Director Yu Hongwen's Speech at the 2020 (First) Shandong Equipment Manufacturing Industry Science and Technology Innovation Award Presentation Conference

Distinguished guests and comrades:

Very pleased to participate in the first Shandong Province equipment manufacturing industry science and technology innovation awards conference. First of all, on behalf of the Provincial Department of Science and Technology, I would like to extend my warm congratulations to the award-winning units and individuals! I would like to express my high respect to the scientific and technological workers in the field of equipment manufacturing in the province! To participate in and support the development of Shandong equipment manufacturing industry friends from all walks of life to express my heartfelt thanks! 

The equipment manufacturing industry is the backbone of the manufacturing industry, the hard core support of Shandong's real economy, and the "waist pole" that must be erected in the decisive battle of the "14th Five-Year Plan". Judging from the situation in Shandong, the equipment manufacturing industry has become the largest leading industry, and an industrial system with complete product categories, obvious characteristic advantages, and a certain scale and technical level has been initially formed. However, there are also problems such as low proportion of high-end equipment, few leading enterprises, weak independent innovation and technology integration capabilities.

To cultivate and strengthen Shandong's equipment manufacturing industry, we must adhere to the core position of innovation in the overall modernization drive, adhere to the self-reliance of science and technology, increase independent innovation and basic research, and solve key common "stuck neck" technologies such as weak basic technology and insufficient engineering level as soon as possible, Strive to occupy the world's commanding heights, control the right to speak of technology, and accelerate the construction of a large province of modern equipment manufacturing industry. In these areas, the equipment manufacturing association has a good advantage. I hope that you will dare to challenge and take the lead in the planning and organization of scientific and technological innovation, and make new achievements for our province to firmly implement the innovation-driven strategy.

As the business department in charge of scientific and technological innovation, the Science and Technology Department will focus on industry to promote innovation, focus on the strong vitality of enterprises, constantly improve the evaluation mechanism of scientific and technological innovation, and improve the assessment methods of scientific and technological achievements. efforts will be made to form a scientific and technological management and operating mechanism that is conducive to tapping potential, stimulating vitality, and increasing strength, so as to provide good services and support for the healthy development of all kinds of innovation and entrepreneurship subjects in our province.

I wish this conference a complete success!

I wish comrades good health, prosperity and all the best! 

Thank you all!
