中新网伦敦10月10日电 (记者 欧阳开宇)英国政府9日发布消息称,未来四年将投入10亿英镑专项资金,扶持英国各地创新集群,以此优化产业布局、提振整体经济活力。
该笔资金由英国研究与创新署统筹调配,重点倾斜科研底蕴深厚、产业配套完善、人才资源充足的区域科创集群,核心推动前沿科研成果商业化落地,助力本土科创企业突破规模化发展瓶颈,培育具备国际竞争力的本土产业主体。
此次改革同步推进权限下放,2028年起,英格兰地方市长当局将自主掌管区域创新基金,结合地方产业特色布局科创项目,打破以往创新资源、决策权限高度集中于中央的局面,破解英国长期存在的区域经济发展失衡问题。
同时,英国将依托专项机制推动南北科创走廊联动发展,打通产学研协同通道,吸引社会资本与海外投资入场。
业内认为,在财政承压背景下,资金落地实效与长效配套机制,将成为该计划成败的关键。(完)
