beds per thousand people's medical institutions is 5.86, and the data of Wuhan and Chengdu with similar economic volumes are 7.61 and 7.36, respectively. As of March 2020, there were 7 three hospitals in Suzhou, and the number of resident population was Nanjing, which has a lower population size than Suzhou, and 38 Hospitals. Suzhou proposed that during the "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" period, the number of third -level hospitals should strive to increase by 50%and increase to 36, and the three hospitals should strive to add 10 new.

The number of beds per thousand trillion GDP new stars in the city of the new star city has not reached the level of 6.46 beds per thousand people in 2020. In recent years, Dongguan and Foshan have been working hard to strengthen the allocation of medical resources, and the space for supplementary courses has been large.

The 21st Century Economic Research Institute believes that the 6 trillion GDP Star City has gathered rapidly in recent years, and the economic volume has also exceeded the trillion threshold, but in the field of public medical and health services It does not match, but also needs to improve medical support to form a supply capacity that matches economic and social development.

As the provincial administrative center, the provincial capital city has the advantage of the layout of public service resources such as medical and education. Insufficient public service resources supply is a short board for cities to attract science and technology talents. At the same time, the lack of colleges and universities will also affect urban scientific research and innovation capabilities. The number of universities, scientific research institutions, national scientific and technological innovation platforms and high -level scientific and technological talents are all important indicators to evaluate urban science and technology innovation capabilities.

Institutes of colleges and universities can cultivate and gather scientific and technological talents for cities. When science and technology companies choose the site in second- and third -tier cities, talents are even more important considerations. While improving economic scale and optimization of industrial structure, it is particularly important to supplement the shortcomings of public services. This is one of the core competitiveness of the continuous attraction of talents and industries.
