The deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation is the annual theme of the 2026 Zhongguancun Forum. Technology transactions accounted for more than 20 of the more than 100 events. At the same time, my country actively participates in global standardization governance, promotes the integration of Chinese standards with international advanced standards, and leads high-quality development with high standards. "News 1+1" will pay attention to: 2026 Zhongguancun Forum, how to transform scientific and technological achievements?
Analysis from three angles
Why technological innovation and industrial innovation need to be deeply integrated
Lei Chaozi, executive vice president of the China Association for the Promotion of Industry-University-Research Cooperation: Scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation are an important development direction during the 15th Five-Year Plan. At present, there are some problems in scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation. First, university research institutes produce a lot of papers, but their transformation is relatively small. Second, there are relatively few major original achievements. Third, the industry generally lacks competitiveness and lacks scientific and technological support. Therefore, from this perspective, technological innovation and industrial innovation must be deeply integrated.
In order to improve the efficiency of transformation of scientific and technological achievements, it is necessary to strengthen the in-depth integration of industry, academia and research led by enterprises, and to establish a long-term mechanism in which enterprises propose questions, universities, research institutes and enterprises answer the same questions together, and the market tests them. In this case, scientific and technological innovation can be centered around market demand and existing problems in industrial development, so as to improve the conversion rate of results.
Parallel forum on standardization and technological innovation and development
What are the new highlights?
Wang Ying, deputy director of the Beijing Institute of Standardization: Compared with previous years, there are new changes in the following aspects this year:
There are more ways to display results. In the past, more industry experts were invited to share and exchange technical experience. This year's forum focuses on embodied intelligence, intelligent connected cars and other fields, and has added interactive display links.
In addition, this year, three aspects including intelligent manufacturing, intelligent audio-visual and social environmental governance were added, focusing on new key industries and key areas, and three sub-forums were opened. It can make standards and technological innovation more closely integrated.
In the process of integrating technological innovation and industrial innovation
What is the role of the construction of a standard system?
Wang Ying: Standards are the cornerstone and foundation of science and technology. First, as a universal language, it can make technologies better interconnected.
Second, standards are the basis of rules, which can enable technological innovation to open a fast channel from the laboratory to industrialization and realize the "last mile" role in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.
In addition, standards are also promoters of experience. The technical team solidifies good experience and practices to form standards, which can promote and apply technology better and faster. In a nutshell, standards are the glue and accelerator for the integration of industry and innovation. Through the replication of new technologies and successful experiences, technology and industry can be deeply integrated to realize a two-way journey.
More and more Chinese standards are moving towards the world stage
What's the point?
Wang Ying: For our country, the most important significance of participating in international standardization work now is that we can participate in the construction of global rules and contribute China's experience. By participating in international standardization work, first, share the successful experiences explored domestically with the world.
Second, our country can better and more deeply integrate into the global innovation network. Standards are a universal language. By participating in the formulation of international standards, we have changed from recipients in the past to co-constructors of rules. We can bring technical solutions and research results to the international stage and discuss and improve them with other countries. This can make our standards more diverse and inclusive and achieve sustainable development.
