General

The Nanjing Area of the China (Jiangsu) Pilot Free Trade Zone (hereinafter referred to as the Nanjing Area) recently celebrated its third anniversary. On the occasion of the three-year examination, the Nanjing area handed over the answer sheet that "more than 160 institutional innovation achievements have been formed in total, of which 5 institutional innovation achievements have been replicated and promoted nationwide".

It is understood that institutional innovation is the core of the Nanjing area. Driven by institutional innovation, the level of open cooperation and external influence in the Nanjing area has been further improved. The relevant person in charge of the Nanjing area said that, specifically, the Nanjing area solves the problem of "low points and low surface area" by strengthening integrated innovation; solves the problem of "dare to venture" by strengthening original innovation; solves "characteristics" by strengthening differentiated innovation weak" problem.

It is reported that since the Nanjing area was listed, it has focused on core industries such as integrated circuits, biomedicine, and modern finance, and used integrated institutional innovation to break through the blocking points, taking the biomedical industry as an example. The Nanjing area has identified 24 reform measures in six categories, and strives to initially form a complete industrial chain of "R&D + data + clinical + manufacturing + application" by 2025. At the same time, through subdivided professional modules to create full-cycle services, put into operation "six centers" (Gene Sequencing Center, New Drug Testing Center, Mass Spectrometry Testing and Analysis Center, Biological Sample Center, Big Data Center and Precision Medicine Laboratory), forming a biological A full-chain R&D service system for the pharmaceutical industry.

Not long ago, Nanjing issued the "Several Measures for Supporting the Open, Innovative Development of Biomedical Enterprises in the Nanjing Area of China (Jiangsu) Pilot Free Trade Zone", proposing to establish a pilot list system for biomedical enterprises to facilitate and optimize international trade customs clearance. 18 pilot measures have been introduced in five areas, including quarantine and supervision of inbound biological products. Among them, in promoting pilot enterprises to apply for government-supported biomedical technology projects, 6 of the first 14 pilot enterprises have received support.

The person in charge of Jiangsu Jicui Yaokang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. said that the Nanjing area cooperates with other departments and institutions to establish a sound one-stop service for risk assessment, customs clearance inspection, follow-up supervision and multi-omics technical testing of biomedical special items, so that monoclonal antibodies , protein drugs, small molecule drugs, blood and its products and other biological products import approval time has been shortened, and the company's related experiments can be carried out.

The Nanjing area actively complies with the standard international trade rules, taking it as an important measure to speed up the construction of highland opening up to the outside world. Focusing on the implementation of high-standard international trade rules such as RCEP performance obligations and benchmarking of CPTPP, the Nanjing area carried out special research, and researched and formulated 22 annual key reform and innovation tasks in the fields of investment opening and financial services.

One-click direct connection for certificate processing and one-click knowledge of FTA policy, which is convenient for enterprises to enjoy the bonus of FTA.

The Nanjing area closely adheres to the strategic positioning of "building an independent innovation pilot area with international influence, a modern industrial demonstration area and an important platform for opening up and cooperation", and strives to promote the integration and co-construction of national-level new areas and free trade pilot areas, and strive to create first-class innovation. Ecology, industrial form and open business form. According to the relevant person in charge of the Nanjing area, breakthroughs are mainly made in three aspects.

First, seek breakthroughs in the effective allocation of innovative elements. The Nanjing area has established an innovative subject cultivation system, established 87 new R&D institutions, more than 1,100 incubating technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises, created 4 unicorn enterprises and 64 cultivating unicorn enterprises, and realized the transformation of high-tech enterprises in three years. multiplied. It has innovated the talent evaluation mechanism and promoted the operation of the whole chain of intellectual property rights.

Second, seek breakthroughs in building a modern industry with services. Closely follow the development of advantageous industries and emerging industries, focus on the needs of market players, and explore system integration reforms. Optimized the support of the industrial public service platform.

Third, seek breakthroughs in improving the level of openness and cooperation. Over the past three years, the Nanjing area has issued more than 80 support policies of various types, making every effort to promote openness and cooperation, and improve the level of international trade and investment facilitation. Participated in the construction of the Yangtze River Delta Pilot Free Trade Zone Alliance, and developed in conjunction with the Ninghuai Intelligent Manufacturing Park.

In the next step, the Nanjing area will further leverage the advantages of "double-district superposition", systematically plan to deepen reform measures in the next three years, and continuously improve its self-esteem in promoting high-level institutional opening, creating a modern industrial system with distinctive innovative features, and promoting the development of the digital economy. Trade reform identification, and better help the high-quality development of the province's economy and international trade.
