The innovation investment system guided by government investment and supported by multiple non-government investment has taken shape in the city. In recent years, Changchun City has made an active effort to get various science and technology resources from the state and the province. In the past three years, the city has successively undertaken 116 National 863 Plan projects and national key science and technology plan projects and received national special funds for science and technology of RMB 160 million. In 2003 alone, the city obtained 448 various science and technology projects from the state and the province and received non reimbursable funds for science and technology of more than RMB 100 million and bank loans of nearly RMB 800 million. There are 95 research projects awarded the national and provincial science and technology progress prizes in the city. The local governments have continuously increased the investment in science and technology and formulated the key science and technology plan, manufacturing informatization construction plan, new star venture plan, agricultural innovation plan, patent support plan and other government-supported science and technology development plans, with a accumulated investment of up to RMB 100 million, supporting nearly 1000 projects. Supported by the government¡¯s science and technology plans, many young people, who dare to innovate, with enthusiasm for business venture, have started a number of new high tech companies such as JU Tianyuan and Zhuoer Information, which are gradually becoming the main force of the high tech industry of Changchun City. A wide rise in the tide of manufacturing informatization has greatly improved the design and management levels in the traditional manufacturing industry. At present, there are up to 100 manufacturing informatization demonstration enterprises in the city. And Cangchun City has selected by the Ministry of Science and Technology as one of the manufacturing informatization demonstration cities. In the city, the patent application amount increases at the rate of about 40% per year, up to 2689 patents in 2003, and has doubled within three years, accounting for 63% of that of the whole province. The venture capital undertakings are healthily growing in the city. The two venture capital companies started not long ago in Changchun City have made an amount of investment and guarantee of up to RMB 170 million, leading enterprises to an additional investment of nearly RMB 500 million in the project. The government investment in science and technology has led to a great increase in R&D investment of whole society, playing an active role in guiding non-government investment in science and technology.
