Recently, Wuhan issued the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Cultivation of R&D Enterprises and Promoting the Industrialization of R&D in Wuhan (2025-2027)", which promotes the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, strengthens the main position of enterprise innovation, and provides support for the construction of a nationally influential science and technology innovation center in Wuhan.
The plan specifies specific work objectives until 2027. In terms of R&D service foundation,Plan to build 30 city level concept validation centers and 200 pilot platformsThe team of technical managers has exceeded 5000 people. In terms of expanding the main body of the enterprise, the goal isThere are over 1200 municipal level enterprise R&D centers, over 300 R&D oriented enterprises, and over 30 foreign-funded R&D centersAnd form 3 to 5 R&D industry clusters in key industries such as optoelectronic information, big health, and biotechnology.
To achieve these goals, the plan has deployed a series of specific measures. In guiding enterprises to increase their R&D investment, the "Nursery Plan" for start-up technology enterprises, the "Gazelle Plan" for backbone high-tech enterprises, and the "Leading Plan" for leading enterprises will be implemented, providing varying amounts of R&D funding subsidies and rewards to enterprises at different stages of development. among which,Supporting the establishment of industrial innovation joint laboratories led by enterprises can receive annual funding support of 20 million yuan at the municipal level for three consecutive years; Major municipal science and technology projects led by enterprises can receive up to 20 million yuan in support for a single project.
The plan will focus on vigorously cultivating and expanding the scale of research-oriented enterprises. We plan to establish a research and development enterprise information database and evaluation system, and set up an innovation special project to provide up to 1 million yuan in research and development funding support. Encourage enterprises to register their internal R&D institutions as independent legal entities, and the district where they are located can provide up to 5 million yuan in annual support based on their R&D investment increment. At the same time, actively guide industry leaders and Fortune 500 companies to establish research and development institutions or headquarters in Hanbu Bureau, and promote the creation of R&D oriented enterprise clusters in advantageous industries in various districts.
To strengthen the R&D support services for enterprises, the plan proposes to deepen school enterprise cooperation, support the co construction of innovation platforms, and reward enterprises for purchasing scientific and technological achievements according to a certain proportion of transaction volume, with a maximum of 1 million yuan per enterprise per year. We will accelerate the construction of concept validation centers in cutting-edge fields such as quantum technology and future displays, optimize the layout of pilot platforms in advanced semiconductors, genetic diagnostics, and other sub fields, and stimulate the vitality of new research and development institutions such as Wuhan Industrial Innovation and Development Research Institute.
The plan specifically strengthens the attraction and education work of foreign-funded research and development centers.Encourage foreign-funded enterprises in Han to establish research and development centers and strengthen cooperationProvide tax incentives for qualified foreign-funded research and development centers to import scientific research supplies, and support their application for high-tech enterprise recognition. In addition, convenient cross-border financial services will be provided for foreign-funded research and development centers and their employees.
In terms of optimizing the development ecosystem, the plan covers multi-dimensional guarantees such as talent, finance, application scenarios, and intellectual property. We will support research and development enterprises to gather innovative talents at all levels and provide corresponding living convenience; Guide financial institutions to innovate technology financial products, leverage government funds, and establish a normalized investment and financing docking mechanism; Promote government departments and state-owned enterprises to open up application scenarios, support the first set of innovative product applications, and provide up to 10 million yuan in support based on merit; At the same time, we will strengthen intellectual property protection and provide rapid pre examination, confirmation, and rights protection services.
The plan points out that if the current policies at the municipal level are inconsistent with this, they shall be implemented according to this plan, and encourages each district to formulate more targeted support policies according to local conditions.
