二是做深民间和区域对接合作。双方应深化人文交流，加强科研机构、高校、学术组织等协作。两国间已建立了100多对友好省（州）和城市，合作潜力有待深度挖掘。中国的东北地区懂俄语的人很多，俄罗斯远东地区的民众对中国也很熟悉，把中国的东北振兴、西部开发与俄罗斯的远东开发结合起来，能够有更大的作为。双方可以共建一批联合创新区，中国鼓励中方企业到俄投资兴业，也欢迎俄方企业到中国创业发展。

Second, deepen cooperation between non-governmental institutions and at sub-national levels. We need to strengthen people-to-people exchanges and enhance the collaboration between research institutions, universities and academic organizations. Our two countries have over 100 pairs of sister provinces and cities, the cooperation potential of which is yet to be fully tapped. In northeast China, many people speak Russian, and people in the Far East of Russia are also familiar with China. There is a lot more we could achieve by aligning China’s efforts to revitalize its northeast and develop its west with Russia’s drive to develop its Far East. The two sides may also work together to build joint innovation zones. China encourages its businesses to invest in Russia, and we also welcome Russian enterprises to grow their business in China.

三是做活支持中小企业合作的方式。千千万万科技型中小企业是创新发展的生力军，需要得到更多便利、灵活、可及的支持。双方在投融资、本币结算、中介服务等方面，应重点向他们倾斜，比如设立市场化的风险投资机制、建立技术产权场外交易市场等，为中小企业创新构建“绿色通道”。

Third, explore creative ways to support SME cooperation. The hundreds of thousands of SMEs in science and technology are an important driver for innovation. They need more convenient, flexible and accessible support. We need to better accommodate their needs in investment, financing, local currency settlement and intermediary services. For instance, we could build a “green channel” for SME innovation through the establishment of market-based venture capital systems and over-the-counter markets for technological property rights.

四是做实创新合作的促进机制。机制对加深合作具有持久作用。双方应以此次伙伴国论坛为契机，就政策创新、投资环境等建立对话和协商机制，同时建立企业、社会组织等多层面合作机制，为打造创新合作的新亮点提供更广阔平台。

Fourth, substantiate the mechanisms for facilitating innovation cooperation. Well-established mechanisms can help sustain and deepen cooperation. We should take this forum as an opportunity to put in place dialogue and coordination mechanisms on policy innovation, investment environment and other issues, and establish a multi-tiered cooperation mechanism that involves businesses and social organizations, in order to provide a bigger platform for the cultivation of new highlights in our innovation cooperation.
