Nearly one third of the provisions encourage enterprise scientific and technological innovation, and the atmosphere of industrial scientific and technological innovation is increasingly strong.
The first is to enhance the independent innovation ability of enterprises. The county finance arranges a fund of 10 million yuan every year (the amount will be adjusted according to the requirements of the higher authorities in the following years), which is specially used to support industrial enterprises above designated size to increase their R&D investment. 5% reward will be given to enterprises that invest more than 1 million yuan in R&D in that year; A reward of 5% will be given to the part of R&D investment accounting for more than 3% of the operating revenue (not exceeding the annual increment of R&D investment) in the current year, and the maximum annual reward amount for a single enterprise is 3 million yuan.
Second, strengthen the construction of scientific and technological innovation platform. Support the newly recognized provincial key enterprise research institutes; The newly recognized provincial enterprise research institute, provincial high-tech enterprise research and development center, and municipal engineering technology research and development center will be given subsidies of 300,000 yuan, 200,000 yuan, and 50,000 yuan respectively. RMB 300000 will be awarded to the first recognized national high-tech enterprises, and RMB 100000 will be awarded to the newly recognized enterprises; A reward of 30000 yuan will be given to newly recognized provincial technology-based SMEs.
Third, we will promote coordinated innovation in science and technology. The enterprise carries out various production, teaching and research cooperation with institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutes. 30% of the actual amount paid by the enterprise in the current year will be awarded, and the maximum amount of annual reward for a single enterprise is 1 million yuan. Enterprises and entrepreneurs are encouraged to use innovation bonds to purchase innovation and entrepreneurship services: the part of annual scientific and technological service expenditure of each unit using scientific and technological innovation bonds that is less than 10000 yuan (including 10000 yuan) can be fully offset, and the part of more than 10000 yuan can be offset by 30% (the amount of annual scientific and technological innovation bonds for each unit is not more than 100000 yuan).
