Since 2018, private SMEs in Guangzhou Development Zone have kept in mind that "small and medium-sized enterprises can do big things, innovation, creation and entrepreneurship cannot be separated from small and medium-sized enterprises", aiming at the "card neck", focusing on "broken chain points", filling gaps in key areas such as 5G, xinchuang, integrated circuits, and biomedicine, and handing over an answer sheet of the era of "small and medium-sized enterprises can do big things".
The relevant departments of the Guangzhou Development Zone have made a statistic: in the past three years, even in the face of unprecedented challenges from the external environment, the private small and medium-sized enterprises in the Guangzhou Development Zone have still maintained steady development, and some enterprises have even achieved "leapfrog development". At present, the district has gathered nearly 40,000 small and medium-sized enterprises, cultivated 32 national-level specialized and special new "little giant" enterprises, and 68 provincial-level specialized new enterprises, accounting for 47% and 30% of Guangzhou respectively.
Replenish the chain and strengthen the chain: "Ant Soldiers" shoulder the mission of localization
In the Guangzhou Development Zone, more than 80% of the industrial enterprises and more than 80% of the high-tech enterprises are small and medium-sized enterprises, and more than 80% of the authorized invention patents and technological innovation achievements come from small and medium-sized enterprises, making the zone one of the areas with the most active innovation and entrepreneurship in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the most concentrated private science and technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises.
For these small and medium-sized enterprises, a person in charge of the Economic and Information Technology Bureau of the Guangzhou Development Zone told the author that they generally have a focused "bull energy", drilling the horn tip at the "broken chain point" and "card neck", which must be drilled, which can be called "ant soldiers".
At the 130th Canton Fair, EHang Intelligence, the first share of global urban air traffic and from the Guangzhou Development Zone, demonstrated its completely independently developed manned autonomous vehicle - "EHang 216". Sitting on it, passengers do not need to drive, as long as they select a destination to "fly directly with one button".
"EHang's dream is to create an intelligent air traffic ecology." Xu Huaxiang, chief strategy officer of EHang Intelligence, said, "Our self-developed intelligent command and dispatch center is a key part of it, through the high-speed communication network, the command and dispatch center can remotely realize real-time data transmission and interaction with the aircraft, so as to carry out cluster scheduling and empower urban management." ”
In recent years, the growth rate of global mobile phone shipments has slowed down, and the market space of electromagnetic shielding film has basically reached the ceiling. However, Fangbang Electronics is not satisfied with only doing the faucet of electromagnetic shielding film, taking the initiative to open the "second venture", and its independent research and development of extremely thin flexible copper clad laminate and ultra-thin copper foil have won customer recognition. These two products were originally monopolized by foreign countries, and once the "card neck" occurs, it may cause serious restrictions on key industries such as 5G communications, artificial intelligence, big data centers, and automotive electronics in China.
"The important instructions of the party and state leaders make us more confident and more determined to take the road of high-end scientific and technological innovation, benchmark foreign advanced enterprises, and continue to develop products that can fill the domestic technology gap." Su Zhi, founder of Fangbang Electronics, said.
Nowadays, Xiaopeng Automobile, Wenyuan Zhixing, EHang Intelligent, etc., which have been incubated, grown and expanded in the Guangzhou Development Zone, have become global "bellwethers" in their respective fields. There are a total of 596 individual champion enterprises in the country, including 10 in Guangzhou and 7 in Guangzhou Development Zone.
Behind the success: government services "in place do not overstep"
Why can a district cultivate so many small and medium-sized enterprises that "can do great things"? The entrepreneurial experience of the newly selected national special new "little giant" enterprise Taidou Microelectronics fully explains the reasons behind it.
"The policies of the Guangzhou Development Zone cover all aspects of business operations, and to be honest, we are surprised to be so meticulous." Han Bing, director of the above-mentioned enterprise intellectual property center, said that even high-tech enterprises purchase intellectual property databases, and there are subsidies in the district - Taidou Microelectronics purchased the database for 60,000 yuan and received 30,000 district subsidies. According to statistics, in recent years, the support funds supported by The district are equivalent to the total research and development funds of the year.
Guangzhou Development Zone has built a relatively complete policy system to support small and medium-sized enterprises to do big things and small and medium-sized enterprises to innovate in science and technology, and has planted a thick soil for the continuous emergence of small and medium-sized enterprises that can do big things in the district: 1+8 scientific and technological innovation series policy system, "Meiyu 10" version 2.0, and the newly launched "Specialized Special New 10". The district further optimizes policies and services from seven dimensions, such as settlement investment, R&D innovation, financial support, and talent support.
In addition to the policy system, the Management Committee of Guangzhou Development Zone also strives to be efficient at the implementation level. It is understood that in the process of IPO, Fangbang Electronics was maliciously sued by Japanese peer enterprises, and multiple departments in the Guangzhou Development Zone reached out to help, not only contacting the legal team, but also subsidizing litigation costs; for the tax risks that may arise in the process of listing preparation, the district tax "Ten Measures for Serving the Development of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises" includes the "incubation" service of the whole process tracking, hand-in-hand counseling, assisting Fangbang Electronics to calmly face the listing review, and fully enjoy the tax dividends such as high-tech enterprise income tax incentives and R&D expense deductions.
Now Han Bing has become the "foreign investment personnel" in the district, and often takes the initiative to issue invitations to other small and medium-sized enterprises to "go to the Guangzhou Development Zone".
