National innovation index report 2015 released China's second leading innovation group

Source: the national innovation index of people's daily on July 1, 2016 is an important indicator reflecting the comprehensive innovation capacity of the country On September 29, China Academy of science and technology development strategy released the national innovation index report 2015 (hereinafter referred to as the report) What is China's position in the global innovation landscape? What are the problems in the process of innovation in China? The United States, Japan and Europe continue to lead global innovation, and China has risen to the 18th place According to the report, the current pattern of the United States, Japan and Europe leading global innovation is basically stable In terms of the composition of the top ten countries with global innovation capacity, the top four countries remain unchanged, followed by the United States, Japan, Switzerland and South Korea; Denmark, Germany, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Singapore are ranked fifth to tenth Compared with the previous year, Britain and Singapore ranked in the top 10, Israel fell out of the top 10 to the 14th, and Finland fell 2 to the 12th China's national innovation index ranks 18th in the world, surpassing Australia According to Wu Yishan, vice president of China Academy of science and technology development strategy, according to the analysis of the results of national innovation index over the years, 40 countries participating in the evaluation can be divided into three groups The top 15 countries in the composite index are the first group, all of which are recognized as innovative countries, including 1 in the Americas, 4 in Asia and 10 in Europe; the second group, mainly other developed countries and a few emerging economies, ranks 16-30; the third group, mostly developing countries, ranks after 30 "China is now in the leading position of the second group, and the gap with the first group is further narrowed." Wuyishan said that in 2014, China's national innovation index score reached 68.6 points, an increase of 0.2 points over the previous year, surpassing Australia's 0.7 points, and continues to expand its leading edge with other countries such as Canada, New Zealand and Luxembourg The gap between China and Austria, ranked 15th, is further narrowing, from 2.4 last year to 0.8 "China's innovation ability is far ahead of other countries at the same level of economic development." According to Wuyishan, China's per capita GDP in 2014 was US $7590, only higher than that of India and South Africa in 40 participating countries However, the score of China's national innovation index is far higher than that of India and South Africa, close to Austria, Belgium and other European countries with per capita GDP of about 50000 US dollars China's sub indicators of innovation resources, knowledge creation and enterprise innovation have been improved, but the innovation environment needs to be improved The national innovation index has five first-class indicators, including innovation resources, knowledge creation, enterprise innovation indicators and innovation performance, and innovation environment In 2014, China's innovation resources, knowledge creation and enterprise innovation index rankings were all improved, the innovation performance ranking was the same as that of the previous year, and the innovation environment index ranking declined According to the report, China's innovation resources ranked 27th in 2014, up 2 places over the previous year Among them, R & D investment remained at a high level In 2014, China's R & D investment accounted for 14.4% of the world's total, continuing to rank second in the world, further narrowing the gap with the United States; R & D investment accounted for 2.05% of GDP, ranking second to 15th place higher than the previous year In terms of knowledge creation, China ranked 12th in knowledge creation in 2014, up 7 places over the previous year Among them, the number of SCI papers has reached 250000, and the total number of SCI papers published in China since 2010 has reached 6.334 million in 2010-2014, ranking second in the world in terms of both indicators; the number of domestic invention patent applications has reached 801000, accounting for 47.5% of the world's total, and the number of domestic invention patent authorizations has reached 163000, accounting for 24.8% of the world's total , ranking first and second in the world As an important subject of innovation activities, the performance of enterprises is also good According to the report, Chinese enterprises ranked 12th in innovation in 2014, up 1 place over the previous year Among them, PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty), an abbreviation of Patent Cooperation Treaty, is an international treaty on patents According to PCT, patent applicants can submit international patent applications through PCT and apply to multiple countries.) The number of patent applications increased from 233 in the previous year to 270, ranking one place higher to 27th; the proportion of the number of third-party patents in the world and the ratio of R & D funds to added value of enterprises ranked the same as that of the previous year, ranking sixth and fifteenth respectively; the ranking of comprehensive technology independence rate rose four places to ninth "This shows that the scale and quality of innovation of Chinese enterprises are steadily improving." Wuyishan said "Innovation environment is an important foundation and guarantee for improving national innovation capability In 2014, China's innovation environment ranked 19th, down 6 places from the previous year, which needs attention." Wuyishan said that the three indicators of "macroeconomic environment", "the impact of government procurement on technological innovation" and "the impact of government regulations on enterprise burden" still rank at the top, ranking fourth, fourth and ninth respectively This shows that China has a good and stable market and policy environment "The difficulty of obtaining venture capital support for enterprise innovation projects" dropped significantly, from the fifth to the eleventh place This means that with the rise of innovation and entrepreneurship in China, the demand for venture capital of enterprises is increasingly urgent, and the supply capacity of capital market needs to be improved "Intellectual property protection efforts" also declined to a certain extent, from 25th to 32nd With the rapid growth of patent output, the social demand for intellectual property protection is stronger and stronger, and the government's efforts to protect intellectual property need to be further improved The research object is that 40 countries whose total R & D investment accounts for 97% of the global total are objective monitoring and evaluation of national innovation capacity China Academy of science and technology development strategy, affiliated to the Ministry of science and technology, started to carry out research on national innovation index since 2006 The national innovation index report of the previous year has been released since 2011 The national innovation index report 2015 draws on the latest research results on "national competitiveness" and "innovation evaluation" at home and abroad, and references the evaluation reports of international authoritative institutions such as the world economic forum and the international management and Development Institute of Lausanne, Switzerland, and establishes "innovation resources", "knowledge creation", "enterprise innovation", "innovation performance" and“ The evaluation index system of 30 second level indexes, including 5 first level indexes of innovation environment, R & D investment, effective invention patents and intellectual property protection This year's report continues to take 40 countries with active scientific and technological innovation activities, whose total R & D investment accounts for 97% of the global total, as the research object Based on the relevant statistical data from 2013 to 2014, the innovation indexes of 40 countries are calculated by using the international benchmarking analysis method The evaluation data used in the report mainly come from authoritative databases at home and abroad, including China Science and Technology Statistics Yearbook jointly issued by the National Bureau of statistics and the Ministry of science and technology, world development indicators issued by the world bank, main science and technology indicators issued by the organization for economic cooperation and development, science and engineering indicators issued by the National Science Foundation of the United States, and world intellectual property rights Patent statistics, yearbook of world competitiveness, report on global competitiveness of world economic forum, UNESCO Institute of statistics, etc (reporter Zhao Yongxin)
