欧洲的科技创新力已被中美甩出几条街

据荷兰顾问公司 KPMG 日前公布的一项调查显示，未来二～四年内，中国和美国很可能成为在全球带来“颠覆性技术突破”，进而发挥深远影响力的两个国家。 在这项调查中，近三分之一的受访者(30%)认为中国将成为未来的“全球创新热点”，其次依序为美国(29%)、印度(13%)、日本(8%)和韩国(5%)。英国排名第11，只获得1%的受访者支持。 “越来越多的科技领域高阶主管都相信，科技创新的重心正在往东方移动。虽然直到今天，中国凭借的仍然是破坏性的成本模式，而非颠覆性技术，但事情已经开始转变，”KPMG Europe LLP公司技术部门主管Tudor Aw在一份声明中表示。 该调查还显示，43%的受访者认为，全球的技术创新中心很可能在未四年从硅谷转移到另一个国家。而中国，则被视为最有可能成为下一个创新中心的国家(45%)，其次是印度(21%)，日本与韩国则各获得9%的支持，并列第三。 这项调查是在2012年三月到五月之间，针对668名科技界高阶主管进行访问，其中34%的受访者位在美国；42%受访者位在亚洲；23%位于欧洲、中东和非洲。 调查同时显示，未来四年内将为产业带来巨大影响的技术领域将会是行动装置，获得28%的受访者支持。其余最具影响力的技术分别是云端运算和储存(分别占17%)，以及先进IT和3D技术(分别占13%)。 而妨碍这些技术迈向商业化的关键，首先是安全和隐私管理(30%)，其次是资金和获得资本(24%)，以及技术复杂性(24%)。 该调查同时显示，有39%受访者认为，提供财政方面的奖励，是激励员工创新的最有效做法。 编译： Joy Teng 本文授权编译自EE Times，版权所有，谢绝转载 本文下一页：参考英文原文：China, U.S. lead innovation, Europe nowhere, says survey ，by Peter Clarke

{pagination} China, U.S. lead innovation, Europe nowhere, says survey Peter Clarke LONDON – China and the United States are the two countries most likely to come up with "disruptive technology breakthroughs" with a global impact in the next two to four years, according to a survey conducted by auditor and consultancy KPMG (Amstelveen, Netherlands). Nearly one third of respondents (30 percent) said China will be the future "global hotspot for innovation," followed by the United States with 29 percent, India (13 percent), Japan (8 percent) and Korea (5 percent). The United Kingdom ranks 11th and was named by just 1 percent of respondents. "More and more technology executives believe that when it comes to tech innovation the center of gravity is moving east. Until now China has been better known for its disruptive cost model rather than its disruptive technologies but things are beginning to change," said Tudor Aw, technology sector head for KPMG Europe LLP, in a statement. The survey also showed that 43 percent of respondents said it is likely that the technology innovation center of the world will move from Silicon Valley to another country in the next four years. China was named as the country most likely to be the next innovation centre (45 percent), followed by India (21 percent) and Japan tied with Korea on 9 percent each. The survey was conducted with 668 technology business executives between March 2012 and May 2012 with 34 percent of the respondents based in the Americas, 42 percent in Asia Pacific, and 23 percent in Europe, Middle East and Africa. The survey revealed that the technology sector set to have the biggest business impact in four year's time is likely to be mobile devices named by 28 percent of respondents. Some 17 percent referenced cloud computing and storage and 13 percent advanced IT and 3-D technology. The barriers to commercializing these technologies are thought to be security and privacy governance (30 percent), followed by funding and access to capital (24 percent) and technology complexity (24 percent). Another snippet from the survey was that the respondents considered the top approach to motivating innovation amongst employees was to provide financial incentives (39 percent).
