CCTV News (News Network): Since the beginning of this year, the economic operation of my country's small and medium-sized enterprises has made steady progress. In the first two months, the added value of small and medium-sized enterprises above designated size increased by 7.5% year-on-year. Many small and medium-sized enterprises are accelerating their development towards high-end and intelligentization, becoming an important force in cultivating new quality productivity.
At the Qinzhou Port Terminal in Guangxi, the loading of ocean freighters is underway here. Staff told reporters that half of the goods in the container are high-tech products, and most of these come from small and medium-sized enterprises.
Small and medium-sized enterprises have become the "main force" of foreign trade, while the proportion of "high-end and sophisticated" products has also further increased. In Shanghai, this "little giant" enterprise successfully applied magnetic levitation technology to factory assembly lines, accurately controlling large equipment, and improving production efficiency by 3 times. The latest data shows that at present, there are more than 600,000 scientific and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises in my country, and 141,000 specialized and new small and medium-sized enterprises. The average R&D investment of "little giants" enterprises accounts for 7% of their operating income. The industrialization rate of effective invention patents for small and medium-sized enterprises exceeds 50%, which has increased for two consecutive years.
In the next step, my country will also hold national small and medium-sized enterprise service month, "100,000 enterprises" integration docking of large and medium-sized enterprises, and in-depth docking of small and medium-sized enterprises for small and medium-sized enterprises to provide more services and support for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises.
