5) During the "Twelfth Five Year Plan" period, the biological industry in Hubei Province has developed rapidly, and Hubei Wuhan National Biological Industry Base is in the forefront of the country. During the "13th Five Year Plan" period, how does Hubei Province plan to give full play to its advantages to make the biological industry develop faster? For example, in which areas there will be great breakthroughs, what new policies will come out. Can you introduce the future development prospects of the biological industry in Hubei Province?
But Changchun: Hubei Province is located in the middle of China, with convenient transportation and abundant biological resources. It is an important center of germplasm resources in China, and has sufficient talents in biotechnology. At present, our province has ushered in multiple national strategic opportunities, such as the rise of central China, the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the construction of urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and Wuhan has been identified as a pilot area for comprehensive innovation and reform.
During the "Twelfth Five Year Plan" period, Hubei Province has cultivated the biological industry as an important strategic emerging industry for the economic transformation and development of Hubei Province, and achieved breakthrough development. The industrial scale of the province exceeded 200 billion yuan during the "Twelfth Five Year Plan" period.
During the "13th Five Year Plan" period, the biological industry in Hubei Province will develop rapidly, stride from "quantity" to "quality", and change from "quantity" to "quality" at the same time. Hubei Province will firmly seize the opportunity of the rapid development of the biological industry at present, base itself on the basis of the biological industry in the province, encourage the upgrading and transformation of the biological industry through independent innovation, and concentrate its efforts to cultivate independent innovative products, introduce high-end talents, create a good soft and hard environment for the industry, and increase government investment in biomedicine, biomedical engineering Biological services and other aspects have formed characteristics and become China's precision diagnosis and treatment application center; Relying on the comprehensive transportation hub position of Hubei Province, it has made a breakthrough in the development of medical circulation industry and become an important medical and equipment distribution center in central China; At the same time, accelerate the promotion and application of biotechnology in agriculture, energy, environmental protection, food, chemical industry and other fields, and drive the green transformation and upgrading of traditional industries; Relying on the industrial basis of optoelectronic information and modern equipment manufacturing in Hubei Province, further promote the integration of biological industry, big data and the Internet.
During the "13th Five Year Plan" period, the development of biological industry in Hubei Province will generally focus on four aspects:
First, further optimize the provincial biological industry layout of "one zone with multiple parks", and realize the linkage development mechanism of "enterprise clustering, industrial differentiation, and resource complementarity" of all parks in the province.
The second is to strengthen the investment of government funds. Hubei Province will integrate relevant government funds during the "13th Five Year Plan" and establish a provincial bio industry development fund relying on the "Yangtze River Economic Belt Development Fund" and other platforms. At the same time, equity investment, loan discount, guarantee subsidies, insurance subsidies and other means are comprehensively used to support the development of biological enterprises in a diversified way.
Third, support policies will be formulated in international integration, achievement transformation, talent introduction, market access, scientific and technological innovation, achievement application, intellectual property rights, brand creation and other aspects to promote the market, talents, capital and other resources to focus on biological enterprises.
Fourth, we will actively encourage the professional development of industrial services, establish a number of alliances and associations/societies with industry influence, and encourage the development of professional service institutions including intellectual property declaration, qualification recognition, law, finance, consulting, etc. At the same time, it plans to build a number of major biological R&D/public service platforms to further improve the industrial chain of the biological industry.
In general, our province will further improve the division of labor system, innovation system, professional service system, investment and financing system and talent security system for the development of the province's biological industry, Promote Hubei's leap from a province with large biological resources to a "strong industrial province, innovation center, service center, data hub, logistics center", and become the most important biological industry cluster and growth pole in China and even the world.
