Chapter 1 General Provisions

Article 1: In order to guide and regulate the construction and development of Shandong Province's pilot demonstration base for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements (hereinafter referred to as the "pilot base"), build a more sound and efficient chain for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, accelerate the implementation of advanced and applicable technologies in our province, and in accordance with the spirit of documents such as "Several Measures to Accelerate the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements" (Lu Zheng Ban Zi [2024] No. 148), this method is formulated.

Article 2: The pilot base referred to in these Measures refers to a scientific and technological achievement transformation service entity that focuses on key links in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, relies on industry advantage innovation resources or public innovation service platforms, is constructed or operated by legal entities, gathers centralized testing facilities, equipment and professional talents, conducts mature research and development of small-scale R&D achievements, and intermediate amplification experiments, and provides mature, applicable, and complete sets of technology for enterprise scale production.

The third pilot base is located in the middle and lower reaches of the innovation chain, committed to achieving seamless connection from scientific and technological research and development to industrialization of achievements. It is an "enlarged laboratory and a reduced production line", built according to the principles of "focusing on industry, advanced technology, open sharing, standardized management, market mechanism, and controllable risks", and focuses on providing external pilot services.

The main tasks of the pilot base in Article 4 include sample trial production, process validation, scale-up maturation, small-scale trial production, product performance testing, technical consulting services, etc.

Article 5: Adhere to practicality and demand-oriented approach, focus on the key industrial chain in our province, subdivide pilot fields according to technical needs, strengthen top-level design, promote the construction of pilot bases in stages and steps, and accelerate the formation of a complete and systematic layout of pilot bases.

Article 6: Encourage government departments at all levels to combine leading industries, coordinate planning and layout, integrate various pilot resources, and build open and specialized pilot bases. Encourage various parks, universities, research institutions, third-party public service agencies, etc. to build pilot bases that meet the common needs of the industry, and carry out high-level pilot services across industries and fields. Encourage chain owners and key industry enterprises to collaborate upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, condense pilot demand, and jointly build pilot bases. Explore models such as "pilot+research and development", "pilot+incubation", "pilot+fund", and "pilot+scenario", vigorously develop the "pilot+" ecosystem, innovate profit models, and enhance self generating ability.

Article 7: The Provincial Department of Science and Technology is responsible for the identification, management, and performance evaluation of pilot bases. The relevant departments directly under the provincial government and the science and technology bureaus of each city serve as the competent departments for their own departments and local pilot bases, responsible for organizing applications, daily services, and other work. The supporting units of the pilot base strictly implement the main responsibilities of safety, environmental protection, confidentiality, etc. in accordance with the principle of territorial management.
