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.
