Guiding small and medium-sized enterprises to accelerate the transformation to specialization, precision, specialty and innovation is the key measure for Ningbo manufacturing industry to accelerate its development towards high quality. On June 23rd, in the training and upgrading class of specialized and innovative enterprises, the vision goal of Ningbo specialized and innovative enterprises training was announced: strive to reach 1,000 specialized and innovative “little giant” enterprises by the end of 2025.
As early as 2018, the relevant state departments started the cultivation of “little giant” enterprises with specialization and novelty, and proposed to guide enterprises to transform into specialization, precision, specialty and novelty. After two years of cultivation, 55 state-level “little giant” enterprises have emerged in Ningbo. Last year, Ningbo was one of the 50 newly-established “Little Giant” enterprises, ranking fourth among the cities in China, second only to Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing.
“Ningbo’s private economy has a solid foundation, and encouraging a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises to take the road of specialization and innovation, which can not only meet the urgent needs of improving the overall quality of small and medium-sized enterprises, but also help Ningbo’s manufacturing industry accelerate its transformation and upgrading and move toward high-quality development.” The person in charge of the relevant departments in Ningbo said that to carry out the training of specialized, innovative and high-quality enterprises is to make enterprises focus on technological innovation, product quality improvement and brand building in sub-sectors through the explanation of policies, the docking of service platforms and the appearance of state-level specialized, innovative “little giant” enterprises, so as to continuously improve their visibility and competitiveness.
According to the plan, Ningbo will strengthen the follow-up, investigation and analysis of “small-scale” enterprises and “small-giant” enterprises with specialization and novelty, urge all localities to strengthen the cultivation of “small-scale” enterprises and various specialized and novelty enterprises within their jurisdiction, strengthen guidance services and policy support, and strive to build a group of “small-scale” enterprises that break through key core technologies and take the lead in global market segments.
