At the follow-up forum, Shen Kongliang listened to relevant work reports, and affirmed the staged achievements gained by maker spaces. He pointed out that incubator and maker space was the key job of implementing innovation-driven development strategy in our district as well as an important index in national high-tech zone evaluation system. During recent years, our district has positively created a good state for innovation and entrepreneurship, characterized by marketization of innovation services, popularization of entrepreneurship subjects, opening of entrepreneurship resources, and capitalization of venture capital investment. An important novel force is formed to incubate and cultivate scientific and technological enterprises and entrepreneurs. He emphasized that the incubation and cultivation of small and medium-sized scientific and technical enterprises should be deeply developed in the next step, and industry development must be advanced by combining our own advantages. A paradise of “public entrepreneurship and mass innovation” in Binjiang should be created by setting up platforms, establishing brands, optimizing services, strengthening capitals, introducing policies, retaining talents and cultivating culture.
