Recently, the General Office of the Anhui Provincial People's Government officially issued the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for Scientific and Technological Innovation in Anhui Province" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), which clarified the key directions, major tasks and important measures for the high-quality development of scientific and technological innovation in Anhui Province during the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period, and made systematic planning and overall deployment of scientific and technological innovation work in our province at present and in the future.

"Plan" pointed out that our province will build a high-level innovative province as the goal, to strengthen the scientific and technological innovation policy source capacity as the main line, to improve basic research ability and breakthrough key core technology as the main direction, to independent innovation and open coordination of the two-wheel drive, to deepen the reform of scientific and technological systems and mechanisms as the fundamental driving force, Accelerate the development of a system of scientific and technological innovation and a system for the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements, promote the building of a scientific and technological innovation community in the Yangtze River Delta, strive to make key technological breakthroughs in quantum information, nuclear fusion, integrated circuits, life and health, and support the realization of the target of carbon peak carbon neutrality on schedule. To help build a modern and beautiful Anhui with a strong economy, a new pattern, an excellent environment, sufficient vitality and rich people.

The Plan consists of eight chapters and thirty-one sections, which expounds the development situation of science and technology innovation in our province in the 13th Five-Year Plan, the guiding ideology, basic principles and main objectives of science and technology innovation in the 14th Five-Year Plan; It has clarified the ideas, implementation paths, key measures, and organizational and safeguard measures for the implementation of the work plan in building a high-level scientific and technological innovation platform, improving the capacity of basic research sources, fighting hard battles in key core technologies, improving the ecological efficiency of multi-chain collaborative innovation, building new heights of scientific and technological opening and cooperation, and promoting the reform of scientific and technological innovation governance.

The Plan proposes that by 2025, the province's scientific and technological innovation research force system and the transformation and application system of scientific and technological achievements are basically formed, the research and experimental development (R&D) expenditure accounts for about 2.8% of GDP, the added value of high-tech industry strives to increase by more than 12% per year, and there are more than 17,000 high-tech enterprises. The R&D expenditure of industrial enterprises above designated size accounted for about 1.6% of their operating income, and a number of world-class emerging industrial clusters were formed. The regional innovation capacity remains the first square array in the country and strives to take the lead, and has initially built a national source of scientific and technological innovation and an innovative province with important influence. By 2035, the province's scientific and technological innovation research force system will be more mature and complete, key core technology research will achieve major breakthroughs, and it will be built into a high-level science and technology province and an innovative province, and a source of scientific and technological innovation with important influence.
