After five years' construction, the top ten public technology service platforms were finally completed and put into operation on December 31. Those platforms, whose building was led by the government, cover all the aspects of transformation and development of enterprises, such as information consultation, technological innovation, quality examination and market development. There is no doubt that they will serve as a powerful engine to promote the transformation and upgrading of enterprises in Ningbo.
"Supported and guaranteed by the public service platforms, we are to go further to improve the innovative chain, to optimize the innovative resources, to cut the innovative cost and to enhance the innovative efficiency." said Yu Hongyi, member of the Standing Committee of Ningbo Municipal Party Committee and Vice-mayor of Ningbo.
Breaking the bottleneck of industrial upgrading
During the 11th Five-year Plan Period, guided by the scientific development concept, Ningbo achieved a lot in terms of promoting industrial upgrading and adjusting industrial structure. However, the extensive mode of growth featuring high investment and consumption with low technology and low efficiency has not been fundamentally changed. The lack of fundamental technology platforms and the imperfection of the innovative service system are the major constraints on the improvement of the innovative capacity of small and medium-sized enterprises. During the 11th Five-year Plan Period, a batch of public technology service platforms was constructed. With a strong regional feature, these platforms mainly provided service for the local massive economy instead of for the whole industrial structure optimizing.
In order to gather the innovative resources ad break the bottleneck of industrial upgrading, Ningbo has begun to engage in the government-led construction of the top ten public technology service platforms since 2006.
Investing a billion yuan into the platform construction
The aim of constructing public technology service platform is to benefit the optimal allocation of the technological innovative resources, to realize the sharing of the innovative resources, and to cut construction and operation cost. To achieve this goal, Ningbo Municipal Party Committee and Ningbo Government decided to build the top ten public technology service platforms in Ningbo Research and Development Park. To be specific, the platforms are as follows: he city public technology service platform of food security, the city public technology platform of special equipments, the city public technology service platform of drug and medical instruments, the city public technology service platform of 3C compulsory certification, the city standardization public technology service platform, the city national quality public technology service platform, the city measurement public technology service platform, the city public technology service platform of energy-saving and consumption-reducing, the city public service platform of comprehensive technology service and technology literature retrieval, and the city public technology service platform of software technology.
Over the last five years, in accordance with the mentality of "government driven, self developing, resource sharing, channel opening and pluralistic funding", Ningbo has been promoting the construction of the ten platforms with a total investment of one billion yuan.
Providing services 15,000 times for enterprises
Six out of the ten platforms are constructed by Ningbo Quality Supervision Bureau. Recently, the six platforms including those for standardization, measurement, 3C certification, special equipments, food security and national quality examining center made their debut in the public technology service park of Ningbo Quality Supervision Bureau.
It is reported that with the 187 social public measurement standards, 660 measurement examination and calibration projects, examining capacity for approximately 2500 products or parameters, examining projects for 43 special equipments and five national quality inspection centers, the need for local inspection can be satisfied.
In the past few years, by actively responding to such accidents as melamine, dyed buns, lean meat powder, fake pepper power and plasticizer, the platforms have provided powerful technological support for related law-enforcing departments. So far, the service of the platforms has radiated to Zhoushan, Taizhou, Jinhua and Lishui.
Statistics show that by the end of 2011, the ten platforms had provided services 15000 times for enterprises during its construction and development.
Building over 100 platforms
To accelerate the construction of public technology service platforms is an effective way to improve the regional innovative and entrepreneurial environment. It will further alleviate the relative shortage of public technology service resources and speed up the innovative city construction.
According to the preliminary statistics, during the 11th Five-year Plan Period, in addition to the top ten platforms, the municipal-level investment is directed to build over one hundred public service platforms. A public service platform system covering all aspects of entrepreneurship and innovation of enterprises has been built
