Again the present social background of high interconnection, the STEC original internal innovation pattern of self-building, self-research and self-possessing can't meet the constantly changing innovation requirements any more. To supplement innovation resources and improve innovation efficiency, STEC starts to explore the building and operation of Central Institute & STEC Crowd Innovation Space, an open innovation and business platform.
As one of the core departments of STEC innovation and startups, the STEC Central Institute integrates a number of services including core technology research, building and operation of STEC Crowd Innovation Space, an open innovation and business platform, the incubation and investment of startups, associations, etc. By strict accordance with the overall development strategy of innovation and transformation of STEC, the STEC Central Institute will gather new technologies, new patterns, and new industry trends, so as to provide power to technology upgrading of core fields, technology storage of emerging business, planning and designing of mixed ownership, the incubation and investment of innovation and investment projects. Meanwhile, by Crowd Innovation Space, STEC will interconnect social cross-industry resources including technology, capital, creativity, startups, etc., so as to support people engaged in innovation and startups in all aspects, whether the people is of our group or not.
In the future, every staff of STEC or every partner is possible to participate in the innovation and startups. As long as our staff or partner has ideas, partners, abilities, and passion, with the support of STEC and by making use of the integrated startups projects and investors, he/she will be leader of technological innovation or header of startups.
Ma Xingfa, Deputy Director of Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality, made a speech on the ceremony. He said Shanghai is an important place full of state-owned enterprises. The subjects of innovation of science and technology are enterprises, and it is very important for Shanghai Technology Innovation Center to make the state-owned enterprises take advantages of their industrial resources to integrate social innovation resources and hasten the innovation and transformation of state-owned enterprises. We are glad to see that STEC has actively explored the building of innovation and startups platform. We hereby hope STEC Central Institute & STEC Crowd Innovation Space, with open attitude and vision of market, will integrate domestic and overseas innovation resources, lead the development of core technology of the industry, incubate innovation and startups projects, and build new engine of constructing smart cities.
