Xi Jinping emphasized that "scientific and technological innovation is the core element of developing new quality productivity" and "greater efforts should be made to lead industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation". Accelerating the development of new quality productive forces is a strategic plan made by General Secretary Xi Jinping to promote high-quality economic development at a new historical starting point. For China Building Materials Group, accelerating the development of new quality productivity is the mission and responsibility of implementing the Party Central Committee's decision-making and deployment, and is an urgent need for its own development. We must further implement the strategy of innovation-driven development, better play the main role of enterprise innovation, accelerate the development of new quality productive forces, and promote the high-quality development of enterprises to a new level.
Insisting that innovation is the first power
and science and technology is the first productive force. Scientific and technological innovation can give birth to new industries, new models and new momentum, which is the core element of developing new quality productivity. From the major scientific and technological progress in human history to the development of the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and other frontier fields in recent years, all of them are the performance of new industries generated by new technologies, and then the formation of new productivity. In the fierce international competition, if we want to open up new fields and new tracks, shape new momentum and new advantages, fundamentally speaking, we still need to rely on scientific and technological innovation.
At present, global scientific and technological innovation has entered an unprecedented period of intensive activity, and a new generation of disruptive technologies in the fields of information technology, biology, energy and materials are constantly emerging. The impact of scientific and technological innovation on national destiny and economic and social development is unprecedented in scope and depth. In the face of unprecedented changes in the world in a century, in order to better cope with risks and challenges and seize development opportunities.
We must plan according to the situation, act according to the situation and act according to the situation.
As the leading enterprise in the world's top 500 building materials industry and the only central enterprise in the building materials industry, under the guidance of innovation-driven development strategy, China Building Materials Group insists on promoting industrial innovation through scientific and technological innovation, and actively exerts the innovation of 26 national research and design institutes, 3 national key laboratories and 8 national engineering (technology) research centers. Promote the transformation of a number of high-level scientific and technological innovations, such as high-performance carbon fibers, lithium battery diaphragms, refractories, advanced ceramics, power generation glass and artificial crystals, into industrial achievements, support the formation of a new material industry system with a hierarchical layout of 1 billion to 5 billion to 10 billion yuan, and focus on improving core competitiveness through scientific and technological innovation. Accelerate the transformation from traditional building materials to new materials industry, better play the role of scientific and technological innovation, industrial control and safety support, and help build a modern industrial system with integrity, advancement and safety. As the main body of operation,
enterprises are the main force and power source of economic development, and the main organizers and participants of scientific and technological innovation activities. Enterprises are at the forefront of the market, can see the "artillery fire" and hear the "artillery sound", can more sensitively grasp the social needs of scientific and technological innovation, more effectively promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and industrial development, is an important force in the development of new quality productive forces.
To strengthen the dominant position of enterprises in innovation, we should increase the intensity of basic research and development. Scientific and technological innovation is a long-distance race, which is more than endurance to maintain intensity. Among them, the breakthrough of basic research is a key link, which needs to substantially increase the investment intensity of basic research in key industries and increase the endogenous nature of innovation and development. To win the battle of key core technologies, we must identify the "neck" areas and weak links, concentrate high-quality resources to tackle key problems, and focus on increasing the proportion of basic research in R & D. Over the years, China Building Materials Group has focused on "four orientations"-facing the world's scientific and technological frontiers, the main economic battlefield, the major needs of the country, and people's lives and health, continuously increasing the intensity of investment in basic R & D, implementing the system of "unveiling the list and taking the lead", and making every effort to promote key core technologies. From 2016 to 2023, the average annual investment in R & D was more than 10 billion yuan, with a compound growth rate of 12.3%. In the past two years, 307 core invention patents have been added, and a number of "bottleneck" technologies such as carbon fiber composites for large aircraft, large-size infrared optical materials and high-efficiency power generation glass have been successfully conquered. Many new materials have been applied to the "heavy weapons of great powers" such as the Long March and Shenzhou, and many scientific and technological innovations have served and guaranteed major national projects. To
