选育“算法”让科技成果在产业化之路上“少撞南墙”

Core Viewpoint - The transformation of scientific achievements in the photonics field is actively progressing, with a focus on developing effective pathways for commercialization [1] Group 1: Transformation Algorithms - The term "algorithm" refers to a metaphor for the pathways of transforming scientific achievements rather than mathematical calculations [2] - Zhang Long, director of the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, highlighted that despite nearly 1 trillion yuan in annual research funding, the transformation rate of scientific achievements is below 5% [2] - The successful transformation model involves a "gathering-incubation-investment-transformation" ecosystem, following the logic of "selection-cultivation-marriage" [2] Group 2: Practical Challenges in Photonics Industry - The long-term development of the photonics industry is a systematic project requiring foundational research, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and long-term consensus [3] - Many photonics companies are technology-driven, but there is often a mismatch between technology and market demand in the early stages of entrepreneurship [3] - It is emphasized that technological breakthroughs must align with market needs to achieve successful outcomes [3]
