Accelerate the cultivation of characteristic industrial clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises

During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, about 200 clusters were identified nationwide.

SMEs contact thousands of households, which is an important force in promoting innovation, promoting employment, and improving people's livelihood. The small and medium-sized enterprise industrial clusters positioned in counties are an important part of the regional economy and are crucial to promoting the high-quality development of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the " Interim Measures for Promoting the Development of Characteristic Industrial Clusters of Small and Medium Enterprises " (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"), which clarified the cultivation direction and recognition standards for characteristic industrial clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises, and proposed that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, about 200 clusters will be recognized nationwide, and guided and supported local governments to cultivate a batch of provincial clusters.

Where is the "special" of the characteristic industrial clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises? How to focus on supporting and cultivating? Regarding these issues, the reporter interviewed relevant persons in charge of the Small and Medium Enterprises Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Why is positioned in the "county"

presents a development trend of "one county, one industry". County industrial clusters have become the backbone of industrial development

According to the "Measures", the characteristic industrial clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises are industrial clusters that are positioned within the county-level zoning scope, with small and medium-sized enterprises as the main body, and have strong core competitiveness. Why should the cluster be located in the county?

County economy is the basic unit of my country's national economy. According to statistics, my country's county economy GDP accounts for nearly 40% of the country, and the number of registered residents in counties exceeds 60% of the country's total population.

Since the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Guiding Opinions on Further Promoting the Development of Industrial Clusters" in 2015, local governments have issued special policies based on local conditions, focusing on characteristic industrial clusters, county industrial concentration areas, block economy, etc., showing a development trend of "one county, one industry". Data shows that nearly 30% of the "little giant" enterprises are distributed in county industrial clusters, and county industrial clusters have become the backbone of my country's industrial development. Although the development trend is good, it should also be seen that the high-quality development of the cluster still faces some challenges. According to a relevant person in charge of the Small and Medium Enterprises Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, through a survey of 10 provinces, more than 50 county clusters, and nearly 1,000 small and medium-sized enterprises, it was found that the following problems still exist in the small and medium-sized enterprise industrial clusters -

positioning is fuzzy and lack of coordination. A considerable number of clusters have not been clearly positioned in their leading industries, and their advantages and characteristics are insufficient. At the same time, due to problems such as the collaborative innovation platform being not sound and not playing a role, many clusters are still manifested as "setting but not grouping".

lacks resources and lags in services. At present, there is still a big gap between the services provided by county industrial clusters and the demand for enterprises. The lack of digital infrastructure and service resources has limited the improvement of the level of cluster digital management and the level of digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises.

"Promoting the cultivation of characteristic industrial clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises can better sink high-level service resources, optimize the development environment of small and medium-sized enterprises, and make up for the innate disadvantages of small and medium-sized enterprises being small, scattered and weak." A relevant person in charge of the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that the development of characteristic industrial clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises is also conducive to promoting the rapid flow of various industrial resources, amplifying the industrial collaboration effect, and embed the clusters in the national and even global industrial systems, thereby achieving "positioning" and "compensation" in key links of the industrial chain, and enhancing the resilience of the industrial chain.

cluster "special" where is the cluster "special"

clarifies a leading industry, and continuously consolidates the industrial foundation, gathers innovation elements

features are the core driving force for the development of industrial clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises. So where is this kind of cluster "special"?

"special" is reflected in the specialization of the leading industries. According to the Measures, small and medium-sized enterprise clusters need to clarify a leading industry and continuously consolidate the industrial foundation.The practices of building one county, one industry, one town, one product and other practices in some regions are based on local resource characteristics and industrial foundations, and carry out differentiated positioning, guiding small and medium-sized enterprises to work in the leading industries, continuously improving the professional supporting capabilities of clusters, and promoting the upgrading of industrial foundations and the modernization of industrial chains.

"special" is reflected in the advantages of the dominant industries. The Measures require that small and medium-sized enterprise clusters should gather innovation factors around the leading industries, strengthen collaborative innovation, improve innovation platforms, improve industrial collaboration through digital means, practice green manufacturing , form core competitiveness, and promote the industry to climb to the high end of the value chain.

