During the 13th Five Year Plan period, under the correct leadership of the municipal Party committee and the municipal government, our city adhered to the innovation driven development strategy and established a scientific and technological innovation system with enterprises as the main body, market-oriented and the combination of government, industry, University and research. In 2020, covid-19's risk and challenge brought about a steady growth in R & D investment.

The total volume continued to grow and the growth rate increased steadily. Since the 13th five year plan, the annual increment of the city's internal expenditure of R & D funds (Research and experimental development funds) has increased year by year. In 2020, the city's annual R & D internal expenditure exceeded 2 billion yuan for the first time, reaching 2.63 billion yuan, an increase of 650 million yuan on the basis of 310 million yuan in 2019. Among the city's R & D internal expenditure, the growth rate of 43% in 2018 is the highest annual growth rate during the 13th Five Year Plan period.

R & D investment increased and the intensity doubled. During the 13th Five Year Plan period, the R & D investment of our city increased year by year from 750 million yuan in 2015 to 2.63 billion yuan in 2020, with an average annual growth rate of 380 million yuan and an average annual growth rate of 28.5%; The investment intensity of R & D funds has increased year by year from 0.6% in 2015 to 1.81% in 2020, with an average annual increase of 0.24 percentage points. The city's R & D investment has increased steadily. From the overall situation of the city's R & D investment in 2020, innovation driven development has achieved positive results, and the investment has been significantly increased.

The basic application is improved and the structure tends to be reasonable. According to the analysis of the proportion of internal expenditure of R & D funds, it is found that during the 13th Five Year Plan period, the proportion of expenditure of experimental development part has been decreasing from 90.7% in 2015 to 46.3% in 2020, while the proportion of expenditure of applied research part has been increasing. The proportion of R & D internal expenditure used for applied research has increased year by year from 8.7% in 2015 to 52.5% in 2020, exceeding the expenditure of experimental development for the first time, indicating that the city has increased its investment in the transformation of scientific research achievements and paid more attention to the transformation and application of scientific research achievements. The proportion of expenditure for basic research is small, but it also shows an increasing trend. Especially in 2020, the expenditure for basic research will reach 31.7 million yuan, 27 times that of 2019. It can be found that under the background of increasing R & D investment in the city, the expenditure for basic research will continue to grow, and the cost structure for various research expenditures will continue to be optimized.
