中国高铁的集成创新为何能够成功

Why Can China's High-speed Rail Integrated Innovation Be Successful?

中国从上世纪90年代下半期开始自主研发以中华之星为代表的高速列车,并在短短的12年里走过从吸收消化再创新,系统集成创新到原始创新的道路。改革开放以来中国有很多产业实施市场换技术的战略,为什么只有高铁取得了突出的成绩?这不仅是技术攻关,更是一次资源分配和制度创新,特别是以项目为契机,充分发挥政策的导向和指引作用,大力促进产学研深度融合,注重科研院校在重大项目立项、论证、攻关等核心环节的作用,这些经验都对其它重大项目攻关有着重大的借鉴作用。

China has started to develop high-speed trains （China Star） independently since the late 1990s, and in only 12 years it has successfully followed a road of innovation by learning from others, system integrated innovation, and finally, original innovation. Since the reform and opening up, the market-for-technology strategy has been adopted in many Chinese industries, but why does the high-speed rail industry achieve great results only？ This is not only due to technological breakthroughs, but more importantly, due to resource allocation and institutional innovation in that the government takes the projects as an opportunity, gives full play to the guiding role of policies, vigorously promotes the intimate integration of enterprises, universities, and research institutes, and pays attention to the role of universities and research institutes in the core links such as major projects application, demonstration and problem-solving, these experiences are of great reference value to other major projects.