It should be seen that in recent years, various places have formed a number of relatively mature small and medium-sized enterprise characteristic industrial clusters based on their location characteristics, resource endowment, industrial foundation and industrial structure. Linxi, Hebei, the bearing industry cluster has strengthened strategic cooperation with research institutes to achieve breakthroughs in mid-to-high-end products such as machine tool bearings and ceramic bearings , and its products are exported to more than 90 countries and regions in Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States; Ye County, Henan Province relies on the leading enterprise Pingmei Shenma Group to establish the nylon new materials industry research institute, effectively promoting the integrated development of large, medium and small enterprises and collaborative innovation in production, academia, research and application.

"The selection of characteristic industrial clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises should be based on promoting the specialized and innovative development of small and medium-sized enterprises in my country and improving the modernization level of industrial chains, focusing on creating a good development environment for small and medium-sized enterprises and improving the professional supporting capabilities of key links of the industrial chain and supply chain." A relevant person in charge of the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that the next step will be to conduct specific selection and recognition from multiple aspects such as having strong core competitiveness, obvious gradient cultivation of high-quality small and medium-sized enterprises, efficient collaboration of industrial chain and supply chain, strong collaborative innovation capabilities, initial appearance of digital transformation effects, high green development level, and active participation in industrial open cooperation. How to cultivate

after the recognition of

, guide local governments to introduce special support policies, gather market-oriented service resources, and form a new development model

recognition is a means, and cultivation is the key. According to the Measures, during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, about 200 characteristic industrial clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises will be recognized nationwide. After the identification work is completed, how to support and promote the development and cultivation of clusters?

"By combining government guidance and market leadership, multiple measures have been taken to cultivate cluster development." A relevant person in charge of the Small and Medium Enterprises Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that on the one hand, through policy publicity, local governments are guided to coordinate the layout of small and medium-sized enterprise industrial clusters based on the actual work, and to introduce special support policies to strengthen support for cluster development in finance, finance, industry, land, talents, etc. On the other hand, stimulate the vitality of market entities, gather market-oriented service resources, and form a new cluster development model of multi-party co-construction, consultation and governance, risk sharing, and interest sharing through mechanism innovation.

"The survival and development of characteristic industrial clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises lies in industries. Without industries, there will be no clusters. Without specialized and strong industries, there will be no clusters. "Hang Jianjun, deputy director of the China Institute of Electronic Technology Standardization, said that cultivating characteristic industrial clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises, requires precise positioning of the cluster-led leading industries, improving the characteristic advantages of the leading industries, promoting the digital upgrading of industries, increasing the construction of innovation platforms, unblocking the internal and external collaboration networks of clusters, continuously promoting the gradient cultivation of high-quality small and medium-sized enterprises, and continuously improving the competitiveness of cluster industries.

In order to prevent the possible blind development and convergence in some regions during cluster construction, the Measures also made corresponding normative requirements and guidance to guide the healthy and sustainable development of characteristic industrial clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises.

The Measures stipulate that the three-year development plan for characteristic industrial clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises will be formulated as a basic condition for recognition and will effectively coordinate the industrial development direction of the cluster. Yang Jianjun analyzed that the cluster needs to combine the industrial development situation and its own development foundation, clarify the development goals, and take tailor-made and effective working measures to comprehensively enhance the core competitiveness of the leading industries, so as to develop into an industry benchmark with unique advantages and different models.

In addition, the Measures also propose the requirement to establish a dynamic cluster management and tracking monitoring mechanism. According to reports, in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will organize local small and medium-sized enterprise authorities to establish and improve the dynamic monitoring mechanism for local small and medium-sized enterprise industrial clusters, promote the sharing of advanced cultivation work experience through cluster diagnosis, compilation and release of case sets, and guide clusters to avoid detours and find ways out, and provide support for promoting the introduction of cluster support policies for precise drip irrigation.
