Qingdao will focus on the development of marine instrumentation industry

Introduction: Committed to building the “Blue Silicon Valley of China”, under the framework of “China Blue Silicon Valley”, the High-tech Zone will have a very clear choice of industries: focusing on the construction of marine biology and medicine, marine instrumentation, and high-end equipment related to the sea. Marine environmental protection and corrosion and other four major industries.

The reason why Silicon Valley is the core of Silicon Valley is that the top R&D strength is always in line with the powerful industrial power. It is the Apple, Intel, Cisco and many high-tech small and medium-sized enterprises that stand shoulder to shoulder with Stamford that together formed the unique face of the US Silicon Valley.

Qingdao, which is committed to building "China's Blue Silicon Valley," is obviously well-known in China.

In the overall layout of “one district, one park”, along with the “Silicon Valley Corridor” (“one district”) stretching along Binhai Avenue, the Jiaozhou Bay Northern Park (“one park”), a high-tech zone that complements each other and supports each other, will More Embracing the Mission of Building Blue Industrial Highlands The new “China Blue Silicon Valley” strategic plan has given the High-tech Zone a more precise mission and also provided a clearer vision for the future of the High-tech Zone.

This 63-square-kilometer wide area has long been difficult to conceal in the past. Eye-catching is the modern service center, convenient transportation network, turbulent water system, patchwork forest green space, garden skit... and more importantly, the more updated industrial positioning in the Blueprint of Silicon Valley makes this future blue. The roaring engine in the highlands of the industrial estate is clearly visible.

Leading R&D leaders learned that under the framework of “China Blue Silicon Valley”, high-tech zones will have a very clear choice of industries: to focus on the construction of marine biology and medicine, marine instrumentation, high-end equipment related to the sea, and marine environmental protection and anti-corrosion. Four major industries.

“One of the most important considerations in determining this industry positioning is to fully rely on Qingdao and even the top research institutes and R&D teams in China. This will not only provide a platform for the industrialization of research results, but also ensure the continued competitiveness of the industry.” Deputy Commissioner Zhao Shiyu said.

The cultivation of the marine instrumentation industry led by the Institute of Ocean Instrumentation of the Shandong Academy of Sciences is a representative example.

According to Liu Mengde, the director of the institute, about 80% of marine instruments and equipment used by sea-related units in China rely on imports, 10% rent foreign products by lease, and only 10% use domestic products. Although relying on its own R&D strength, Haiyi Institute has achieved a great deal of results, but it is difficult to scale production because it is subject to funds and space.

The reporter saw in the office on the west side of the Catholic Church that the old-fashioned three-story building and a narrow courtyard did indeed "strangle" its hands and feet. Filling our country's blank R&D achievements in marine underwater welding technology and equipment, marine detection sensor equipment, etc., can only be produced in small quantities in a modest workshop-like manner.

"After we build an industrialization base in the Hi-tech Zone, a group of high-tech scientific test instruments and sensors will realize large-scale production. It will not only be able to break the blockade imposed by foreign advanced technology on China, but also occupy the domestic market, and we will be able to go abroad. With a certain share in the world market, it is expected that the annual output value of the project will reach 1,500 to 2 billion yuan.” Liu Mengde is full of confidence in the future.

What is more important for Liu Mengde is that the operation of the industrialization base will completely change the existing scientific research route of “application subject-technical R&D-project completion-application award” to “application subject-technical R&D-strategy-entering the market The brand-new model is to achieve a virtuous circle of marketization and R&D of new technologies and new products. "I believe that this base will promote the emergence of more outstanding results, and then give birth to more outstanding companies," Liu Mengde said.

According to Zhao Shiyu, like the marine instrumentation industry, the high-end equipment industry in Qingdao Hi-tech Zone depends on the Qingdao R&D base built by the Institute of Optoelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the offshore wind power generation cooling system of Zhongke Shengchuang (Qingdao) Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. Project entry;

The marine environmental protection and anti-corrosion industries are led by the Institute of Oceanography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and are dedicated to filling the gaps in marine corrosion research and development and industrialization. After 3-5 years, we will build a state-level “Corrosion State Assessment Center for Marine Engineering Structures” and “Marine Anti-corrosion Coatings Performance Evaluation and Evaluation Center”, with more than 200 R&D personnel and 3-5 high-tech hatchery companies. In addition, marine environmental protection anti-corrosion coating projects with a total investment of more than 90 million U.S. dollars are accelerating construction...

