The new driving force in the GDP report card of Yinzhou is becoming more and more abundant, and Yinzhou enterprises have made significant contributions to R&D and innovation. Faced with the heavy pressure from the external environment last year, Baolue Technology successfully attracted new customers through the development of digital new products, and sales increased against the trend. The development path of the enterprise is very clear, and we are more confident in further increasing R&D investment and searching for a larger market in the digital segmentation field, “said Wu Dun, Chairman of Baolue Technology.
Last year, the total expenditure on industrial research and development above designated size in Yinzhou District was 53.300 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7%.6%, accounting for 2% of the operating revenue of industrial enterprises above designated size.88%. The willingness of enterprises to invest indicates that they are optimistic about the future. The proportion of R&D funds in the GDP of Yinzhou has increased from less than 2% in 2017 to 2% last year.82%, achieving leapfrog development.
Continuously increasing investment in research and innovation, Yinqi is forging stronger competitiveness. Last year, the Provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce released the “2022 Zhejiang Private Enterprise R&D Investment Top 100” list, and enterprises in Yinzhou District, such as “Junsheng Electronics”, “Aux”, and “LeGe”, were listed. Not only are old manufacturing giants investing heavily in research and development, but small and medium-sized enterprises are also seizing the commanding heights in innovative research and development.
As a start-up enterprise, Yuanxin Optoelectronics, mainly engaged in the research and development of communication optical chips, has entered the stage of small-scale shipment. The enterprise aims at the mid to high-end optical chip market, introduces high-level talents, and is determined to establish a foothold in the chip industry with a long research and development cycle. Currently, the large-scale tunable laser chips produced by the enterprise have filled the domestic gap, and thin film lithium niobate modulators are leading domestic and foreign peers. Since last year, the company has achieved breakthroughs in both research and development and sales.
It has become a common consensus among Yinqi enterprises that innovation has sufficient vitality and strong strength, accurately grasping new situations and demands, and conducting research and development innovation can win the future. Last year, Yinzhou District added 18 provincial-level high-tech enterprise research and development centers and 5 provincial-level enterprise research institutes. We have a total of 9 national enterprise technology centers and 167 research and development institutions at or above the provincial level, ranking first in the city in terms of quantity.
Bowei vigorously promotes the research and development of semiconductor packaging materials, making them smaller, lighter, and thinner, solving the problem of small space and high computing power in chips. Relying on the vigorously developed digital R&D platform, this national manufacturing champion enterprise has repeatedly broken through the “bottleneck” technology and enhanced its core competitiveness.
The needs of enterprises are the future of the industry. Yinzhou strongly supports enterprises to climb towards the high-end of the value chain, focuses on building a “tropical rainforest style” innovation ecosystem, promotes technological cooperation and exchange, and results transfer and transformation, and “thread through the needle” between industry, university, and research. Measures such as organizing technology demand docking activities, identifying enterprise needs, and collecting research and development results from research institutes are taken to improve the quality and efficiency of industry, university, and research cooperation.
At the end of last year, during the 7th China Innovation Challenge (Ningbo) Yinzhou Special Competition, the Yinzhou District Science and Technology Bureau visited enterprises in the early stage and identified the specific technological innovation needs of 7 enterprises. 26 technical teams came to “unveil and compete”, and in the end, all 7 enterprises successfully joined hands with the technical teams, with a cooperation intention amount of 21.7 million yuan.
In the form of unveiling challenges, accelerating the precise integration of demand and technology, helping enterprises solve the ‘bottleneck’ problem, can effectively reduce innovation costs, and promote the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, “said Gu Shidong, Deputy Director of the Yinzhou District Science and Technology Bureau.
