Development of brain-inspired intelligence industry in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area
As an emerging frontier field of brain science,the brain-inspired intelligence has been developed rapidly during recent years,leading to the preliminary formation of the brain-inspired intelligence industry,which belongs to the strategic high-end manufacturing industry and has broad development prospects in the era of intelligence.In the future,there will be a huge demand for the brain-inspired intelligence technology and its industry in various fields in China.The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is actively planning the research and development of the brain-inspired intelligence technologies and cultivating the related industries by implementing major research programs and establishing new professional institutes for the brain-inspired intelligence.Currently,the brain-inspired intelligence industry chain in the Greater Bay Area has been preliminarily established.There are many research talents gathering in this area,and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements has been carried out.Moreover,the supporting policies such as intellectual property protection and financial services for scientific and technological innovation have been introduced.However,there are still many issues required to be improved,such as some weak links in the industry chain and the supply chain,the need to expand application scenarios,and the shortage of high-level talents for the industrial technology transformation.In the end,five suggestions are proposed:1)To strengthen the basic research on brain cognition and brain-inspired intelligence,and closely link it with industry demands;2)To improve the brain-inspired intelligence industry chain,focusing on IC fabrication,packaging and testing;3)To develop the supply chain of the brain-inspired intelligence industry and upgrade the equipment manufacturing industry;4)To introduce and cultivate high-level industrial talents by the cooperation among Guangdong,Hong Kong and Macao;5)To strengthen the international cooperation through various means.
