  Academicians and experts offer suggestions and suggestions around talent construction.

  "At present, the construction of a modern new Chongqing is in a critical period, which requires the active participation of talents and strong intellectual support." Yuan Jiajun, secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee, said in his speech at the opening ceremony, "We have vigorously implemented the strategy of scientific and technological innovation and strengthening the city with talents, cultivated and introduced all kinds of talents in an all-round way, and accelerated the construction of the western talent center and innovative highland."

  Up to now, Chongqing’s total talent resources exceed 6.3 million people, and its talent density ranks first in the west. There are 105 national science and technology innovation platforms, and 69 disciplines have entered the top 1% of ESI (Basic Scientific Indicators Database) in the world.

  What kind of talents are needed in the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and how to cultivate and gather talents?

  "The major technological infrastructure is ‘ The heavy weapon of the country ’ It has the unique advantages of cultivating, condensing talents and promoting international scientific and technological cooperation. " Bai Chunli, an academician of the China Academy of Sciences, said that he made a statistic and found that 30 of the Nobel Prize in Physics since 1951 were obviously related to major scientific and technological infrastructure, accounting for 48% of the prize-winning proportion. The major scientific and technological infrastructure is also an important platform for international scientific and technological cooperation and the implementation of international science plans. At present, China is in a critical period of accelerating the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and building a world-class scientific and technological power, and talents are the first resource.

  Bai Chunli said: "We must give full play to the unique role of the cradle of major scientific and technological infrastructure talents, so that these high-level scientific research platforms can continuously feed back the cultivation of talents and continuously improve the independent training ability of basic research talents."

  "Since the reform and opening up, the overall development trend and scale of talents in China are very good. The problem we are facing now is that there are many general talents and many strong talents, but the more we go up, the less top talents there are. " Shi Yigong, academician of China Academy of Sciences and president of West Lake University, put forward three suggestions on how to maintain the leading position of top talents. The first is long-term trust and stable support; Secondly, attach importance to young talents and support young people; Third, open cooperation, diversification will bring innovation drive.

  "I chose to join Changan Automobile because Changan Automobile has strong scientific and technological innovation. I chose to come to Chongqing Liangjiang New District because it has a solid industrial base, a vast market space and a high degree of openness. " Klaus Chijola, vice president of Chongqing Changan Automobile Company, mentioned the reason why he became attached to Chongqing in his keynote speech. He introduced that with the increasing globalization trend, Changan Design Center, as an important part of Changan Automobile, has formed an international professional layout. At the same time, Changan Automobile continuously integrates excellent human resources, promotes excellent product design, and strives to build a new global strategic partnership.

  Promote the talent chain and empower the industrial chain.

  This year, Chongqing proposed to build the strategic layout of "416" scientific and technological innovation and the construction of "33618" modern manufacturing cluster system, closely following the layout of talent chains in key industrial chains, and Chongqing played a "combination boxing" to attract outstanding talents to innovate and start businesses in Chongqing.

  At the opening ceremony, Chongqing’s scientific and technological research project "Revealing the List" was released, with a total of 28 projects covering intelligent networked new energy vehicles, advanced materials, intelligent equipment and other fields, with a list amount of 221 million yuan. Highlight the needs of the industry and the ability of innovation, and set up a high-level research team by giving play to the role of leading talents as "head geese" to concentrate on collaborative research.

  "Chongqing’s good talent base and scientific research advantages are important reasons for attracting our team to participate in this competition." Liang Feng, the winner of the "Xingyu Cup" International Innovation and Entrepreneurship Project Competition, "Research and Development of Multi-gene Combination Therapy for Anti-tumor and Anti-vaccine Based on MRNA Platform", said that he was going to set the research and development and manufacturing center of anti-tumor vaccine project in Chongqing. In this competition, a total of 1,369 outstanding talents competed with innovative and entrepreneurial projects, and 1,069 household units launched 19,000 positions to attract talents.

  At the closing ceremony, talents and projects were introduced for centralized signing cooperation. Of the 2,954 talents introduced by this year’s conference, 1,637 were involved in the "33,618" modern manufacturing cluster system, accounting for 55.42%; Among the 206 imported projects, the top three imported projects are manufacturing, information transmission, software and information technology services, scientific research and technical services.

  This time, a series of policies, such as the digital platform for talent work in Chongqing, the new Chongqing talent loan and the new Chongqing talent insurance, were released to facilitate the development of talents.

  In the next step, Chongqing will further implement the strategy of scientific and technological innovation and strengthening the city with talents, improve the overall intelligence, talent concentration, strategic support, policy competitiveness and ecological conservation in an all-round way, and build a platform and create opportunities for all kinds of talents.
