“During the inspection in Guangxi, President Xi made an unprecedented demand on technology and innovation here which is closely connected to GIIT. Over the past few days, GIIT has been integrated into the 14th Five-year Plan of Guangxi. According to Governor Lan Tianli’s instruction, Qin Rupei, Standing Committee Member of the Provincial Party Committee and Executive Vice-governor of Guangxi, and Fei Zhirong, Vice-governor of Guangxi will oversee the development of GIIT. A series of documents and meeting has shown the determination of the provincial government and the policy for innovation supporting the quality development of industry. We need to reinforce our political stance and strive for great achievements on a new platform in a new environment. Thus, we shall push forward the construction of GIIT into the core engine of innovation-driven development, only by doing so can we not fail President Xi, the provincial Party Committee and Government and the expectation of the people.

“By grasping the development orientation and its historic mission and following the guideline of “Front-end Focus, Medium-term Coordination and Rear-end Conversion”, GIIT will be working on commercialization of findings, key areas of industry development and mainstream of economy development so as to shape new points of growth, upgrade self-dependent innovation, acquire core technology and finally build an industry research ecology with Guangxi characteristics, accelerating the realization of technological self-sufficiency. First of all, specialized institutes should be encouraged. There should be a benchmark among institutes, as well as public service and convenience for the development. Meanwhile, institutes need to have great vision. By applying a new operation pattern which is marketized and corporatized, these institutes should centralize research and innovation which is oriented by the market for the fulfilment of revenue goals. In doing so, an innovative way which is self-sufficient and self-dependent will be paved. We need to generate papers in workshops, meeting the need of research and profit-making, pushing forward the integration of technology and economy and increasing the input-output efficiency.
Secondly, specialized institute construction should be accelerated. Adaptation to the trends of technology and industry development will be proactively made for the implementation of building 50 specialized institutes in the national 14th Five-year Plan, while considering both Guangxi characteristics and leapfrogging development in the long run. Hence, we should build specialized institutes devoted to fields including new information technology, biopharmaceutical, high-end manufacturing, new material, energy saving and environmental protection and modern agriculture. Thirdly, we will make further improvements on technology financing system which includes means like investment, lending, funds and bonds so as to leverage social capital and optimize fiscal funds efficiency. Fourthly, more generic technology platforms and pilot test bases should be constructed to push forward the integration and innovation of up-stream, mid-stream and down-stream industries as well as businesses of all sizes for the commercialization of more new products and new technologies. Last but not least, space will be created for technology and innovation by participating in the design of China-ASEAN Science and Technology City surrounding international center for technology and innovation which is ASEAN-oriented. Industry zones will be designed and planned and professional research and development industrial parks that cover different fields will be jointly build with local governments based on their industrial foundation, characteristics and needs.

“We must be patriotic and learn thoroughly about President Xi’s important views on technology and innovation, implementing the guidelines in our work. We share Provincial Party Committee’s urgent mission and shall be relentless when it comes to striving to forward and build GIIT into the aircraft carrier of science and technology in Guangxi. GIIT will take the moving of office site as an opportunity, seize the day, strengthen the sense of responsibility, be more enthusiastic and united as one. With great performance and achievements in work, we will repay the Provincial Party Committee and Government for their care and support, pay a tribute to the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and make contribution to the building of communism with Chinese characteristic in Guangxi.”
