Abstract
The "Numerical Control (NC) Generation Innovation Project" aims to apply NC technology to the mechanical products of all industries to update and upgrade the overall installed base of manufacturing equipment, thus promoting upgrading of the industrial base. This paper takes the update and upgrade of NC equipment in Quanzhou city as a case study. Focusing on practical experience with the NC Generation Innovation Project within the framework of innovation governance, it discusses a new generation of "organized innovation" generated by the collaboration of multiple innovation participants. Through analysis and on the basis of strong demand pull from the user market and effective technology push from R&D agencies, the NC Generation Innovation Project, by playing a "skillful deflection" role, has enabled the government to kick-start extensive market resource investment with a small amount of policy resources, to mobilize the enthusiasm of multiple innovation participants such as enterprises, R&D institutions, intermediaries, and financial institutions and to organize many manufacturing enterprises in different industries. Using the principles of the market economy, these enterprises overcame all kinds of obstacles, actively accepting key generic technology. The result is a successful example of promoting generic technology diffusion in manufacturing industries. At the same time, this project has found existing insufficiencies in the course of summarizing the existing successful experience and has provided a decision-making basis for advancing of a broad-based manufacturing industry upgrade.
