Only through innovation can we grasp and lead The Times. As the pilot area of "Science and Innovation China" in Zhejiang Province, Keqiao District has produced fruitful results in boosting high-quality economic development with talents, leading innovation, accelerating digital empowerment and enhancing efficiency over the past year. By going deep into the front line of scientific research and innovation, several doctor innovation stations in Keqiao District focus on the highlights of independent innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises in the region, making people feel the pulsation of The Times brought by the Keqiao model of "Scientific Innovation in China".

School-enterprise integration results to transform and improve efficiency

"The doctors in the Doctor innovation station helped us find the national standard medicine that can replace the currently used efficient flocculants through technical research. Through public bidding, the winning price of our flocculants was 30% lower than before, saving the annual cost of more than 20 million yuan. Recently, Shaoxing Keqiao River Waterfront Water treatment Co., Ltd. came the good news: sewage treatment "stuck neck" core elements - flocculant has been cracked, the operating cost of the enterprise has been greatly reduced. The heart disease that has troubled the enterprise for many years has now found a good doctor and got a prescription, which benefited from the construction of the doctor innovation station in Keqiao District.

In early 2022, Shaoxing Keqiao Jiang Waterfront Water Treatment Co., Ltd. established a doctoral innovation station in collaboration with the School of Life Science of Shaoxing University of Arts and Sciences. The doctoral innovation team, led by Dr. Chen Guohe and composed of 7 professionals related to water treatment, aims to improve the stability of sewage treatment and reduce the cost of sewage treatment. Research work is carried out in three directions: exploration and practice of selection optimization of comprehensive wastewater treatment agents, exploration and practice of efficient and economical operation of biochemical system in large-scale comprehensive wastewater treatment plant, exploration and research of efficient ozone oxidation wastewater treatment technology. With the efforts of the doctoral innovation team, many researches have achieved results.

It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him fish. In addition to doing a good job in scientific and technological service consulting and solving technical problems, the doctor innovation station also provides training and guidance for enterprises and institutions technical personnel to improve their scientific research level.

On the afternoon of April 1st, in Zhejiang Yuexin Printing and Dyeing Co., LTD., Dr. Xiang Wei from Textile College of Zhejiang Vocational and Technical College taught the theoretical knowledge of printing and dyeing to the employees. It is understood that this is the enterprise and Zhejiang Industrial Vocational and technical college cooperation set up dyeing and finishing technology dual system college class. In June, the first batch of students to graduate will receive a corresponding certificate and associate's degree. "After the teacher's explanation, we are now more scientific with practical operation." Zhejiang Yue new printing and dyeing plant Minister Ye Lianggui said.

The transformation of scientific and technological achievements is the key to realize innovation-driven development. The establishment of doctoral innovation station just makes up for the gap between innovation chain and industrial chain. Relying on the doctor innovation station, many enterprises and experts of famous universities in Keqiao carry out the "marriage", so that more scientific research results out of the laboratory, and put the scientific and technological achievements into practice. Up to now, the region has 18 doctor innovation stations, including 1 provincial station.

To the hospital to attract talent project landing bloom

In Keqiao, the pace of innovation never stops. Located in the core area of Zhejiang (Shaoxing) innovation cluster for high-end foreign talents, Keqiao Academician Town, with a total area of more than 10,000 square meters, is one of the first "academician home" in Zhejiang province. It covers western restaurants, bars, gym, foreign language book bar and other places, providing a good living environment for high-end talents. All kinds of high-end talents collide here, and one golden idea of scientific innovation comes into reality from here.

Vasily Vasenko and his wife Natalia Stanko, both from Ukraine, are two overseas academicians brought in full-time by the academician town of the whole region. Since the establishment of expert workstations last year, the project they studied has effectively solved the problem of tunnel waterproofing and reinforcement support treatment after tunneling by shield machine in the implementation process of subway shield engineering, filling the innovation gap in this field in the whole region.

Since its establishment, Keqiao Academician Town has been focusing on the development purpose of "focusing on the world, gathering talents widely and based on industry", actively exploring private enterprises as the main body, supporting government preferential policies and attracting talents through market, and striving to build a four-part comprehensive platform of "talent introduction, technology research and development, achievement transfer and logistics support". Through "attracting talents by competition" and "selecting talents by competition", a group of potential doctors and academicians are excavated, and the talent agglomeration effect of Keqiao academician Town is constantly enriched. At the same time, Keqiao Academician Town is based on the "capital + intellectual" cooperation model, and through various "financial and intellectual" docking activities and project roadshows, it establishes an industry-university-research consortium with enterprises as the center. Academicians attract talents and projects drive industries.

Data show that 15 academicians and high-end expert teams from developed countries in Europe and the United States have successfully signed contracts to settle in Keqiao Academician Town. More than 600 foreign talents have visited and more than 30 overseas talents have settled in Keqiao Academician Town.

Up to now, the Maiata Intelligent probiotics testing project of Academician Xu Jianguo of Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Provincial Modern Textile Technology Innovation Center and Jianhu Laboratory of Academician Chen Wenxing of Chinese Academy of Engineering and other projects have taken root in Keqiao. At present, Keqiao District has established cooperation with 24 academicians in the fields of textile printing and dyeing, medical and health care, food and medicine, and new building materials, including 11 overseas academicians. The flowers of innovation are blossoming.

Science and technology enable the activation of endogenous power

As the pilot area of "Science and Innovation China" in Zhejiang Province, Keqiao District focuses on the "1+3" pillar industry of the manufacturing industry. In recent years, Keqiao District has been building and distributing the whole chain innovation ecological system by increasing talent cultivation, promoting the construction of "one and three stations" of academician home, academician workstation, expert workstation and doctoral innovation station, holding high-end academic activities, expanding and strengthening the cooperation between colleges and universities, etc. We will promote high-quality economic and social development in the region.

Talents are the flow password of scientific and technological innovation. In order to increase the cultivation of innovative talents, Keqiao District frequently shows the attitude of eager for talents to the world. In recent years, the District has continuously increased the talent policy, and the dividend of the talent policy should be generated in time. Through a series of measures such as attracting talents through competition, the district attracts talents from all over the world to come to Keqiao for innovation and entrepreneurship, so that these academicians and doctors want to come and stay. For example, it is mentioned in the document Several Policies on Accelerating the Construction of the "Hometown of Famous Scholars" Strong Talent Area in the New Era, which clearly grants a maximum of 1 million yuan to the units listed in the provincial-level academician's home, academician workstation, expert workstation and doctoral innovation station.

"Next, while focusing on the dislocation and integrated development of 'one and three stations', we will strengthen the dynamic management of each platform, guide more high-end intelligence to go down to the front line to help enterprises solve technological problems, and give play to its demonstration, leading and radiation role in scientific and technological innovation." Keqiao District Association for Science and Technology related person said, will continue to optimize, strengthen, refine, truly transform talent advantage into industrial advantage.

Innovation is the primary driving force for development. Keqiao District is taking the opportunity of deepening the construction of Zhejiang provincial pilot zone of "Science and Innovation China", constantly strengthening the platform building, optimizing the service system, allowing more academicians and doctors to come to Keqiao, to inject energy into industrial development with science and innovation, and to make every effort to boost the potential take-off of "International textile capital Hangzhou Shaoxing City".
