科研热土再添翼！长沙新晋866家研发机构

The number of research and development institutions in Changsha, Hunan province, has increased by 866 since September last year, and the city has 7,842 high-tech enterprises, according to a summit held from Sunday to Monday.

9月8日至9日举行的2024互联网岳麓峰会上公布数据，长沙市自去年9月以来，新增研发机构866家，目前高新技术企业达7842家。

The increase comes after the city set the goal of building itself into a global center for research and development last year.

这份增长得益于长沙市一年前所提出的全球研发中心城市建设。

The city's overall investment in research and development is expected to reach 50 billion yuan ($7 billion), officials and experts said at the 2024 Internet Yuelu Summit.

有关人员及专家在峰会上透露，长沙市全社会研发投入预计达500亿元。

The city has made breakthroughs on 114 key and core technologies in the past year, which have resulted in contract deals worth 135.4 billion yuan, they said.

一年来，长沙市攻克关键核心技术114项，新增技术成交额达1354亿元。

Changsha rolled out 10 new policies to attract talent as part of the initiative. In the last year, 670 national and provincial workers trained in technology have come to work in the city. The number of foreign experts also increased by 14 percent year-on-year, they said.

长沙为此还出台了全球研发中心城市人才政策“十条”。过去的一年里，长沙新增国家、省级科技人才670人，在长外国专家同比增长14%。

Hunan's digital economy reached 1.7 trillion yuan last year, accounting for 34 percent of the province's overall GDP, marking the sixth straight year of double-digit growth.

2023年，湖南省数字经济总量突破1.7万亿元，占全省GDP比重达34%，连续6年保持两位数增长。

More than 1,000 people, including senior government officials and leading entrepreneurs, attended the summit.

据悉，本次峰会吸引了1000多位高级政府官员和知名企业家出席。
