On Sept. 3 the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission
(SASAC) convened central enterprises' industry common-technology research
institutes and set implementation priorities. SASAC urged institutes to clarify
functional positioning from national and industry perspectives, reinforcing their
public-good role and define targeted R&D directions. It instructed precise
technology planning that prioritizes industry development, market demand and
frontier technologies, stresses applied basic-research breakthroughs and
delivery of demonstration projects, and accelerates tech iteration via industry
application scenarios. SASAC also required measurable value targets for tech
outputs and leader-talent development, directing institutes to leverage senior
experts and academicians while emphasizing young-talent cultivation to earn
industry recognition.
