    In 2022, from the central to the local level, more than 50 achievement transformation policies will be intensively released

    In recent years, China's basic research achievements have achieved explosive growth, but the transformation data of scientific and technological achievements is not optimistic
    .
    The annual conversion rate of medical scientific and technological achievements in China is less than 8%, which is lower than the average conversion rate of major scientific and technological achievements in all fields of 20%, and it is far lower than the ratio
    of nearly 70% in the same field in the United States and Japan.
    Therefore, it is urgent to accelerate the transformation and breakthrough
    of scientific research activities from quantitative change to qualitative change, from basic theory to technology development.

    The annual conversion rate of medical scientific and technological achievements in China is less than 8%, which is lower than the average conversion rate of major scientific and technological achievements in all fields of 20%, and it is far lower than the ratio
    of nearly 70% in the same field in the United States and Japan.

    The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China further emphasized the national strategy of improving the scientific and technological innovation system and realizing innovation-driven development, and pointed out key measures
    such as "deepening the reform of the scientific and technological system, deepening the reform of scientific and technological evaluation, increasing diversified investment in science and technology, strengthening the legal protection of intellectual property rights, and forming a basic system to support comprehensive innovation".
    In order to implement the spirit of the "20th National Congress", the central and local policies have accelerated the corresponding layout
    .

    "Deepen the reform of the science and technology system, deepen the reform of science and technology evaluation, increase diversified investment in science and technology, strengthen the legal protection of intellectual property rights, and form a basic system to support comprehensive innovation"

    According to incomplete statistics, in 2022, the central and local governments issued more than 50 policies to support the transformation of science and technology, which not only increased in number compared with previous years, but also showed new characteristics
    of wide distribution, rich levels and a hundred flowers 。 From the distribution point of view, in addition to Beijing, Shanghai and other places, inland areas such as Inner Mongolia and Shanxi, as well as many third-tier cities and below, have issued corresponding policies, indicating that technology transformation has received widespread attention, and the spark of achievement transformation is igniting the trend of the plain across the country; From the content point of view, many regions have combined the spirit of the central document with the characteristics of regional development, such as Hebei issued policies to encourage the transfer and transformation of Beijing-Tianjin scientific and technological achievements in Hebei, and built a "Beijing-Tianjin R&D, Hebei transformation" model, giving full play to its location advantages
    .

    It not only surges in number, but also presents new characteristics
    of wide distribution, rich layers and blooming flowers.

    In particular, more and more local governments have noticed that the basic and cutting-edge characteristics of life medicine research, high investment, high risk, and long cycle, put forward higher requirements
    for the accuracy, effectiveness and inclusiveness of policies.
    Therefore, in the policies to be introduced in 2022, Beijing, Shanghai and other places have clarified a number of special policies for the transformation of medical science and technology, so as to give full play to the vanguard role
    of medical research institutions in the process of achieving pharmaceutical innovation and development.

    Four significant trends in pharmaceutical technology transformation policies in 2022

    Four significant trends in pharmaceutical technology transformation policies in 2022

    1 Financial support: Early R&D guidance funds come into play

    Financial support: Early R&D guidance funds come into play

    In the corresponding policies in 2022, Guangdong, Shandong, Heilongjiang and other places have clearly given direct subsidies to enterprises that successfully carry out the transformation of achievements in relevant planning policies, while enjoying preferential tax policies, and further opening up green channels
    for innovative enterprises in the fields of loans and bonds.

    Direct subsidies will be given to enterprises that successfully carry out the transformation of achievements, while enjoying preferential tax policies, and further opening up green channels
    for innovative enterprises in the fields of loans and bonds.

