区域研究·深度报告：长三角系列研究（二）-区域创新协同与合作：以G60科创走廊为例

Core Viewpoints - The report highlights the importance of innovation-driven and cross-regional collaboration, particularly in the context of the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor in the Yangtze River Delta region [1][10] - The G60 Corridor is positioned as a national strategic platform, aiming to become an internationally influential innovation hub and a key source of innovation in China [11] - The corridor has achieved significant progress in innovation and industrial development, with notable increases in R&D investment, high-tech enterprises, and contributions to national economic indicators [16] Construction Background - The G60 Corridor has evolved from grassroots practices to a national strategic platform, covering nine cities along the G60 Expressway and high-speed rail lines [11] - The corridor's development is supported by policies that emphasize institutional innovation in education, technology, talent, and cross-regional collaboration [14] - Each city within the corridor has distinct policy focuses, such as Shanghai's emphasis on basic research and international openness, while Suzhou focuses on industrial innovation [14] Development Achievements - The nine cities in the G60 Corridor have significantly improved their innovation capabilities, with R&D investment increasing by 83% from 2018 to 2022, and the number of high-tech enterprises growing from 10,000 to over 50,000 [16] - The corridor contributes 1/5 of China's科创板 enterprises, 1/6 of national science and technology awards, and 1/9 of PCT international patent applications, despite accounting for only 1/24 of the population and 1/120 of the land area [16] - The innovation landscape is characterized by a gradient and differentiated system, with Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Hefei as core cities, while other cities focus on leveraging external resources to drive local innovation and industrial development [18] Innovation Collaboration and Cooperation - The report identifies four effective collaboration paths: industrial chain cooperation, shared innovation platforms, establishment of innovation hubs, and promotion of innovation element circulation [1][34] - Industrial chain cooperation involves leveraging leading enterprises, creating industrial alliances, and establishing demonstration zones to promote cross-regional collaboration [35] - Shared innovation platforms include large-scale scientific facilities and concept validation centers, which facilitate collaboration between government, industry, academia, and research institutions [40] - The establishment of innovation hubs, or "reverse flyover" models, allows less developed regions to tap into the innovation resources of more developed areas, particularly in Shanghai [42] - The promotion of innovation element circulation focuses on the free flow of talent, technology, and capital across regions, with initiatives such as cross-regional financial products and shared data platforms [46]
