"This year's government work report is full of content, high standing, and strong operability. In particular, it is about science and technology innovation and the main role of companies in science and technology innovation. As a representative of a private technology enterprise, I was encouraged to hear it. In an exclusive interview with the Shanghai News reporter, Luqingguo, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Chenguang Biology, said.
After many years of scientific and technological innovation practices, Chenguang Biology has accumulated its own combination of production, study, and innovation models. Science and technology projects have won 2 National science and technology progress awards, more than 100 national invention patents, and 4 foreign PCT patents, etc., and have established a state. Recognized enterprise technology center, key laboratory of the Ministry of Agriculture, etc..
Pepper red pigment production and sales for 10 consecutive years in the world
"More than 50 % of the world's chili red is now sold from Quzhou County, Handan City, Hebei Province, where Chenguang Biology is located. This small county town in southern Hebei, which is dominated by agriculture, has almost no market resources. What should we do without innovation? Without technological innovation, there will be no morning light today. "Luqingguo took the morning light biology as an example and bluntly stated his overall understanding of scientific and technological innovation." Scientific and technological innovation is not immediately visible. It needs to withstand loneliness and withstand torture. "
Twenty years ago, the morning light creatures started with a single product that extracted red pigment from pepper, producing three to four tons per year and earning millions of dollars per year. At that time, enterprises lacked talents, technology, funds, and market channels. Under such weak conditions, Chenguang Biology relied on scientific and technological innovation to achieve development.
"Our chili red pigment production technology, from running and running to leading, is currently at a leading level. Pepper red pigment production and sales have ranked first in the world for 10 consecutive years. The goal of morning light organisms is to make about 10 of the world's top or top plant extracts. "We are preparing to build a world base of natural extract industries in Handan City and make China's plant extract industry a world leader," Luqingguo said. This idea has been strongly supported by Handan City and is now in the process of implementation. "
In the absence of sufficient resources in the area, the morning light creatures go out and use the superior raw material resources of the country and even the world. Chenguang Biology has established planting bases or raw material bases in India and Zambia, and plans to build factories in the United States and Italy.
Today, Chenguang biological products from a single pepper red to plant active ingredients extraction series of four categories of dozens of products, the annual sales revenue of enterprises from more than 1 million yuan to 3 billion yuan.
Building a Platform for Science and Technology to Gather World Professionals
In addition to allocating production resources around the world, Luqingguo also wants to deploy human resources around the world.
"We are planning and creating the highest level R&D center in the world for plant extraction industry, the most authoritative testing center, and the most advanced and complete pilot center. Through the construction of the 'three centers', the commanding heights of the plant extraction industry are created. We also plan to hold an annual international plant extraction workshop to attract domestic and international industry experts to the platform. " said Luqingguo.
According to Luqingguo's thinking, Chenguang Biology will set up a science and innovation platform to provide experts, especially seafood experts, with product R&D, industrialization, and sales services. "We can help experts in the industry all over the world declare patents, apply for science and technology projects, declare science and technology awards, and so on. Try to get these top professionals to concentrate on their research work without having to worry about trivia. "
Relying on the platform of science and innovation, we gather professionals from all over the world. Morning Light Biology wants to make China's plant extract industry a world leader.
Luqingguo personally realized that the current domestic science and technology innovation is facing a rare period of historical opportunity. "China's science and technology talents at this stage are well based, diligent and dedicated, and the cost is relatively low. In addition, China's complete industrial categories are conducive to the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, and governments at all levels of the country also attach great importance to and strongly support. " said Luqingguo.
Recommends that the State support enterprises in setting up pilot centres
An important part of science and technology innovation is the development of new products. In practice, morning-light biology adopts the laboratory economic model to explore the "three-step" new product development model of laboratory, medium trial, and large-scale production. For the products of the process chain length, Chenguang Biology is refined into a "five-step" model of laboratory trials, small middle tests, large middle tests, mass production, and large-scale production on the basis of "three-step" to ensure the success rate of development products.
In the "three-step" and "five-step" process R&D mode, the middle test is the key to transform the R&D results. However, at present, there are some obstacles in China's scientific and technological achievements, and it is easy to form a "jam shell." Luqingguo analyzed: "The conversion rate of China's scientific and technological achievements is not high, and the main problem lies in the lack of pilot conditions. At present, most domestic research institutes do not have the conditions and capabilities for the middle test. Even if there is a middle test workshop, most of them are arranged. The school lacks skilled workers who are familiar with the craftsmanship and operating equipment. Generally, enterprises do not pay attention to these issues. "
The consequence of this is that the lack of research cooperation in the process of production, education and research has caused problems, and even hindered the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements. "The school said that the company's digestion ability is not enough. The company said that the school's results can not be used, and eventually it forms a common phenomenon of mutual resentment. " said Luqingguo.
Luqingguo's investigation found that European and American countries have done relatively well in this area. According to him, some universities in the United States have pilot workshops with different majors. In addition to doing magnification tests for themselves, they also provide paid services to the society.
Luqingguo specifically suggested: "The state should attach importance to the role of the China Pilot Center in the industrialization process of scientific and technological achievements. It should make great efforts to support enterprises to set up a number of high-level Chinese pilot centers to open up the guillotine road for the transformation of production, learning, and research results, and industrialization.
