Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China （CPC） presented the implementation of innovation-driven development strategy，the investment in sci-tech research and development was increased in China，the governments took a series of policy measures，scientific institution intensively developed，and the sci-tech innovation capability was significantly enhanced. Enterprise is the main body and the driver to boost innovation and creation，among which，the state-owned enterprises play an important role in sci-tech innovation. It is of great significance for the implementation of innovation-driven development strategy，and the promotion of high-quality economic development to improve the salary incentive policies for sci-tech talents in the state-owned enterprises. In this report，based on the comparison and study of valueable experience of domestic and foreign advanced scientific institutions and enterprises，it is found that a relaxed research environment，salary strategy supporting the realization of the strategy，market-oriented salary distribution mechanism，competitive salary level，all-sided incentive pattern，scientific and effective incentive and restrictive modes and others are established practices to motivate the sci-tech talents. The salary incentives of sci-tech talents in state-owned enterprises should refer to domestic and foreign advanced experience，further improve the systems and mechanisms，and break the shackles impeding the innovation and creation of sci-tech talents. On the basis of market-oriented distribution mechanism，motivated by the independent innovation capability of state-owned enterprises，more excellent talents would be attracted to root in the state-owned enterprises and concentrate on scientific research.
