Innovative Development
As the first of the five concepts for development, innovative development focuses on what drives China's development. As the most critical growth driver, innovation is regarded as a means to propel the country's transition from an input-driven economy to one driven by innovation, and from relying on size and scale to one based on improved quality and increased efficiency, quickly forming the economy and development mode with innovation as the guiding and supporting force. To achieve the goals for innovative development, innovation should be placed at the center of the nation's development strategy, with consistent efforts to push for innovation in all areas, including theories, institutions, science and technology, and culture. Innovation will become an integral part of everything the CPC and the government do, and an idea that is embraced and implemented in all walks of life.
During the 13th Five-year Plan (2016-2020) period, innovation will be used as an important approach to boost growth and reinforce creativity. In order to achieve innovative development, China plans to put in more effort in a number of areas: developing new drivers for growth, expanding space for further development, enhancing the implementation of innovation-driven development strategies, accelerating the process of agricultural modernization, transitioning to a new industrial structure and a new institutional base that facilitate development, and improving ways for macro-economic adjustment.
創新發展
作為“五大發展理念”之首，創新發展注重的是解決中國發展的動力問題。中國把創新作為引領發展的第一動力，期望以此實現從要素驅動轉向創新驅動、從依賴規模擴張轉向提高質量效益，加快形成以創新為主要引領和支撐的經濟體系和發展模式。創新發展的基本要求是，把創新擺在國家發展全局的核心位置，不斷推進理論創新、制度創新、科技創新、文化創新等各方面創新，讓創新貫穿黨和國家一切工作，讓創新在全社會蔚然成風。“十三五”期間，中國將把發展基點放在創新上，增強自主創新能力，并從培育發展新動力、拓展發展新空間、深入實施創新驅動發展戰略、大力推進農業現代化、構建產業新體系、構建發展新體制、創新和完善宏觀調控方式等七個著力點，繪制、實施創新發展的路線圖。
