Riding on the momentum to accelerate scientific and technological innovation

Whether you insist on doing a good job or participating in fierce international competition, it is urgent to adhere to the innovation as the first driving force to lead the development, firmly grasp the key variable of scientific and technological innovation, and win the initiative in the global scientific and technological revolution and industrial change

To date, the flight distance of more than 200 million kilometers, completing the deep space maneuver at a distance of about 30 million kilometers away from the Earth, and more precise flight to the destination of Mars. ...

From the great powers, original innovation, to frontier exploration, livelihood science and technology, China's scientific and technological cause of major innovations have emerged, and some cutting-edge fields have begun to enter the parallel running, leading stage, scientific and technological innovation to achieve high-quality development and high-quality life provides a vigorous momentum.

Currently, the global scientific and technological revolution and industrial change continue to advance, opportunities and challenges. China's scientific and technological strength is at a critical stage of climbing over the hurdles, and is moving from quantitative accumulation to qualitative leap, and from point breakthroughs to systematic capacity enhancement. Whether you insist on doing your own thing or participating in the fierce international competition, it is urgent to insist on innovation as the first driving force to lead the development, firmly grasp the key variable of scientific and technological innovation, seize the opportunity, take advantage of the momentum, and climb up to a higher scientific peaks, so that we can win the initiative in the global scientific and technological revolution and industrial change.

Accelerating scientific and technological innovation should be demand-oriented and problem-oriented. To solve the real problems of economic and social development and improvement of people's livelihood, we need more scientific and technological solutions than ever before. Some of the key components, parts and raw materials are dependent on imports; oil and gas exploration and development, the development of new energy technology is insufficient; the people's requirements for a healthy life continue to rise, biomedicine, medical equipment and other areas of scientific and technological development lagging behind the problem of the increasingly prominent ...... These reflect the urgent needs of the country and the long-term needs of the actual problem, we must be to the scientific and technological innovation The answer must come from scientific and technological innovation. In the process of solving these problems, not only do we need the power of science and technology to step forward, but we will also provide a "question bank" and a stage for scientific research and technological research, which will lead to new breakthroughs and technological progress.

Scientific exploration is not a straight path, and scientific and technological innovation has no end. To fully release the great potential of the innovative talent team and innovation and creative energy, fully mobilize all aspects of enthusiasm, initiative, creativity, firmly grasp the strategic opportunity to adhere to the innovation-driven development, scientific and technological innovation will continue to emerge, scientific and technological innovation will be more broad.
