概念验证中心的建设:美国经验及对中国的启示

Construction of Proof of Concept Center:American Experience and Its Implications for China

在中国经济转向创新驱动的背景下,科技成果转移转化工作为促进科技向生产力和经济发展转变发挥了关键作用。聚焦科技成果转移转化过程的“最初一公里”——概念验证(proof of concept,POC)及概念验证中心(proof of concept center,POCC)建设,通过详细回顾美国在这一领域的发展历程,特别是德什潘德中心和佐治亚理工创业实验室(VentureLab)的案例研究,揭示了POCC在支持早期科技创新和促进商业化方面成功经验及重要作用。美国POCC的运作模式和成功要素为理解如何帮助创业团队评估商业可行性提供了有价值的参考;基于对美国经验的分析,提出了一系列针对中国在POCC建设方面的策略和建议,包括发挥政府引导作用、融合多元主体和强化创新体系、发挥中国特色。这些建议旨在促进科技成果的商业化,加强大学、政府和企业之间的协同创新,从而推动科技创新不断面向国民经济主战场。

In the context of China’s shift to an innovation-driven economy,the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements has played a key role in promoting the transformation of science and technology into productivity and economic development.This paper focuses on the“first kilometer”of the transfer and transformation process of scientific and technological achievements—the construction of proof of concept(POC)and proof of concept center(POCC).Through a detailed review of the development process of the United States in this field,especially the case studies of the Deshpande Center and the Georgia Tech Entrepreneurship Lab,the successful experience and important role of POCC in supporting early technological innovation and promoting commercialization are revealed.POCC operation mode and success factors in the United States provide a valuable reference for understanding how to help entrepreneurial teams evaluate business feasibility.Based on an analysis of American experiences,a series of strategies and suggestions for China in the development of POCC have been proposed.These include leveraging the guiding role of the government,integrating diverse entities,strengthening the innovation system,and capitalizing on China’s unique characteristics.These proposals aim to promote the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements and strengthen collaborative innovation among universities,governments and enterprises,so as to promote scientific and technological innovation to the main battlefield of the national economy.
