In 2026, the national industrial and information technology innovation and industrial innovation integration development symposium was held in Suzhou.

From April 2nd to 3rd, the National Symposium on the Integration and Development of Industrial and Information Technology Innovation and Industrial Innovation was held in Suzhou. The meeting emphasized the need to further promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, strengthen the leading position of enterprises in innovation, vigorously cultivate technology-leading and innovative high-tech enterprises, deploy a group of enterprises to lead key projects in national key research and development programs, guide various innovative resources to converge towards enterprises, and drive the industry towards frontier and high-end fields. It is important to focus on the collaborative research and development of the entire industry chain, accelerate the establishment of a collaborative mechanism for "demand-driven, task coordination, and results sharing", make good use of innovation forms such as "unveiling" and "competition", focus on key links in the industry chain, accurately allocate innovative resources, and create the greatest synergistic effects. The passage to industrialize scientific and technological achievements should be smooth, using "scenario attraction" as an important leverage, strengthening the intermediary links between "science and technology- industry", accelerating the expansion and improvement of technology services, allowing all types of innovation entities to "have the ability to turn", "have the right to turn", "be willing to turn", and "turn smoothly". It is necessary to adhere to both "establishing new" and "improving old", providing support for both incremental improvements and shaping new advantages in areas such as humanoid robots and quantum information, as well as optimizing and upgrading existing stocks, exploiting the potential of traditional industries through technological empowerment. It is important to cultivate an innovation-friendly ecosystem, improve the layout of various innovation carriers such as manufacturing innovation centers, pilot platforms, and high-tech zones, forming a carrier matrix for efficient collaboration and precise service for industrial development; construct a differentiated policy guarantee system to ensure dynamic matching between policy supply and actual industrial needs. It is necessary to establish a "top-down" collaborative linkage mechanism, further strengthen coordination, establish a normalized communication and coordination mechanism, ensure that central planning and deployment are accurately implemented at the local level, and ensure that local innovation practices promptly evolve into institutional achievements, enhancing the effectiveness of integrated development through two-way interaction.
