How do make new development?

Hunan need give full play to the key of innovation

 

After a trip with climbing and turning around, a cup of water which was put in a floating train did not spill over a droplet. This example demonstrated that the maglev train levitated smoothly in the air. People could take the maglev train between Changsha High Speed South Station to Huanghua Airport since May of this year. It’s a fantastic and comfortable levitation trip which takes only 20 minutes.

The length of this medium-low speed maglev operation line which is innovated independently in Hunan is 18.55 kilometers. It creates two records: the first medium-low speed maglev line with independently intelligent property and also the longest medium-low speed maglev line in the world.

Hunan delivered a remarkable innovation report: super computer Tianhe-2 with fastest operation speed in the world, large scale hybrid rice with the world highest yield and the concrete pump truck with longest arm etc.

 Except the “star” industry, there are more than 1,300 enterprises appeared in Hunan’s innovation map. They have significant influences to the world even though located in an inland area.

From January to June in 2016, the output value of hi-tech industry in Hunan increased 15.8%, the increase rate in service domain is 9.5% and 71.6% in mobile internet domain.

According to 2015 China Regional Science Progress Evaluation, the comprehensive science progress index of Hunan is 54.29% which increased 4.68% compared to 2014. Hunan arrived in the first place of increasing rate.

Hunan people are always daring to be the first and pursue excellence. Thus Hunan people have deeper understanding of innovation and make more practices.

Hunan people have more creative idea. “Why we can’t use glass panel on the phone?” A brilliant idea generated in 13 years ago, makes LENS TECHNOLOGY growing from a small workshop with 8 people to a huge enterprise with 90,000 employees and 5 billion Yuan of market value.

Hunan people have more advanced concept. Taifu Heavy Industry Co., Ltd located in Xiangtan does not only sell products like other engineering corporation but do a package from design, implementation and financing. The output value reaches nearly 2 billion just after 3 years of establishment. Taifu group realized a surprising increase in the recession.

Hunan people have more concentration. The CEO of YonKer Environmental Protection Co., Ltd Mr. Liu Zhijun focused in environment protection domain for 18 years instead of pursue money in immobilization domain. And he finally creates a miracle that makes YonKer become the only listed environmental protection company in Hunan.

Hunan people have more courage. A good example is the medium-low speed maglev line which turns from a blueprint in reality in just 2 years. Except the perseverance of R&D institute and concentration of building parties, determination of decision-maker is more important. The academician of China Engineering Institute and the director of expert committee Liu Youmei said that “The enterprise has developed this project since more than 10 years. It can’t be put into practice without the support from government. The source of innovation is generated from enterprise. However, market-entering of innovative output could be realized with the support of policy.

It’s clear to see that government should protect and encourage innovation spirit. Xiangjiang newly developed area of Hunan is the first national level newly developed area in central China and approved by State Department in April of last year. There are 6 main tasks including discover the new path of innovation. How to encourage the innovator and eliminate the worries? The newly developed area published Implementation method of establishing the mechanism of Mistake-tolerant and Punishment-free (Trial Version) in order to make innovator more confortable. “Hunan province is not lay along the coast or country frontier, element driven is not suitable for Hunan. So if we can’t make full use of innovation, there is no hope to build prosperous and beautiful Hunan.” A decision maker explained.  

Innovation requires motivation of enterprises, vitality of market, propulsion of policy and concentration of government. Hunan province has all the advantages and necessary conditions.

“I had a dream that the yield of hybrid rice could arrive 17 tons per hectare before my 90 years old birthday. But now I think it can reach 18 tons.” said by Yuan Longping in Hybrid rice R&D center. Mr. Yuan Longping has new dream at his age of 86 years old……
