"We are a big manufacturer of machinery, but not a strong country."
After more than half a century of development, especially the construction and development since the reform and opening up, China’s machinery industry has formed an independent industrial system. With considerable foundation, scale, and strength, more and more product output has begun to enter the world. Forefront.
“However, we are still only manufacturing machinery in the 'big' country, rather than the machinery manufacturing 'strong' country. Mechanical products do not have world-famous brands, lack of products with independent intellectual property rights and strong international competitiveness; many key technologies and core technologies Also from abroad; a technological innovation system that focuses on companies as the mainstay, market orientation, and a combination of production, study and research has not yet been established; the protection of intellectual property and the social environment are still not satisfactory; the contribution rate of new products, the life cycle of new products, and other indicators Substantially lower than industrialized countries, scientific and technological achievements cannot be translated into real productivity in time; basic research, cutting-edge technology research, industry commons, and key technologies are seriously lacking in research, said Yu Zhen, president of China Federation of Machinery Industry. Why is such a situation formed? Yu Zhen believes that the key is the lack of independent innovation capabilities. She said that from the actual situation of China's machinery enterprises, almost no one company can use the high-intensity technology investment, forward-looking deep deployment, and strong scientific and technological strength to carry out technological innovation like multinational companies. A considerable number of enterprises can only make partial improvements to their products at present, and only a few companies have the ability to develop the next generation of products. This is not commensurate with the size of China's machinery industry. Without timely enhancement of independent innovation capabilities, the development of the machinery industry will face the problem of lack of stamina. It will also be detrimental to the sustainable development of the country’s economy and the long-term stability of the country.
Strengthen innovation ability? Companies need to “self-strengthening�
Yu Zhen believes that China's machinery industry should become stronger. First, companies in this field must first increase their independent innovation capabilities. ??
First, we must increase investment in science and technology and accelerate the construction of enterprise technology development centers, and gradually enable the transition of enterprise technology development centers from general product development and process technology improvement to the acceleration of the development of independent technologies, provide forward-looking technology reserves for enterprise development, and promote enterprise technology. upgrade. It is necessary to vigorously promote product innovation, establish a corporate development strategy centered on leading products and supported by independent intellectual property rights, promote technological upgrades, accelerate product replacement, foster independent brands, and create world famous brands, and persist in making breakthroughs.
Secondly, we must correctly grasp the relationship between imported technology and independent innovation, actively use the technology spillover effect of joint ventures and cooperative production, and unswervingly shift our foothold from relying too much on foreign technology to relying mainly on independent innovation to accelerate the introduction of technology. Digestion, absorption, and innovation. Develop core technologies with independent intellectual property rights and foster the independent innovation capabilities of the machinery industry. To summarize the experience and lessons of repeated introductions, repeated introductions, and “market-for-technology†for more than 20 years, focusing on the digestion, absorption, and re-innovation of imported technologies, so that we can shorten the number of developed countries as quickly as possible through the introduction of technology. The technological gap increases the competitiveness of the industry's international market.
In addition, we must also pay attention to joint cooperation among enterprises, vigorously promote the joint research of production, education, and research, and promote the achievement. We must concentrate on overcoming and solving major problems that impede the development of the industry and affect technological progress. In particular, it is impossible to restrict technological progress in China's machinery industry. The technical capabilities provided to us must increase self-cultivation, accelerate the development of independent technologies, and meet the needs of industry development and economic development.
Innovation is inseparable from environmental construction
Enhancing the ability of independent innovation is not only an issue for the company itself. Governments, industry associations, and universities are all important factors in the independent innovation environment. This is a common view shared by people in the industry. ??
Yu Zhen believes that as a government department, it is necessary to explore the working mechanism and support system for the basic research of the mechanical industry under the new situation. Through the national special plan and special fund support, strengthen the research and development force, and for the technological progress of the industry, new product development and enhancement. International competitiveness lays the technical foundation. We must rely on the "Three Gorges Project," "West-East Gas Transmission," "South-to-North Water Diversion," and "West-to-East Electricity Transmission," and other national key projects to vigorously promote the localization of core technologies and major equipment, and promote and encourage the use of domestically-made first and first-set technologies. Efforts will be made to promote the implementation of key technology development projects in the machinery industry under the "Special National Major Industrial Technology Development Project."
The role of industry associations and intermediary organizations in technological innovation cannot be ignored. It is necessary to speed up the construction of technological innovation service agencies and industrial intermediary organizations such as the Machinery Industry Productivity Promotion Center, and accelerate the transfer of scientific and technological achievements to industrialization so that they can form productive forces as soon as possible. , driving the industry to upgrade. We should give full play to the service functions of industry associations, societies, and public institutions, give full play to the talents and technological advantages of all units, provide timely and effective technical consulting and technical services for enterprises, and help enterprises conduct technological innovation and product development. Accelerate the establishment and improvement of socialized service systems for technology consulting and technology transfer to enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises.
At the same time, we must increase human capital investment, strengthen human resources capacity building, speed up the cultivation of mechanical industry engineering technology, corporate management and high-skilled personnel, and accelerate the cultivation of innovative scientific and technological talents, especially young and middle-aged innovative talents. , to ensure the urgent need for the development of the industry.
How does machinery manufacture change from "big" to "strong"?
The machinery industry is the basic industry of the national economy and the equipment industry of the national economy. It assumes the task of providing technical equipment and production tools for all sectors and industries of the national economy. It is not only an important part of the country’s industrialization, but also the material and industrial material of the country. Technical Support. The level of development of the machinery industry has influenced, to a large extent, the technological progress and level of industrial development of related industries. So, what level of China's machinery manufacturing industry is in the end?
