In accordance with the requirements of the top-level design of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the deployment of the Qingdao municipal party committee and government, we will adhere to the concept of “great science and technology” to plan and promote scientific and technological innovation. We will deepen the reform of science and technology management as the driving force to realize the transformation from scientific research management to innovation management and promote science and technology. Closely integrated with the economy. First, we must innovate the institutional mechanisms and do a good job of innovation to drive the development strategy. Qingdao Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government established the Science and Technology Innovation Committee. From the municipal level to the Innovation Committee's structure, it collaborated with the provincial, Qingdao provincial colleges and universities to create innovative resources, and expanded the comprehensive coordination function of the Qingdao Municipal Science and Technology Bureau. We will give full play to the role of the Innovation Commission and integrate all forces and resources to create an innovative joint force.

Second, we must serve strategic needs and do a good job in the construction of marine national laboratories. On October 30, the Qingdao National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology was officially launched. This is an important measure for the implementation of the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Shandong Province and Qingdao City. Its construction reflects the high degree of integration of national and local goals. Local governments took the initiative and invested 1.3 billion yuan in infrastructure construction in advance, and the relevant ministries and commissions such as the Ministry of Science and Technology gave them strong support. The second is to reflect the model innovation. We emphasize “de-administration” in management and strive to build the National Laboratory of Marine into a world-class collaborative innovation platform after 3-5 years of hard work, making it among the world’s leading marine scientific research institutions.

Third, we must intensify the transformation of achievements and do a good job in the building of a “creating ecology”. Qingdao City will build its future core competitive advantage on innovation capability, entrepreneurial vitality, and potential for creating customers. We will accelerate the gathering of high-end innovation elements, deepen the cooperation with universities and central enterprises, upgrade the dominant position of corporate technological innovation, vigorously develop the technology service industry, and create a favorable environment for innovation and entrepreneurship. We will strive to build Qingdao into a “City of Innovation, Capital of Entrepreneurship, Island of Makers” at the end of the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan”.
