Favorable Resources and Policies to Enable Xixian New Area in Shaanxi Province to Become a Center of Scientific and Technological Innovation in Western China
XI'AN, China, March 21, 2022 /Xinhua=KYODO JBN/--
The weather becomes warmer and spring is evident everywhere in Xixian New Area,
where enterprises and industrial parks focus on scientific and technological
innovation. Project construction in Xixian New Area is accelerating in 2022.
New opportunities offered by Qinchuangyuan, the province's innovation platform,
speeds up industrial development, enabling this open and innovative city to
align with the world with strong momentum.
In the first quarter of 2022, Xixian New Area signed 48 projects through the
combination of online and offline channels, with a total investment of RMB
86.046 billion, and introduced ten Fortune 500 companies, six Top 500
enterprises of China and three Top 500 enterprises in industry, according to
Xixian New Area Administrative Committee.
Shaanxi is a province with abundant science and education resources. In order
to transform its technological advantages into economic advantages, in March
2021, the construction of the Qinchuangyuan innovation platform was launched.
This platform will serve as an incubator for collaboration, an accelerator for
commercialization, and a booster for integration, so that universities,
research institutes and enterprises can participate in it and jointly promote
the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements. The
headquarters of Qinchuangyuan is located in Xixian New Area.
In the past year, Xixian New Area has focused on implementation of provincial
and municipal plans and expended great effort in building the Qinchuangyuan
headquarters. As a result, the number of national high-tech enterprises has
increased by 53%, new small- and medium-sized technology enterprises have grown
by 48%, and technology contract transactions have increased by 34% there. The
New Area ranks first among the 65 pilot units nationwide in the formation of
Innovation China. The effect of combination of these initiatives and the
leading innovation role played by the Qinchuangyuan headquarters have
strengthened at high speed.
Resource agglomeration showing the demonstration effect
In order to accelerate the gathering of scientific and technological
initiatives and stimulate development momentum, Shaanxi Province, Xi'an
Municipality and Xixian New Area have all introduced supportive policies over
the past year. Among them, Xixian New Area has released 15 inclusive policies
and measures for the needs of technology enterprises, entrepreneurial talents,
innovation platforms, intermediary agencies and other sectors. Investors that
introduce technology-based projects to the Qinchuangyuan headquarter will be
rewarded with 1% (up to RMB 3 million) of the actual investment when the
enterprises are established and reach production capacity as agreed.
In 2021, 431 technology enterprises were introduced into Xixian New Area; 901
new small- and medium-sized technology enterprises were established, and
technology contract transactions reached RMB 10.704 billion. Innovation
vitality continued to rise and the innovation ecosystem continued to improve,
resulting in the aggregation effect of science and technology innovation.
"As the location of the headquarter of the Qinchuangyuan innovation platform,
Xixian New Area promotes the joint construction of innovation platforms by
enterprises, entrepreneurial and innovation investors, and universities. The
New Area focuses on a technological innovation system in which 'enterprises
play the leading role, the market is the guide, and industry, universities,
research institutes and applications are integrated'. There will be continuous
improvement in the ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship, and the
agglomeration of a range of innovative initiatives will be accelerated," said
Yang Renhua, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Xixian New Area and
Leader of the Qinchuangyuan Innovation Platform Construction Leading Group in
the New Area.
Xia Baojun, a representative of enterprises participating in the Cloud Signing
at the beginning of this year, said that since the launch of Qinchuangyuan,
innovation resources have been increasingly drawn to Xixian New Area, including
leading state-owned enterprises and technological innovation services covering
finance, law and human resources. This trend has strengthened the confidence of
enterprises in developing here, I believe that in the future, more world-class
enterprises will take root here and share industry cluster resources.
Collaborative innovation to generate strong momentum
Innovative parks such as Fengdong Free Trade Industrial Park and Western Cloud
Valley of Fengxi New City to the north of the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi are
thriving.
