Within the first week of trial operation, the platform secured contracts worth 5.8 million yuan covering more than 10 projects including AI multimodal technology, traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and special optical fiber, drawing participation from over 30 well-known enterprises with a patent commercialization rate hitting 29.43%. To resolve the two-way bottlenecks hindering the commercialization of scientific research achievements, under the guidance of the Shenzhen Administration for Market Regulation (Intellectual Property Administration) of Guangdong Province, the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT), Chinese Academy of Sciences, pioneered a new business format dubbed the "Achievement Supermarket". Adopting supermarket-style, visual and scenario-based models, SIAT restructured the whole intellectual property transfer and commercialization chain, turning stock patents into industrial momentum. Its replicable and promotable "SIAT Model" for research institute achievement commercialization has been selected as one of the fourth batch of typical cases for building an intellectual property powerhouse.

As a pilot national intellectual property demonstration research institute, SIAT reimagined the display logic for its "Achievement Supermarket". It converts intellectual property assets into visual technology cards with distinctive designs and exclusive QR codes. Scanning the codes grants instant access to core information including technological innovations, application scenarios and research team profiles. By leveraging the familiar supermarket shopping model, research outcomes are placed on "shelves", corporate demands compiled into "shopping lists", and technology matchmaking simplified to a shopping-like experience. The traditional patent database has been upgraded into a commercialized shelf system, delivering an immersive patent selection experience. This effectively breaks down information barriers between research and industry, making patents visible and easy to select.

Meanwhile, SIAT has expanded customized R&D partnerships with central SOEs and leading industrial enterprises. It develops high-quality intellectual property portfolios and patent pools tailored to corporate demands. Large language models are deployed to intelligently parse enterprise needs and match relevant patents, lifting matching efficiency by over 60%. This enables precise alignment between research outputs and industrial demands, shifting the paradigm from "marketing after research" to "research on demand". SIAT also fosters collaborations with local governments, industrial parks and intellectual property service clusters to build an integrated collaborative ecosystem linking government, industry, academia, research institutions, capital and end users. It pools policy support, capital, intellectual property, talent and market resources, forming a multi-tiered, high-efficiency commercialization ecosystem where governments build platforms, research institutes deliver innovations, enterprises put forward demands and capital provides robust backing. This opens up a full-spectrum channel bridging laboratory breakthroughs to mass production lines.

"Over the past five years, SIAT has generated an average of 6.6 patents per day, licensed or transferred 1.3 patents daily, with average daily cooperation revenue reaching 1.44 million yuan and actual received funds hitting 850,000 yuan," a senior SIAT official stated. This model effectively addresses the two core pain points: enterprises struggling to source suitable technologies and researchers struggling to find market outlets. It facilitates in-depth integration of innovation, industrial, capital and talent chains, injecting strong momentum into high-quality industrial development and embodying SIAT’s commitment to advancing China’s intellectual property powerhouse strategy based in Shenzhen.

Leveraging the "Achievement Supermarket", SIAT targets structural conflicts between scientific and technological innovation and outcome commercialization, building a closed-loop ecosystem featuring "demand-driven R&D, capital-fueled commercialization and industrial feedback for further innovation". In 2025, SIAT deepened cooperation with China National Development & Investment Group Co., Ltd. to co-build an intellectual property commercialization platform and supply patient capital for early-stage and small-scale tech ventures. It also partnered with industrial firms to establish enterprise-led, project-driven joint innovation entities. By capitalizing on technological spillovers from SIAT’s intellectual property portfolio, the institute helps enterprises cultivate secondary growth curves in biomanufacturing. Cooperation with China Resources Group delivers a full-chain partnership model covering joint research, shared customized intellectual property, demonstration applications and large-scale promotion. The partnership yields short-term project investment returns, medium-term patent monetization gains and long-term recurring commercialization proceeds, with total cooperation volume exceeding 1.5 billion yuan in 2025.

"Going forward, we will prioritize three key directions: further optimizing display functions, expanding the full-spectrum innovation ecosystem and upgrading comprehensive service capacity to continuously refine the 'Achievement Supermarket' and bolster intellectual property operations," the official added. For optimized display functions, SIAT will develop an online real-time supply-demand matching system and a dynamic intelligent technology matching large model. It will continuously collect corporate technical demands and strengthen pre-development assessments of intellectual property quality and application prospects to support high-value patent creation. To expand the full-spectrum innovation ecosystem, SIAT will take intellectual property as a medium to further integrate innovation, industrial and talent chains and build vertically integrated innovation consortia. To elevate service capacity, SIAT will scale up regional cooperation and nationwide model promotion, acting as a core catalyst for localized achievement commercialization hubs across regions. Centered on intellectual property, it will channel scientific discoveries, pending commercialization technologies and fully transferred innovations into patent-intensive products and patent-intensive industries.
