Not long ago, the Internet Society of China held the 2021 China Internet Enterprise Comprehensive Strength Index Online Conference in the form of online live broadcast, at which the deputy secretary-general of the Association released the annual "China Internet Enterprise Comprehensive Strength Index (2021)" report.
The report not only shows the development status and trend of China's Internet industry from a systematic perspective, but also ranks the top 100 enterprises in the comprehensive strength of China's Internet enterprises in 2021 according to the comprehensive strength index (CICCI) of each enterprise.
According to the official document, the Comprehensive Strength Index (CICCI) of Chinese Internet Enterprises that affects the ranking is a weighted average calculation of 10 core indicators selected by the Internet Society of China to represent the six dimensions of the relevant companies, such as business scale, profitability, innovation ability, growth, risk prevention and control ability and social responsibility.
Among them, the basic source of data in addition to the company's 2020 financial reports, prospectuses, etc., in April this year, the Internet Society of China also issued a relevant notice, calling on enterprises to actively cooperate with the association's research work and independently participate in filling in the annual development data.
Based on the composite index of China's top 100 Internet companies in 2013, the index value of China's top 100 Internet companies in 2021 is as high as 616.5 points, an increase of 16.6% over the previous year.
