Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei have jointly formulated a set of measures to promote the application of scientific and technological achievements, which will be implemented this year to improve the efficiency of such transformations within the region, according to a two-day meeting concluded on Monday.
These measures focus on six key areas, including streamlining the entire chain of scientific and technological achievement transformation and enhancing multi-sector application scenarios. A total of 19 specific actions have been outlined to help the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region better serve as a driving force for high-quality development of the nation.
In terms of industrial cooperation, the three places this year will work to expand and strengthen seven national-level key industrial clusters, including those focused on safety and emergency equipment, integrated circuits, and next-generation information technology.
Efforts will be also made to accelerate the development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei intelligent connected new energy vehicle science and technology eco-port, as well as establish a hub for intelligent computing power around Beijing.
Beijing will continue to focus on the strategic priority of relieving the city of functions non-essential to its role as the capital and strive for new breakthroughs in this regard, an official of the municipal development and reform commission said.
The city’s sub-center will develop a transportation hub and a technological innovation center. Meanwhile, efforts will be made to promote high-quality, integrated development between Tongzhou district and the neighboring three counties of Langfang city in Hebei province.
Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei also formulated a plan to accelerate industrial innovation and development in the key border areas of Beijing’s Tongzhou district, Tianjin’s Wuqing district, and Langfang city in Hebei province. Actions have been proposed, such as cultivating key industrial chains and clusters, facilitating the application of scientific and technological achievements, jointly developing key industrial parks, and enhancing enterprise empowerment through integrated industry-finance services. All these efforts are aimed at building a vital base for the coordinated development of new quality productive forces in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
