We will make every effort to promote the construction of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship carriers and optimize the innovation and entrepreneurship ecology
In 2023, Aishida Artificial Intelligence Industrial Park will open in Qingpu, focusing on "robot + artificial intelligence + application scenarios", and is committed to gathering industrial ecology and creating a multi-industry and multi-level robot industry development platform. In order to improve the level of scientific and technological innovation services and catalyze the rapid growth of hard technology start-ups, the industrial park actively applied for incubator recognition. The staff of the District Science and Technology Commission takes the initiative to respond to the problems and demands of the enterprise through the normalized government-enterprise communication mechanism, conducts on-site research and counseling, timely grasps the upgrading conditions and construction progress of the park, and formulates a declaration plan. In the first half of 2024, during the application period, we successfully guided Aishida Artificial Intelligence Industrial Park to pass the certification of municipal incubators.
"In the process of applying for the incubator, the District Science and Technology Commission took the initiative to contact our park, provide one-on-one counseling, delineate key points, prepare materials, and give detailed answers to the key points in the application process. At present, our park has successfully invested and incubated nearly 20 enterprises, and started the layout and construction of the intelligent manufacturing sector. Zhang Wenjie, investment promotion and operation manager of the operation department of Aishida Artificial Intelligence Industrial Park, said.
Since the beginning of this year, more than 100 new incubating enterprises have been added to the scientific and technological innovation and entrepreneurship carriers in Qingpu District. "We give full play to the guiding role of science and technology policies, and continuously improve the ability and level of innovation and entrepreneurship carrier service institutions in combination with the 'Entrepreneurship in Shanghai' International Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition and other event platforms." Xu Chao, chief of the science and technology planning section of the Qingpu District Science and Technology Commission, said.
We will make every effort to promote technology services to alleviate the financing needs of enterprises
Shanghai Qiyuan Core Power Technology Co., Ltd., located in Qingpu West Hongqiao Business District, is an advanced technology development and energy enterprise focusing on the field of "green electric transportation", focusing on commercial transportation scenarios such as heavy trucks, construction machinery, ships, and agricultural machinery, and continuously promoting the integrated development of transportation and energy through self-developed vehicle storage and shared batteries, charging and swapping facility operation and digital solutions. With the rapid development of the business, Qiyuan Core Power has invested in the construction of R&D centers and industrial parks to meet the continuously increasing demand for orders. However, the expansion of production capacity has also brought greater financial pressure to the company. The District Science and Technology Commission learned about the needs of enterprises, and actively built a bridge between enterprises and financial institutions with low financing costs to help solve the financing difficulties of science and technology enterprises. In January this year, Qiyuan Core Power completed a Series B equity financing of 1.5 billion yuan and entered the ranks of unicorn enterprises.
"As a company in the entrepreneurial stage, it needs more support and guidance in the process of scientific and technological research and development and application, and the Qingpu District Science and Technology Commission has played an active role in providing scientific and technological financial services on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has provided us with very detailed and comprehensive guidance in the identification of high-tech enterprises, the declaration of scientific and technological awards, the application of qualifications and the support of scientific and technological projects, giving us a great boost." Chen Lili, deputy general manager of Shanghai Qiyuan Core Power Technology Co., Ltd., said.
Since the beginning of this year, the District Science and Technology Commission has continuously deepened the "3+X" science and technology credit financing service system, actively promoted the effective integration of "science and technology + finance", and has a credit line of 136 million yuan. At the same time, the District Science and Technology Commission has served thousands of enterprises in various forms such as special lectures, symposiums, and one-on-one counseling, and introduced a new round of subsidy policies for district-level high-tech enterprises, which has increased the subsidy for re-identified high-tech enterprises, and implemented the policy through the way of free application.
"In the process of continuously optimizing the business environment, the District Science and Technology Commission actively builds a platform, optimizes the ecology and strengthens services. At present, we are revising and refining science and technology policies, continuously optimizing and innovating system supply and service models, promoting the reform of the business environment in the field of science and technology, fully supporting the innovation and development of more than 1,100 high-tech enterprises in the region, accelerating the cultivation of innovative subjects, and providing strong support for promoting high-quality economic development. Xu Chao said.
In the next step, the District Science and Technology Commission will continue to aim at the national strategic needs, activate the momentum of scientific and technological innovation, accumulate development potential, explore innovation potential, and improve the "convenience" of enterprise services, the "sensibility" of enterprise services, the "fairness" of market supervision and the "recognition" of the business environment, so as to create favorable conditions for high-quality development.
Editor's note: In recent years, Qingpu District has continued to promote the reform of key areas of the business environment, and continuously optimized and upgraded the construction of the business environment.
