“In 2022, Ganges Technology alone will invest as much as 4 in R&D.100 million, a year-on-year increase of 51.85%。 On January 30, Fang Rui, deputy director of the Science and Technology Development Division of the Zhenhai District Science and Technology Bureau, pointed to an R&D data statistics table and said, “There are more and more Zhenhai enterprises that attach importance to R&D like Ganges Technology, which also makes the total amount and growth rate of R&D expenses of industrial enterprises in the region hit a new high in 2022.” ”
At the beginning of the new spring, the good news of “two growth rates first” came: in 2022, the R&D expenses of industrial enterprises in Zhenhai District will be 52.600 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 24%..6%, ranking first in the city. The added value of high-tech industries reached 389.200 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14%, ranking first in the city.
The growth rate of R&D expenses of industrial enterprises in the city is not easy to come by. In fact, in the past, the R&D expenditure of industrial enterprises in Zhenhai District has always hovered at the average level of the city. In 2022, Zhenhai District will carry out R&D index improvement actions, functional departments will set up tough teams, take the initiative to visit and connect enterprises, and promote key enterprises and scientific and technological innovation platforms to implement the annual target tasks of R&D expenses with meticulous and thoughtful services, and “zero” industrial enterprises with no R&D activities.
In addition, Zhenhai District also took the lead in establishing a district- and county-level enterprise scientific and technological innovation leading evaluation system in the city, and released the lists of “Top 10 Enterprises Leading by Scientific and Technological Innovation” and “Leading Excellent Enterprises in Scientific and Technological Innovation”, giving play to the role of scientific and technological innovation leading enterprises. The role of policy guidance cannot be ignored, Zhenhai District strengthens the position of scientific and technological innovation in the evaluation of industrial enterprises, and has carried out the evaluation of enterprise R&D investment for four consecutive years since 2019, and enterprises that do not meet the standards do not enjoy district-level financial subsidies.
More and more Zhenhai enterprises recognize the importance of scientific and technological innovation, and are willing to spend money to introduce technology, talents and achievements, which has also contributed to the improvement of R&D indicators. It is logical that with the increase of R&D investment, more and more high-tech industries have risen in Zhenhai, which has contributed to the beautiful results of the growth rate of high-tech industries in Zhenhai District ranking first in the city. Taking Ganges Technology as an example, in recent years, 60 million yuan has been invested in the purchase of various R&D equipment, recruiting 5 high-level scientific research personnel, and in 2022, the company’s operating income will exceed 10 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 65%..42%, a record high. The company has been awarded the National Enterprise Technology Center, the Top 100 High-tech Enterprises in Zhejiang Province Innovation Capability List, and the first batch of science and technology leading enterprises in Zhejiang Province.
“What is today’s input can be tomorrow’s output. Only by increasing investment in scientific and technological innovation can enterprises continuously enhance their core competitiveness and gain a firm foothold in the uncertain market. Li Yimin, director of Zhenhai District Science and Technology Bureau, said that functional departments will coordinate and solve the needs of market entities in R&D activities with nanny-style services, guide the whole society to increase R&D investment, and cultivate Zhenhai’s innovation momentum.
