Strategy to share breakthroughs needed

    Over 20 years of development, Haidian Science Park authorities have built up the Haidian Forum, a platform which combines exhibition and forums, facilitates technology transfer and helps meet companies' demands. It is in cooperation with the Zhongguancun Forum for six straight years.

    The event has attracted worldrenowned experts from enterprises, research institutes, and trade associations to exchange views on technology, education and finance.

Globalization has become an important trend in technology development, said Jin Xiaoming, director at the international cooperation department of the Ministry of Science and Technology, in a keynote address to the seminar.

    "With increased international, cross-region exchange in technology, it is more common to see the flow of technological resources and researchers globally," Jin said, noting that the worldwide R&D dimension is going wider and deeper.

    The nation is already investing heavily in funding international technological cooperation, he said, with 1.15 billion yuan ($183.8 million) spent last year, up from 27 million yuan just two years before. In the 11th Five-Year Plan period (2005-2010), more than 1,000 programs received government funding.