He introduced that as of now, the four key industries in the High-tech Zone have cumulatively introduced 23 projects with a total investment of 4.37 billion yuan.

Breakthrough in CRO While fully relying on local R&D resources, it is also an important path for high-tech zones to build industrialized highlands in Blue Silicon Valley and to foster oceanic advantageous industries and enterprises.

“Initially, the introduction of China was mainly a simple processing of 'three to one supplements', and later it developed into an OEM OEM. Now, CRO is a major opportunity for international industries to transfer to China,” said Zhao Shiyu.

The so-called CRO is global R&D outsourcing, the most prominent manifestation in the biopharmaceutical industry. CRO provides technical services including new drug product development, preclinical testing and clinical trials, data governance, and new drug applications, covering almost the entire process of new drug development and testing the safety and efficacy of new drugs.

Authoritative organizations analyze that in the global pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical companies in developed countries are slashing R&D expenditures and outsourcing more and more R&D to Asia under the huge cost pressure of new drug R&D activities. At present, the global market value of CRO is about 40 billion U.S. dollars, and it is growing at an annual rate of 16%.

"Biomedicine, especially new drug research and development, is an industry with a very high capital and technical threshold. CRO is a very good breakthrough, so we can choose a paragraph to enter this field." Zhao Shiyu said, "The first stage of development was for European and American giants. Outsourcing R&D can obtain profits and accumulate capital in the short term, and at the same time, through outsourcing participation in the global innovation drug R&D services, it is actually involved in the innovation drug R&D chain and gains the accumulation of technology and experience. It is also a process of accumulating independent innovation capabilities."

It is in order to break through from the CRO that the High-tech Zone specifically planned and constructed the Qingdao Blue Biomedical Industrial Park. The 120,000-square-meter incubator center plans GMP pilot test platform, GLP R&D space, public experimental platform, open lab, and comprehensive supporting functional areas; it will establish more complete experimental research, research and development, pharmacology, pharmacodynamics, and toxicology. Bio-pharmaceutical industrial chain such as safety evaluation, pilot test and clinical research.

“Our goal is to build a CRO base that is first-class in Asia and has important influence in the world,” said the relevant person in charge of the industrial park. “In the past, OEMs in China were relying on migrant workers, the competition was labor costs, and now CRO will be college students. We believe our base will absorb and help more and more college graduates find jobs and start businesses."

It is understood that Hi-tech Zone is aiming at entrepreneurial services while building a technology platform. It has already begun to build a professional enterprise service team, provide sales counseling, and assist enterprises in obtaining relevant national certifications and other support. In addition, related supporting industries, including professional logistics systems that meet the special needs of the biopharmaceutical industry, are also actively introduced and effectively deployed.

Construction of "Special Zone"

To become the “Blue Silicon Valley of China” industrial highland, the gathering of talents and the convergence of capital are indispensable. The High-tech Zone is trying to build a special talent zone and a capital special zone through various measures such as institutional innovation.

It is understood that Qingdao has already established a pilot project for the construction of a “talented zone” in the High-tech Zone, set up a special fund for the development of talented personnel of 100 million yuan, and organized high-level talents to start strategic and emerging industries, including the blue economy, in the “Talent Zone” to engage in cooperation. For research and implementation of transformation of achievements or provision of supporting services for high-tech enterprises, support will be given to support funds for entrepreneurship, subsidies for rental housing, subsidies for the purchase of homes for purchase, income tax subsidies for personal income, and work arrangements for spouses, children enrolled in schools, medical care, and welfare Treatment and other aspects to give preferential support.

In the construction of the Capital Special Zone, the High-tech Zone issued the first preferential policy to encourage the development of equity investment in the province. The province’s first foreign-invested equity investment fund and the city’s first provincial fund to support venture capital guidance funds all settled in the High-tech Zone and was held for the first time. The city's high-tech private equity investment summit forum. As of the end of September, there were 45 equity investment institutions registered in the High-tech Zone, with a cumulative registered capital of RMB 2.215 billion and a total fund size of RMB 4 billion.

The new three board pilots are also rapidly advancing. At present, there are 32 pilot companies, of which 6 are recommended by the broker core, 2 are pre-core, and reserve company resource reserves are 110.
