my country will cultivate 200 characteristic industrial clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises
A few days ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology launched the selection of 2022 characteristic industry clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises across the country. According to the plan, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, my country will cultivate 200 characteristic industrial clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Why develop this model of industrial clusters?
Experts pointed out that the mode of industrial clusters can help small and medium-sized enterprises to connect resources and integrate elements, promote the implementation of policies that benefit enterprises, and help the country to strengthen the industry chain and supply chain in a targeted manner.
Yang Jianjun, Vice President of China Electronics Standardization Research Institute: Especially when our market demand is insufficient and the cost of raw materials and labor is relatively high, by (cultivating) small and medium-sized industrial clusters, we can accelerate the development of capital, talents, and information. flow, improve the implementation (effect) of the entire SME policy, and promote the development of the overall SMEs.
Up to now, there have been more than 600 demonstration zones of massive economic industrial clusters, county-level characteristic industrial clusters, and characteristic towns that have been cultivated and recognized in various regions, and the driving effect on local economic development is becoming increasingly apparent.
Create a cluster advantage to win a bigger stage for industrial cooperation
How does the development model of industrial clusters help local SMEs break through various difficulties and achieve development?
Pingxiang County, Hebei is the main gathering place for bicycle and baby carriage manufacturing enterprises in my country. There are more than 2,600 related enterprises in the county, with an annual output of 10 million bicycles and 50 million baby carriages, accounting for 40% of the global market.
In the company's testing center, a self-developed carbon fiber children's balance car has just been successfully rolled off the assembly line.
Dong Hongzhi, general manager of a bicycle company in Hebei: In the later stage, we will put it into mass production and put it into the domestic and international high-end markets.
At present, many products developed by the company have entered the international market, but in the early stage, the company can only produce a single component of the bicycle, without technology, only processing, and the profit is very meager.
Like many small and medium-sized enterprises, Dong Hongzhi also thought about technological breakthroughs, but the most important thing is that there are no talents.
Dong Hongzhi, general manager of a bicycle company in Hebei: There are few talents in a small place, and it can’t be retained if recruited from other places. Without R&D talents, how can we produce products that the market likes? For our company, talents are our core competitiveness. .
The difficulties faced by Dong Hongzhi are also common difficulties encountered in the development of local small and medium-sized enterprises.
Deng Chengxun, President of the Bicycle Industry Association of Pingxiang County, Hebei Province: If a company wants to connect with so many universities and scientific research institutions, people will definitely be unwilling.
In order to break the business model of "going alone", Pingxiang County has begun to build characteristic industrial clusters in recent years, and provides incentives and support in various aspects such as enterprise entry, product research and development, brand creation, and digital empowerment.
Deng Chengxun, President of the Bicycle Industry Association of Pingxiang County, Hebei Province: We have a complete industrial chain of bicycles and baby carriages, thousands of companies, and an annual output value of more than 30 billion yuan. If we talk to him about cooperation in the name of an industrial cluster, it will be different. , When people see that the market for our scientific research results is so large, they are very willing to do this.
And they can also innovate around all aspects of the industry chain.
Relying on the cluster advantages, Pingxiang County cooperates with Tongji University and other colleges and research institutes to build an innovative development platform for thousands of local enterprises.
As long as there is demand, enterprises can find corresponding scientific research institutions to develop and innovate together.
From the beginning, no one wanted to come. Now, the company has a R&D team of nearly 20 people who can launch 5 to 6 new products every month, and export orders have been placed in January next year.
He Zhili, Director of the Office of Science and Industry Bureau of Pingxiang County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province: A series of information sharing platforms such as industrial design, technological innovation, and quality inspection within the cluster can further promote the innovation and development of enterprises.
In the first eight months of this year, the overall revenue of leading industries such as bicycles and baby carriages in Pingxiang County exceeded 20 billion yuan.
The characteristic industrial cluster is not only the guarantee for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, but also the booster for the economic development of Pingxiang County.
Drive county economic development with characteristic industrial clusters
As the basic unit of the national economy, the activity of the county economy has always been regarded as the wind vane of the national economy.
The state's promotion of the cluster development of small and medium-sized enterprises will further stimulate the development vitality of the county economy.
The reporter also found in the survey that this year, in the face of the complex and ever-changing economic situation, various localities are also accelerating reform and innovation, and promoting the economic development of local counties with characteristic industrial clusters.
Changxing County, Zhejiang Province is known as the "capital of China's battery industry", and 80% of the country's lead-acid batteries are related to Changxing.
Coming to the "industrial brain" that the local government has been working hard to build in the past two years, the reporter saw that with the click of a mouse, the order for 5,000 batteries was automatically decomposed, and the production instructions were directly sent to thousands of manufacturing plants in the industrial chain.
This company that produces battery plastic casings grabbed the order at the first time. Relying on the resource scheduling of the "industrial brain", the company's orders have continued to grow and develop rapidly since the beginning of this year.
Ye Xuemei, Manager of the Second Sales Department of a Zhejiang Science and Technology Co., Ltd.: Now there are 134 people, and the annual output value has reached hundreds of millions.
