China's top technology cluster ranks first in the world for the first time, and Wuhan has risen for 5 consecutive years in a row

The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan Client September 17th (Reporter Liu Ruizheng) On the 17th, the content of the 2022 global innovation index released by the World Intellectual Property Organization showed that China has 21 top urban science and technology clusters. one. China's urban cluster has become the fastest cluster in the world. Wuhan has risen for five consecutive years and ranks 16th in the world.

The World Intellectual Property Organization is a subordinate of the United Nations. Since 2007, it has released the Global Innovation Index Report. It has released 15 editions so far. The report is considered to be a vane of global economic innovation and an important reference for economic decision -making.

The Global Innovation Index ranks the innovation capabilities of more than 130 countries and economies around the world each year. In addition to ranking according to the country and economy, the urban science and technology clusters in the economy are also ranked. Cluster.

In 2022, a total of 21 cities in China entered the top 100 science and technology clusters, an increase of 1 newly increased from 2021. The first tied to the United States and ranked first in the world.

According to the Chinese officer of the World Intellectual Property Organization, four of the top five scientific and technological clusters in the world are located in East Asia. East Asia's scientific and technological innovation strength and influence are pivotal. It is the cluster of Tokyo-Yokohama (Japan), Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou (China), Beijing (China), Seoul (South Korea), San Jose-San Francisco (US) cluster.

Compared with 2021, the largest number of scientific and technological clusters in the world's top 100 technology clusters in 2022 was three Chinese clusters. They are: Zhengzhou rose 15 places to 83rd; Qingdao rose 12 to 34; Xiamen rose 12 to 91.

Wuhan rose 9 places from 25th to 16th. This is also a significant increase in Wuhan since 2018. From the 43rd, 38th, 29th, and 25th, it came to the 16th place and maintained a rapid rise. Wuhan became the epitome of continuous improvement of Chinese scientific and technological innovation.

At present, Wuhan ranks sixth in the Chinese urban cluster, which is the same as last year. The top five are Hong Kong-Shenzhen-Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai-Suzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou. In addition to the Hong Kong-Shenzhen-Guangzhou and Beijing clusters ranked second in the world and the third place. In addition to last year, the Shanghai-Suzhou, Nanjing, and Hangzhou clusters also maintained an upward trend.

It is reported that the global innovation index is the latest trend of global innovation, and technology clusters are one of the broader global innovation index elements. The Global Innovation Index is composed of about 80 indicators, including indicators to measure the political environment, education, infrastructure and knowledge creation of each economy.

The measurement indicators of urban technology clusters are mainly applied for the international patent number and scientific publications through the PCT (the "Patent Cooperation Treaty").

In the past 10 years, China has made extraordinary progress in the field of intellectual property. In 2021, China ranked first in the world through the number of international patent applications submitted by the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) for three consecutive years. Deng Hongsen, director of the World Intellectual Property Organization, said that China is becoming a leader in global international patent applications and innovation development.

The full version of the Global Innovation Index report is expected to be released on September 29 this year.