On both sides of the Weihe River, innovation platforms such as the Western
China Science and Technology Innovation Harbour and the "Soaring Town" of
Northwestern Polytechnical University are bursting with vitality, providing a
constant flow of talent and intellectual support for Qinchuangyuan.
Along with the fast-tracked establishment of the Qinchuangyuan innovation
platform the number of scientific and technological innovation enterprises has
mushroomed, and an increasing number of local scientific research achievements
are being locally transformed into products. In 2021, Xixian New Area explored
a "batch authorization model" for the transformation of innovative achievements
with Xi'an Jiaotong University and other universities. A platform of scientific
and technological achievements transformation was jointly built with six
universities, such as Xidian University. It integrates more than 4,000 large
scientific research instruments using an online scientific and technological
resource sharing platform, staged 58 road shows and promoted 191 achievement
projects.
To date, Qinchuangyuan's technology brokers have processed in excess of 800
high-quality scientific research achievements. Contracts for the transformation
of scientific and technological achievements have been signed with more than
120 enterprises. This was effectively enabled by cooperation with 14
universities, including Xi'an Jiaotong University and Northwestern
Polytechnical University, and seven research institutes including the 39th
Research Institute of the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation.
At the beginning of spring this year, many science and technology innovation
enterprises in Western Cloud Valley Phase II in Fengxi New City were busy with
scientific research and production, aiming to capitalize on the peak season for
orders. At Shaanxi Jukang Gaobo Medical Technology Co., Ltd., the wheels were
running at full speed and machines were moving rhythmically, on which
mechanical testing of a 3D-printed human dummy was underway.
Yang Chuncheng, general manager of Shaanxi JuKang Gaobo Medical Technology Co.,
Ltd, said that relying on the Qinchuangyuan innovation platform, a team headed
by Professor Li Dichen from Xi'an Jiaotong University completed the
transformation of scientific and technological achievements and registered a
company for the Controllable Precision Bone-making Project. Innovation support
and achievement transformation policies, along with fee exemptions, in the
industrial park have boosted the team's R&D momentum.
With the help of the Qinchuangyuan innovation platform, various market players,
universities and institutes are engaging in comprehensive interactions, and
Qinchuangyuan is pressing forward with high-quality development.
Attracting talents to enhance innovation vitality
In order to enable Qinchuangyuan to attract high-end talents, Shaanxi Province
plans to accelerate the introduction of high-end foreign experts this year. A
model based on "employment by universities, use by enterprises, and subsidies
by the government" will be deployed, and there will be significant support for
enterprises for the introduction of high-level talents from China and abroad. A
number of overseas offshore innovation centers and intelligence introduction
service centers will be built to expand the channels for overseas high-end
talents to come to China for cooperative research and academic exchange.
On March 14, Xixian New Area issued the Qinchuangyuan Innovative Talents Plan
to facilitate an orderly flow of talents and form an attractive option for
innovation and development in Qinchuangyuan. According to the Plan, recognized
talents will be rewarded with 100% funding for three consecutive years, based
on their personal financial contribution in the previous year. In particular,
talent projects funded by national, provincial and municipal authorities will
be supported by a combination of equity investment and financial aid. A funding
of up to 50% of the total will be given, with a maximum of RMB 1 million.
"We will adhere to the principle of 'enterprises as the main body, talents as
the main force, market as the main guide and government as the main driver'. We
will accelerate the solicitation and cultivation of key enterprises, pool
together resources from state-owned enterprises, universities, institutes and
the city of Xi'an, strongly encourage coordinated development, accelerate the
construction of the Qinchuangyuan headquarters, and provide strong support for
high-quality development of Shaanxi Province and Xi'an city," said Jiang
Jianchun, Director of the Xixian New Area Administrative Committee and
Executive Deputy Leader of the Qinchuangyuan Innovation Platform Construction
Leading Group in the New Area.
Gathering high-end initiative resources globally, a more open Xixian New Area
is growing rapidly.
