Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the critical transformation point for China's scientific instrument industry by 2025, driven by a series of supportive policies from both central and local governments, aiming to enhance innovation capabilities and upgrade the industry towards high-tech and high-value-added sectors [2][15]. Policy Comparison - A comprehensive comparison of policies from Beijing, Shanghai, Haidian, and Huairou reveals a unified focus on enhancing independent innovation capabilities, with specific goals around core technology breakthroughs, industry ecosystem construction, and nurturing leading enterprises [3][4]. - The policies from city-level authorities focus on top-level design and strategic direction, while district-level policies emphasize precise implementation and local resource advantages, creating a "city-level direction, district-level execution" logic [5][11]. Shanghai vs. Beijing - Both Shanghai and Beijing's action plans target independent innovation and industry upgrades from 2025 to 2027, aiming for significant breakthroughs within three years [6]. - Shanghai's policy emphasizes the integration of scientific instruments and research reagents, while Beijing focuses on optimizing the compatibility of reagents and instruments [8][10]. - In AI+ instruments, Shanghai highlights digital technology integration, whereas Beijing stresses the automation and intelligent upgrades of scientific instruments through AI [8][10]. Haidian vs. Huairou - Haidian's policy is strategic, focusing on the entire high-end scientific instrument industry chain, while Huairou's policy is more detailed, addressing specific implementation measures [11][12]. - Both districts encourage participation in standard-setting, but Haidian specifically aims to develop international standards for high-end scientific instruments [12][13]. Industry Development Goals - The policies collectively aim to enhance technology and product R&D capabilities, foster leading enterprises, and improve the overall industry ecosystem [4][13]. - The focus on key areas includes life sciences, material sciences, and industrial applications, with an emphasis on building a robust innovation ecosystem [12][14]. Conclusion - The article concludes that the convergence of policies and market demands is creating a strong momentum for the scientific instrument industry in China, marking a transition from "following" to "leading" in global markets by 2025 [15].