In the past two years, in order to cope with the impact of unfavorable factors such as rising raw material prices and the spread of the epidemic, the government relies on the local battery industry chain to build a digital service platform around more than ten application scenarios such as raw material collection, logistics, and finance— —Industrial Brain, helps SMEs find orders and expand markets by sharing data and resources.
Hu Fushan, head of the "Industrial Brain" of Zhejiang Changxing Power Battery: It can break through the data barriers between digital workshops, raw material suppliers, and sales stores in various places, helping us to judge the situation of production, R&D, and sales in advance.
At present, this industry brain has served more than 20,000 enterprises in the industry chain.
Here, upstream companies can release procurement requirements in advance, downstream companies can adjust production plans in a timely manner, and companies in the entire industry chain can adjust orders in a timely manner based on inventory.
Jin Wei, General Manager of a Packaging and Printing Co., Ltd. in Changxing, Zhejiang: In the past, our production cycle was about a week, but now the production cycle can be shortened to two to three days. Because the production plan is more reasonable, our order The volume has also increased by 10% to 20%.
With the help of the industrial brain, the battery industry cluster is becoming a supporting industry for Changxing County to stimulate employment and increase income. This year, the output value of the cluster is expected to exceed 40 billion yuan.
The development of small and medium-sized enterprises is still facing problems that need to be solved urgently
It can be seen from the reporter's research that the mode of characteristic industrial clusters can enhance the resilience and vitality of small and medium-sized enterprises. However, we also learned from the interview that at present, there are still some problems that need to be solved urgently for small and medium-sized enterprises in my country on the road of industrial cluster development. .
Qin Jiaqi, head of small and medium-sized enterprises in Nanchang, Jiangxi: All of our information-based software management systems are recruited from the coast to operate our systems.
We especially hope that the local government can give more talent policies, and also allow more local enterprises to move towards a new track of informatization transformation and upgrading.
He Pengyu, head of small and medium-sized enterprises in Ganzhou, Jiangxi: There are some corresponding mechanisms or policies for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises to stimulate us or reduce our cost.
Li Rongzhou, head of small and medium-sized enterprises in Chongzuo, Guangxi: (Hopefully) the government will attract more deep-processing enterprises in terms of investment promotion, and encourage local enterprises to develop in the direction of deep processing, which will be more advantageous for the development of our entire wood industry.
Yang Jianjun, Vice President of China Electronics Standardization Research Institute: The characteristics of some industrial clusters are not obvious enough, the quality and efficiency are not high, and the whole environment is not perfect, etc. The biggest reason is that the cluster is not clustered, lacks overall planning, and the public service capacity of the cluster is different from that of the cluster. The needs of our small and medium-sized enterprises do not match, so that the small and medium-sized enterprises clusters are not obvious enough when they play their role.
Local governments introduce policies to promote the development of small and medium-sized enterprises
In response to the current problems in cluster development, since this year, localities have gradually changed the previous development model when cultivating characteristic industrial clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises: more precise positioning of cluster-leading industries, focus on stimulating innovation vitality within clusters, and coordinated development to accelerate cluster transformation.
These policies are also bringing new changes to the development of SMEs.
In Chengyang District, Qingdao City, Shandong Province, recently the government is organizing the declaration of national-level SMEs characteristic industry clusters.
Since the beginning of the year, the government has adopted a series of policies to guide the agglomeration and development of enterprises, and now it has begun to take shape.
Yin Dejun, deputy director of the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology of Chengyang District, Qingdao City: issued a support policy for cultivating characteristic industrial clusters, giving up to 3 million yuan in financial incentives to key industrial clusters at the national and provincial levels; encouraging and guiding enterprises to increase technology Innovation investment, reward up to 5 million yuan for manufacturing innovation platforms at all levels.
The government's measures have stimulated the enthusiasm of enterprises to innovate and upgrade. Not long ago, this "breakable" transparent new component has just been developed and put into the market. This new polyester material is still intact even if it is thrown from a height of more than one meter from the ground. Non-destructive, is widely used in high-speed rail, home appliances and other fields.
Li Rongxun, person in charge of Qingdao New Materials Science and Technology Industrial Park Development Co., Ltd.: Mass production in July and August saw a double-digit increase in orders, so the factory is working overtime from top to bottom to ensure the production of orders.
It is not only this company that has benefited from this R&D breakthrough. Nearly 100 small and medium-sized enterprises have gathered in the local advanced polymer composite material industry chain.
The growth of orders covers all links from raw material processing to mold manufacturing. Everyone works together to make the enterprises in the cluster get real benefits.
Yang Youcai, technical director of Qingdao Jiongsheng New Material Technology Co., Ltd.: The enterprises in our gathering area focus on the new material industry and develop together with each other. Every week, we hold a meeting on technical requirements to cooperate with each other and give feedback to each other.
Driven by the cluster model, from January to August this year, enterprises above designated size in the advanced polymer composite material industry chain in Chengyang District completed a total industrial output value of more than 13 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15%.