strengthen the dominant position of enterprises in innovation, we should realize a virtuous circle of science and technology industry finance. For enterprises, the achievements of scientific and technological innovation should not stay in the "laboratory", but go to the "production line". China Building Materials Group not only attaches great importance to the breakthrough of basic scientific research innovation from 0 to 1, but also pays attention to the transformation and application of achievements from 1 to 100. On the one hand, we should focus on the industrial chain layout and innovation chain, deepen the long-term cooperation with universities and scientific research institutions, actively participate in the "one belt and one way" scientific and technological innovation cooperation, make good use of the global scientific and technological achievements, enrich intellectual resources and high-end talents, and accelerate the construction of overseas joint laboratories. On the other hand, we should focus on the industrial chain of innovation chain layout, give full play to the role of "question maker" and "answer maker" of scientific and technological enterprises, explore the "self-answering" mode supported by our own high-end equipment companies or R & D centers in the fields of lithium film, glass fiber and new glass materials, and accelerate the establishment of a production and research cooperation mechanism based on the premise of sharing income and risk, sharing intellectual property rights and locking in the protection period. Give full play to the advantages of state-owned capital investment companies, and use long-term capital, patient capital and strategic capital to support the faster transformation of innovative achievements. At present, the Group has nurtured 397 high-tech enterprises and created 21 single champion manufacturing enterprises, continuously providing new momentum and opportunities for the development of new quality productivity. The transformation
of
scientific and technological innovation achievements is an important bridge connecting scientific research and production, the core link of cultivating and developing new quality productivity, and the necessary barrier from technological innovation to industrial innovation. Industry is the carrier of productive forces, and only industrialization of scientific and technological achievements can become social productive forces. Based on the strategic positioning of the group, in order to better play the leading role in tackling key problems of new materials, incubating new formats and cultivating new industries, and promote the high-quality development of the material industry, we must pay more attention to the efficient docking of frontier science and technology with market demand, pay more attention to the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, and promote the development of the material industry. The achievements of scientific and technological innovation should be applied to the transformation and upgrading of the basic building materials industry, the cultivation of strategic emerging industries and the future industrial layout in a timely manner, and efforts should be made to break through the three difficulties in the transformation of innovative achievements, to link up scientific and technological innovation with industrial innovation, and to transform the "key variable" of scientific and technological innovation into the "maximum increment" of high-quality development of enterprises.
Innovation front-end, to achieve a breakthrough from "technology leading" to "standard leading". Give full play to the advantages of scientific research institutes affiliated to the Group, make good use of revolutionary scientific and technological innovations and tools such as material genetic engineering and artificial intelligence, enhance the basic original ability and R & D efficiency of "from 0 to 1", and focus on the supply of original leading technology, with a more open attitude, pool more high-quality factor resources for collaborative innovation. Accelerate the creation of the original technology source of the material industry with global competitive advantages. Transform innovation achievements into patent achievements, and transform patent achievements into industrial standards or even global standards. In the global competition, efforts should be made to cultivate original and basic high-value patents, give full play to the leading advantages in the fields of basic building materials and "double carbon" technology, highlight the international patent layout in key regions such as Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, actively participate in the formulation of international standards, and realize the transformation from "technology leading" to "standard leading".
Innovate the middle end to achieve a breakthrough from the "start-up period" to the "growth period". Consolidate the functional advantages of state-owned capital investment companies in the material industry, take the lead in setting up new material industry funds, actively play the role of "catalyst" and "amplifier" of industrial funds, do a good job in financial and economic value analysis and capital market value analysis, and accelerate the implementation of internal leading transformation and external transformation according to the priority of important levels of scientific and technological innovation achievements. By means of strategic investment and fund participation, we can disperse the investment risks in the early stage of the transformation of achievements, cooperate with the capital market and use external funds to support small and medium-sized enterprises through the "start-up period" of the transformation of innovative achievements. "One generation of materials, one generation of equipment", equipment is another important carrier for the transformation of innovative achievements in the material industry. Promote the integration of equipment business, establish China National Building Material Equipment Group and build high-end equipment intelligent manufacturing park, establish high-end equipment system of new material industry through independent innovation, vigorously improve the self-sufficiency rate of equipment, deeply participate in the construction of modern industrial chain of non-metallic materials of the Group, and promote the smooth transformation of innovative achievements of new materials into real productive forces in the industry.
Innovate the back-end to achieve a breakthrough from "being replaced" to "being relied on". Insist on demand orientation, keenly capture market demand, improve the feedback mechanism from the back end to the front end, put forward rolling and iterative research tasks by production-oriented enterprises, and give full play to the role of "question maker" of enterprises. We will systematically promote the industrialization of innovative achievements, improve the foresight of innovation, and simultaneously carry out research on the iterative upgrading of existing products and the prediction of alternative products. Focus on the development trend of new material industry, strategic emerging industries and future industrial development prospects, and advance the layout of research and development and production of new energy industry application materials such as hydrogen storage cylinders, flexible glass and power generation glass. We will increase investment in new materials industries in frontier areas, constantly enrich the product base of strategic emerging industries of the Group, provide solid support for accelerating the formation of new quality productivity and achieving high-quality development, and demonstrate the role of state-owned enterprises.