    At the same time, some regions have also noticed that the power of funds cannot only stay at the back end
    .
    For a long time, more than 80% of China's total R&D investment has been spent on back-end trial development, basic research institutes have received funding disproportionate to their key position, incentives for late-stage results are not enough to support early-stage R&D, and high-tolerance patient capital and seed funding are lacking
    .
    In this regard, some regions have begun to explore the form
    of science and technology innovation funds guided by the government and market-oriented operation.
    For example, Beijing has set up a 30 billion yuan science and technology innovation fund of funds, of which 80% is invested in start-up projects in the original innovation and achievement transformation stage, and some of the funds will be invested for up to 15 years
    .
    In addition, the fund also strengthens the linkage with universities and research institutes to support the incubation and transformation
    of high-tech achievements.
    In October 2022, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other six ministries and commissions issued the Notice on Allowing Central Universities, Scientific Research Institutions, Enterprises and Institutions to Apply < Beijing >Regulations on Promoting the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements in the Core Area of Zhongguancun National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone (Haidian Park), fully affirming Beijing's relevant policies

    Some regions have begun to explore the form
    of government-guided and market-oriented science and technology innovation funds.
    80% of the investment is in the original innovation and achievement transformation stage of start-up projects, and part of the capital investment period is as long as 15 years
    .
    In addition, the fund also strengthens the linkage with universities and research institutes to support the incubation and transformation
    of high-tech achievements.

    2 Talent construction: break the inherent form of talent evaluation and training

    Talent construction: break the inherent form of talent evaluation and training

    Talent incentives have always been an important concern
    .
    In 2022, Heilongjiang, Fujian, Chongqing and other places have further clarified the relevant policies for talent incentives, ensuring the benefits of the transformation of scientific researchers' achievements and the autonomy of patents, which plays an important role
    in accelerating the transformation of achievements.
    At the same time, the establishment of a title evaluation mechanism linked to the transformation of achievements has also been written into relevant policies
    as an incentive mechanism.

    Ensuring the benefits of the transformation of scientific researchers' achievements and the autonomy of patents plays an important role
    in accelerating the transformation of achievements.
    At the same time, the establishment of a title evaluation mechanism linked to the transformation of achievements has also been written into relevant policies
    as an incentive mechanism.

    In addition, the policy released in 2022 not only expands the concept of scientific and technological talent evaluation, but also further pays attention to the training mechanism
    of talents of different gradients 。 The "Work Plan on Carrying out the Pilot Project of Evaluation and Reform of Scientific and Technological Talents" issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology separately explores and evaluates four categories of talents, including undertaking major national research tasks, basic research, applied research and technology development, and social welfare research, and clarifies the scientific research orientation and achievement orientation of talents; The Ministry of Education and other relevant documents for scientific research talents in colleges and universities further clarify the cultivation
    of high-level talent teams, leading talents, full-time scientific research teams and industry-education collaborative innovation talents, and other talent teams of different types and stages of development.
    This series of policies starts from the source of compound and transformational talent construction, and focuses on the improvement
    of talent innovation ability.

    Further attention should be paid to the training mechanism of talents of different gradients

    In 2022, the attention to technical managers in various places has become a major feature of talent policies, and Beijing, Shandong and other places have issued special policies as a key development direction, focusing on cultivating compound talents with strong professional capabilities, giving full play to the important connecting role of technical managers in the process of transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and opening up the key points
    of the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements.

    3 Expand the market: the technology element market is fully launched

    Expand the market: the technology factor market is fully launched

    Creating a smoother scientific and technological transformation platform and optimizing industrializable scientific and technological achievements has always been regarded as an important means to
    optimize the resource market.
    In the policies released by various regions in 2022, many highlights have also been reflected, such as innovating patent evaluation methods and establishing a technology exchange database of scientific and technological achievements
    .

    However, for the market-oriented reform of technological factors, the space for policy play is limited to the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and compared with the monetization of technological elements and commodities, its rights and capitalization can solve the institutional dilemma
    of technology-driven innovation from the entire system construction.
    Under the guidance of the spirit of the relevant documents of the State Council, the "14th Five-Year Plan" special plan for the market of technical elements clarifies six major directions
    for building a market for technical elements, such as improving the property rights system for scientific and technological achievements and strengthening the supply of high-quality scientific and technological achievements.
    The market mechanism will not only act on the technology transfer and industrialization link, but also start from the root cause and give play to the decisive role
    of the market in the allocation of technological factor resources.
    This policy will play a key role
    in the transformation and development of market-oriented scientific and technological achievements in the next few years.
