Historical background and the new starting pointstarting point

• 1980s: technology forecasting and the long‐term gy g gtechnology plan.

• Jan 6, 2001: a new starting point for regional technology foresight.

P j t f ‘T h l F i ht f i iti d f– Project of ‘Technology Foresight of prioritized areas for Shanghai Science and Technology Development’ were launched by science and technology committee of Shanghai.

– The first technology foresight was led by a regional t f i l d Chi

Basic reason for the implementation of i l t h l f i htregional technology foresight

• Select the direction of government investment and optimize the main contents of government technology lplan

• Broadly gather strategic wisdom of experts, promote y g g p , poptimal allocation of R & D investment

• Promote the application of innovation tool for scientific• Promote the application of innovation tool for scientific and technological innovation to create good social and cultural atmosphere

Municipality's requirements and expectations of technology foresightexpectations of technology foresight

• Support the technology planning and the annual technology plan of the municipality

– Situation judgment: trend of domestic and foreign technology development and influence on Shanghai.

– Project proposal: priorities of Shanghai’s development.

• Provide a platform for the training of strategic specialists for technological innovation– Experts of natural science and engineering to become experts of 

technology development strategy.

– Administrators of technology innovation to become science policy

Administrators of technology innovation to become science policy counseling experts.

• Support the technological innovation activities of enterprises– In‐depth discussions among industries, universities and research institutes 

on major issues of technological innovation that will affect regional development.

– Provide future development proposals and strategies of technology innovation activities for the enterprises, especially small and medium‐sized enterprises.p

– Provide innovative management application mode through the implementation of specific cases.

• Provide an effective channel for the perception of technology innovation, promote the popularization of science and extension of technologyextension of technology.– Public consultation for technological innovations– Enrich the science content and promote technology applications
