TEXTILE INDUSTRY TRANSFORMATION: BUILDING SCI-TECH INNOVATION PLATFORMS IN SHAOXING"

Abstract

In the midst of China's transformative socio-economic landscape, science and technology innovation have surged in importance. The strategic allocation and effective utilization of knowledge, talent, and scientific resources are now pivotal to national progress. "The Key Points for Constructing Zhejiang as a Powerful Sci-tech Province in 2022" emphasizes the cultivation of major innovation platforms and the establishment of top-tier strategic science and technology hubs. These innovation platforms drive the efficient allocation and comprehensive utilization of scientific resources, enhance the conditions for technological innovation, and fortify independent innovation capabilities. The enterprise-centric science and technology innovation platform emerges as a vital element within this context, uniting government bodies, higher education institutions, research centers, production firms, financial institutions, and intermediary entities.

This enterprise-led platform has a dual focus: bolstering the innovation prowess of universities and research institutes while addressing critical scientific and technological challenges in national economic development. It amplifies the competitive edge for undertaking major national initiatives and promotes high-level international collaboration. This platform also fosters discipline optimization and convergence, propelling significant scientific and technological accomplishments and world-class disciplines.

However, not all enterprises realize the anticipated results from their investments in science and technology innovation platforms. This study investigates enterprise science and technology innovation platforms, analyzing organizational structures, operational modes, effectiveness evaluations, and challenges. It aims to provide valuable insights for textile enterprises and those in other industries seeking to establish science and technology innovation platforms
