“In the past, government investment funds were not very effective as parent funds, and there was no corresponding reward and punishment mechanism regardless of success or failure.”

    There are 13 national university science and technology parks in Shanghai, and Yangpu District accounts for half of them. There are 7 national university science and technology parks, of which 3 are ranked among the top ten in the country.How can scientific research results in universities be transformed into real productivity more smoothly?How to crack the "last mile" and improve the ability to "turn paper into money"?Liberation Daily·Shangguan NewsThe reporter recently interviewed several university science and technology parks in Yangpu District.It took only 2 months to come up with a domestic production plan for surgical suture needlesBehind an inconspicuous surgical suture needle is the story of going from clinical needs to scientific research and then to transformation of results.Doctors from the Ninth Affiliated Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine proposed that domestic surgical suture needles are prone to bend and deformed, so they mainly rely on imports in clinical practice.Can qualified surgical suture needles be independently developed?The School of Materials of Shanghai University of Technology took the lead in research and came up with a solution in just 2 months, with a price of only one-tenth of imported products."Under the catalysis of the '25 Articles' policy on scientific and technological reform,Surgical suture needle is the first result of cross-cultivation of Shangji Technology and Medical Engineering.The company has been registered in our science and technology park and is preparing to register medical devices.”Jing Yong, General Manager of Shanghai Science and Technology ParkTell the reporter of Jiefang Daily and Shangguan News that in order to give full play to the advantages of medical and industrial intersection and advanced manufacturing in Shangshen Science and Technology, a medical device innovation and transformation platform has been recently established.Surgical suture needles led by Shanghai University of TechnologyFudan-Xinzailing Big Data Joint Research Center is a "school-enterprise joint laboratory" that has been established for two years.“So-calledJoint Laboratory，yesThe results transformation services are provided by enterprises, schools and science and technology parks.This will integrate academic frontiers and corporate needs, solve common problems in the industry, and accelerate the transformation of results.”Wang Wei, General Manager of Fudan Science and Technology ParkAccording to the introduction, Zhejiang Xinzailing Technology Co., Ltd. will invest 10 million yuan in the joint laboratory within three years, and Fudan University’s Big Data School has carried out platform construction for smart community big data in response to corporate needs, etc. It has completed 5 invention patent applications so far and cultivated a group of smart community big data talents.At present, Fudan Science and Technology Park has implemented 15 "school-enterprise joint laboratories" projects, involving biomedicine, big data, blockchain, artificial intelligence, etc., with a total contract amount of 249 million yuan.A corner of Fudan Science and Technology Park.Photography by Xue ZhimingWalk around several university science and technology parks in Yangpu, and you will have a more emotional understanding of the characteristic industrial clusters of "one circle, one corridor, one valley, one park".Going up and downstairs means going up and downstream, and there will be an industrial chain without leaving the park" has become the standard configuration.Around the Tongji knowledge economy circle, characterized by modern design, among the more than 2,300 innovative knowledge enterprises, more than 600 teachers and students from Tongji University started their own businesses;Fudan Innovation Corridor has more than 10,000 related enterprises of various types and more than 170,000 employees;Shanghai Caida Financial Valley is the only national university science and technology park in the country that focuses on science and technology finance;We have incubated many hidden champions in the industry by relying on the advantageous disciplines such as optomechanical integration, CNC machine tools, and energy power.Institutional innovation, press the "fast forward key" for the transformation of resultsThe transformation of university science and technology park achievements requires pressing the "fast forward button", and the key is to institutional supply and innovation.“In the past, government investment funds were not very effective as parent funds because there was no corresponding reward and punishment mechanism regardless of success or failure.This time, we have carried out institutional innovation.”Ma Qing, Deputy Director of Yangpu District Science and Technology CommitteeAccording to the introduction, Yangpu District supports and guides the University Science and Technology Park to establish the "Science and Technology Park Joint Growth Investment Fund", with the first phase of the scale of 300 million yuan.At the same time, Shanghai University of Technology jointly established the "Spark Fire Ripberry" fund with a scale of 22.8 million yuan.Both funds are guided by government investment funds to attract social institutions to participate.But significantly different from other government investment funds, private equity fund managers are no longer hired as managers, but are the general manager of the University Science and Technology Park.Establish a manager follow-up investment mechanism, i.e.The actual investment amount of fund managers when investing in each project shall not be less than 2%. They must take out "real money" to advance and retreat with the investment project.General Managers of these University Science and Technology ParksSome are independent directors of state-owned enterprises, and some hold teachers or administrative positions in colleges and universities. In order not to conflict with the "manager" regulations, they resigned from their original positions.forEach investment of more than 5 million yuan,Managers cannot be "one-manager", butThe decision-making committee shall vote.In addition, in the past, every time the state-owned capital increase and share expansion was carried out, it had to go through a long approval process.Now, after negotiation with the Shanghai United Property Exchange, legal transactions can be carried out as long as they are listed on the United Property Exchange in the future, and the original approval system will be changed to a filing system.“This system's innovative breakthrough is also the first in China, and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in the future will enter the 'fast lane'.”Ma Qing said.How to crack the "last mile" of results transformation and improve the ability to "turn paper into money"?University Science and Technology Park in YangpuThey moved the "last mile" forward, aiming at "front hatching", and began to inject industrialized "seeds" during the R&D stage.“A project with broad industrial prospects should take the initiative to run towards it when it is still 100 kilometers away from industrialization.”Jing Yong said that the "surgical suture needle" project is still in the laboratory research stage, and Shangsheng Science and Technology Park has provided a fund of 200,000 yuan to encourage R&D personnel to take the path of industrialization.Tongji Science and Technology Park is also exploring the scientific and technological achievement transformation fund to support the further research and development of potential scientific and technological achievements to improve the maturity of industrialization."This money fills the gap between school research and commercial operation, and it is also a difficult point in the transformation of results.”Dai Dayong, General Manager of Tongji Science and Technology Parkexplain.A corner of Tongji Science and Technology Park4.0How will the version of the science and technology park make efforts in the transformation of results?From the 1.0 version of "Technology Real Estate" to "Technology Real Estate" +Conversion Services +Technology Finance +In the 4.0 version of the full life cycle incubation, how can the University Science and Technology Park make efforts in the transformation of results?Wang Wei believes thatThe scientific and technological achievements transformation capabilities and coordination mechanism of the Science and Technology Park need to be strengthened.On the one hand, the connection with the university's scientific and technological achievements management agencies is not close enough and there is no clear coordination mechanism.The positioning of the University Science and Technology Park in the school’s scientific and technological achievements transformation system is not clear enough;On the other hand, there is no complete technology transfer service system and market-oriented mechanism, and the effect of promoting the supply and demand docking of scientific and technological achievements information is not obvious."at presentThe main position of science and technology parks in the transformation system of scientific and technological achievements in colleges and universities is not prominent.Further policy support is also needed when taking on some important scientific and technological achievements transformation projects."Dai Dayong said that Tongji Science and Technology Park is in contact with a blockchain transformation platform project, which will involve many costs such as venues, personnel, and operations in the future, and it requires continuous investment. It is difficult to sustain itself by relying solely on the park's own resources.A corner of Shangshen Science and Technology ParkJing Yong said that the transformation of scientific and technological achievements is a highly professional intermediary service. Although the current talent recruitment mechanism is in line with the market,The current incentive mechanism is still lagging behind and it is difficult to attract excellent professional talents.
