[Ministry of Science and Technology: Focus on 6 aspects of work to promote the construction of a scientific and technological power to a new level] September 29th, today (29th), the State Council Information Office held a series of press conferences with the theme of "Starting the 15th Five-Year Plan". Minister of Science and Technology Yin Hejun introduced the relevant situation of promoting the construction of a scientific and technological power during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. The "15th Five-Year Plan" period is a critical period for building a scientific and technological power. The "Outline" of the country's "15th Five-Year Plan" takes "substantially improving the level of self-reliance and self-reliance in science and technology" as one of the main goals of economic and social development, and makes systematic arrangements for scientific and technological innovation. The Ministry of Science and Technology will adhere to the "four orientations", firmly grasp the historical opportunities of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, focus on accelerating self-reliance in high-level science and technology, lead the development of new productive forces, and take original and leading scientific and technological research as the main direction to promote the construction of a scientific and technological power to a new level. Focus on 6 aspects of work: The first is to strengthen the foundation, comprehensively improve original innovation capabilities, and build a solid foundation for a technologically powerful nation. To strengthen the strategic, forward-looking and systematic layout of basic research, we must not only face the world's technological frontiers, strengthen original innovation "from 0 to 1", and actively explore "no man's land"; we must also focus on strategic areas related to national security and major interests, and reveal the underlying scientific issues and technical principles of "from 1 to 0". It is necessary to accelerate the advancement of artificial intelligence-empowered scientific research and lead the transformation of scientific research paradigms. Strengthen the construction of high-quality discipline systems, focus on cultivating emerging disciplines and developing interdisciplinary disciplines. The second is to focus on key issues and fight for key core technologies to provide strong support for high-quality development and high-level security. Focus on the long-term development needs and strategic needs of the country, implement the major national science and technology projects that have been launched, and condense and deploy a number of major national science and technology projects for 2035. Focus on scientific and technological issues in national economic and social development, and comprehensively launch the implementation of the “15th Five-Year Plan” national scientific and technological key projects. The entire chain promotes research in key areas such as integrated circuits, industrial motherboards, and high-end instruments, and solves all stuck problems in the innovation chain. Strengthen the research and development of strategic cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, biotechnology, and brain-computer interfaces to seize the commanding heights of scientific and technological development. The third is the plastic industry, promoting the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, and using technological innovation to lead the development of new productive forces. Strengthen the application orientation of scientific and technological innovation, condense major scientific and technological issues from industrial development, and plan and deploy scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation in an integrated manner. Strengthen scientific and technological support to lead the construction of a modern industrial system, promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and let "old trees sprout new shoots"; cultivate and expand emerging industries to create more trillion-level industrial clusters; proactively layout future industries and continuously cultivate new economic growth points. Further strengthen the dominant position of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, and promote the accumulation of more innovation resources in enterprises. The fourth is to benefit people's livelihood, relying on technological innovation to provide more high-quality products and services to improve people's livelihood and well-being. Strengthen agricultural scientific and technological innovation, accelerate scientific and technological research in the fields of major disease prevention and ecological environmental protection, and improve the level of technical equipment in safety production and major disaster response. Through scientific and technological innovation, we can make the sky bluer, the water clearer, the food better, and the body healthier, so that the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security will be more fulfilling, more secure, and more sustainable. The fifth is to strengthen the system, further coordinate the resources and strengths of all parties, and enhance the overall effectiveness of the national innovation system. Optimize the positioning and layout of national strategic scientific and technological forces and strengthen collaborative innovation. Promote the development of educational science and technology talents in an integrated manner and achieve positive interaction between independent innovation in science and technology and independent cultivation of talents. Coordinate and promote the construction of a regional science and technology innovation system, build international science and technology innovation centers and regional science and technology innovation centers, and encourage various regions to build characteristic innovation highlands according to local conditions. Optimize the scientific research ecology, improve the market environment that encourages innovation, vigorously promote the spirit of scientists, and strengthen the construction of scientific research integrity, so that advocating science and pursuing innovation will become common practice throughout society. The sixth is to promote cooperation, promote high-level scientific and technological openness, and build a global scientific and technological community. Strengthen bilateral, multilateral and non-governmental scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation between governments. Focus on global challenges such as climate and energy and strengthen joint research and development. Organize and implement international major science plans and major science projects, and encourage the establishment of international science and technology organizations in China. Actively participate in the formulation of international governance rules in the field of emerging technologies, and work with other countries to build a global science and technology governance system.
