1978年,全国科学大会召开,邓小平同志在讲话中提出“四个现代化,关键是科学技术的现代化”、“科学技术是生产力”、“知识分子是工人阶级的一部分”等重要论断。在随后的十余年间,广东科技的发展道路是明确的,那就是直面自身力量的不足,借助地缘优势,制定了一条符合广东实际的科技进步方针:以引进国内外先进实用技术为主,与自主研发相结合,同时深化科技体制改革,形成科技与经济结合的机制,将广东主要的科技力量推上振兴广东经济建设的“主战场”。 In 1978, the National Science Conference was held. In his speech, Comrade Deng Xiaoping proposed that “the four modernizations are the key to the modernization of science and technology.” “Science and technology are productive forces.” “Intellectuals are part of the working class.” Important assertion. In the following ten years, the road of Guangdong's science and technology development was clear. That was to face the shortcomings of its own strength. With the help of geographical advantages, a principle of scientific and technological progress in line with Guangdong's actual conditions was formulated: the introduction of advanced practical technologies at home and abroad, Combined with independent research and development, deepen the reform of the scientific and technological system, form a mechanism combining science and technology with the economy, and push the major scientific and technological forces in Guangdong onto the “main battlefield” for the revitalization of Guangdong's economic construction.
