西安，11月1日 - 由陕西省人民政府主办的2024硬科技创新大会暨中国机器人大赛在西安国际会展中心开幕。世界知识产权组织副总干事王彬颖发来贺信，由世界知识产权组织中国办事处主任刘华代为宣读。
Xi'an, November 1 - The 2024 Global Key & Core Technology Conference & The China Robotics Competition, hosted by the People's Government of Shaanxi Province, was held at Xi'an International Conference and Exhibition Center. Ms. WANG Binying, Deputy Director General of WIPO, sent a congratulatory letter, which was read by Ms. LIU Hua, Director of the WIPO Office in China.
王彬颖在贺信中指出，尽管全球研发支出、科学出版物和风险投资在过去一年有所下降，但技术进步并未停滞。医疗保健和计算领域的技术进步保持强劲，包括生成式人工智能、基因组测序和量子计算原型等。产权组织提出的数字时代创新浪潮和深层科学创新浪潮持续融合，推动全球创新向前发展。自2019年以来，产权组织已举办九届"知识产权与前沿技术对话会"，吸引了来自172个国家的9000多人参与，共同探讨前沿技术，包括人工智能技术，对知识产权的影响。
Ms. Wang highlighted in her letter that despite the decline in global R&D expenditure, scientific publications, and venture capital investments over the past year, technological progress has not stalled. Technological advancements remain strong in fields such as healthcare and computing, including generative AI, genome sequencing, and quantum computing prototypes. The two innovation waves identified by WIPO - the Digital Age wave and the Deep Science wave - continue to converge, driving global innovation forward. Since 2019, WIPO has held nine sessions of the "Conversation on IP and Frontier Technologies", attracting over 9,000 participants from 172 countries to discuss the impact on IP of frontier technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI).
王彬颖特别赞赏中国在创新领域的杰出表现。在2024年全球创新指数中，中国排名第11位，是前15名中唯一的中等收入经济体。中国拥有26个全球百强科技集群，数量居各国之首，并且掌握全球60%的计算机技术专利、40%的人工智能专利和33%的半导体专利。作为中国西部的创新领跑者，西安连续第二年跻身全球前20大科技集群，位列第18位。
Ms. Wang particularly commended China's outstanding performance in innovation. In the Global Innovation Index 2024, China ranked 11th, remaining the only middle-income economy among the top 15. China hosts 26 of the world's top 100 science and technology clusters, more than any other country. China also holds 60 percent of global computer technology patents, 40 percent of AI patents, and 33 percent of semiconductor patents. As an innovation leader in west China, Xi'an ranked 18th among global science and technology clusters for the second consecutive year.
