He who seeks the strength of wood must consolidate its roots. Scientific and technological innovation determines the value height and application breadth of the industry, carries the development hard power of the industry and the future discourse power, and is the foundation of prosperity and prosperity. After years of development, China's textile industry has built a whole industry chain innovation ecology from materials, processes, products to equipment in the deep integration of production, learning, research and use, and achieved a leap from "following, running together" to "following, running together and leading". Most indicators of the industry have reached or even exceeded the world's advanced level, becoming the first echelon of China's manufacturing industry in the array of powerful countries.

Splendid people make a splendid career. Behind the far lead lies the vast number of scientific and technological workers who have a heart for the motherland and the people, work hard and make contributions, and climb the peak bravely. It is their ambition and backbone that build the vitality and foundation of China's textile industry. Today, we solemnly hold the 2023 China Textile Industry Federation Science and Technology Award Conference to commend the scientific and technological workers who have made outstanding contributions to the development of textile science and technology and modernization. Here, on behalf of China Textile Federation, I would like to congratulate all award-winning units and individuals!

The science and technology award system is an important mechanism for exploring innovation, encouraging talents and leading the trend. As the highest science and technology award in the textile industry, the Science and Technology Award of China Textile Federation has always been based on encouraging independent innovation, focusing on the current and long-term, helping the industry break through key technology weaknesses, and looking forward to the future layout of the industry. Since its launch in 2004, 2172 scientific and technological achievements have been awarded, including 66 national science and technology awards, 4 first prizes and 62 second prizes. The awards have played a huge role in promoting the progress of textile science and technology, stimulating talent vitality and creating a good innovation environment.

At present, the new technological revolution is surging and roaring. Materials, products and manufacturing innovation are booming, promoting industrial reengineering and value enhancement; Group breakthroughs in generative AI, robotics and other technologies have spawned new productivity and production relations; From flexible electronics, bioeconomy to big health, the textile industry breeds new fields and new tracks in integration and innovation. Major countries and regions in the world regard scientific and technological innovation as the first project, face the front and seize the first opportunity.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that we should actively adapt to and lead a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial reform, and put the requirements of high-quality development through the whole process of new industrialization. In August this year, the China Textile Industry Federation issued the Action Plan for Building a Modern Textile Industry System (2022-2035), which clearly stated that by 2035, China's textile industry will achieve a high level of self-reliance in science and technology and become the main driver of world textile science and technology. In the future, the scientific and technological innovation work of the industry should promote the development of the industry towards high-end, intelligent, green and integrated direction, face basic problems, emerging fields and future industries, and accelerate the cultivation of new quality productivity of the textile industry.

First, we need to be self reliant and build the leading capacity of industrial innovation. Strengthen forward-looking and strategic layout, focus on the lowest level knowledge and skills such as fiber, process and equipment, gather strength, strengthen research, and effectively solve the problem of sticking key points and leading edge points. Integrating advanced technologies such as synthetic biology and digital technology and future industrial development, layout new industrial tracks and expand new space for development.

Second, we should combine knowledge with practice to improve the transformation ability of industrial innovation. Respect the laws of industry and market, promote the effective connection between scientific and technological achievements and market demand, resolve the problems of achievement transformation, enterprise acquisition, intellectual property transfer and transformation, and let the flower of innovation bear fruit of development. Give full play to China's advantages of large market space, multiple application scenarios and rapid demand upgrading, and promote technology industrialization and large-scale application.

Third, we should learn from each other's strengths and build synergy in industrial innovation. Adhere to open thinking and diversified cooperation, and promote the efficient connection and integration of various innovative resources. Strengthen the dominant position of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation, promote the deep integration of innovation chain, industry chain, capital chain and talent chain, and improve innovation efficiency. We will strengthen international scientific and technological cooperation in an all-round way, make the best use of global innovation resources, and improve our position and energy level in the global innovation landscape.

One word is the standard of the whole article. As an important source and wind vane of scientific and technological innovation in the industry, the Science and Technology Award of China Textile Federation is the key point to do a good job in this big article of innovation and development. We should adhere to the direction of specialization, uniqueness, branding and internationalization, and do a good job in science and technology evaluation and incentive work. Insist on seeing the specialty in deep cultivation, take quality and efficiency as the core, reward scientists and front-line scientific and technological personnel who have truly made creative contributions, and strengthen the academic leadership and purity of awards; Insist on strengthening the characteristics in integration, base on the textile core, conform to the trend of integration and innovation, broaden the source of achievements, guide the industry to seize the first opportunity and extend the boundary; Insist on building brands in pragmatism, strictly control the number of awards, improve the quality of awards, strengthen publicity, and create golden signboards; Adhere to seeking development in opening up, take internationalization as the guidance, guide overseas scientific and technological workers to participate in the review, promote outstanding projects to go global, and enhance the international influence of the Textile Science and Technology Award in the internal introduction and external communication.

If you want to destitute the three thousand boundaries of the earth, you must go up to eight hundred peaks. It is hoped that the award-winning units and individuals, with the heart of serving the country through science and technology and prospering the country through industry, will climb the peak bravely and create new achievements with the courage of keeping pace with the times and making innovations, perseverance and perseverance, so as to inject textile technology into the practice of new industrialization!
