Businesses are to be more involved in scientific research thanks to changes sweeping through national science policy.

The changes will see science policy focus more on agriculture and public welfare, as well as paying more attention to basic research, a top science official said yesterday.

"The macro-administrative reform which marked last year will continue," Minister of Science and Technology Xu Guanhua told a national science and technology working conference.

Agriculture, energy, the environment and health will take up 50 percent of the research and development (R&D) budget in the 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-10) 20 percent more than the previous plan, he said.

Industry's share will decrease from 70 to 50 percent.
