East China’s Jiangsu province has spared no efforts to strengthen innovation and speedup the pace of reform so that scientific and technological innovation has significantly enhanced the support for its high-quality development and advanced the construction of an innovative province at a high level.
Wuxi-based China Fasten Group signed a technical cooperation agreement recently with the Institute of Membrane Science and Technology of Nanjing University of Technology to turn the metal product pickling solution into waste for comprehensive utilization.
Through the joint innovation center established in collaboration with the Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute, the Fasten Group was able to find a partner for its technical needs that have plagued the company for a long time.
In the past year, new research and development institutions such as the Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute have become important boosters for promoting innovation throughout the province. The province's market-oriented technology trading system was completed and the transaction volume exceeded 100 billion. In 2018, Jiangsu's total social R&D investment increased by 7.5% to over 243 billion yuan. 50 general projects won the National Science and Technology Awards, continuing to rank first in the country.
Since last year, science and technology departments at all levels in the province have focused on 13 advanced manufacturing clusters, and carried out 131 key technology research and development in the fields of Internet of Things and high-end equipment manufacturing, which has promoted the transformation of 124 major achievements, boosted the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and accelerated the construction of an independent and controllable modern industrial system.
The rapid alarm sound came from the forest fire alarm system of the Dr Sun Yat-sen’s Mausoleum Administration. Compared with traditional monitoring equipment that can only identify open flames, this set of artificial intelligence monitoring system can make early warning through smoke so that fire fighters will arrive at the site 1 to 2 hours earlier than usual. At the same time, it can automatically distinguish the topography of the sky, mountains, lakes, etc., greatly reducing the false alarm rate.
Jiangsu now registers more than 360 artificial intelligence enterprises with the industrial scale expected to exceed 100 billion next year, enabling the province to be in the first echelon in the country. Through preemptive layout, a large number of new industries such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, nanomaterials, and biomedicine have flourished throughout the province.
Up to now, Jiangsu registers 18,000 high-tech enterprises with the output value of high-tech industries accounting for 43.8% of the industrial output value above designated size.
In the first quarter of this year, the output value of high-tech industries in the province increased by 5.1% year-on-year, and the investment in high-tech industries increased by 4.1% year-on-year.
The aerospace, biomedical, intelligent equipment and other industries experienced rapid growth, which has injected momentum into the province’s economic development.
