In July 2011, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's "Report on China's Industrial Development and Industrial Policies (2011)" proposed that during the 12th Five Year Plan period, China will promote mergers and acquisitions while also promoting the healthy development of small and medium-sized enterprises. The next policy focus for promoting the healthy development of small and medium-sized enterprises is to improve the external environment for their development, accelerate the construction of a service system for small and medium-sized enterprises, establish a long-term mechanism for reducing their burden, and vigorously promote the development of small and medium-sized enterprises towards the direction of "specialization, refinement, uniqueness, and novelty". This is also the first time that 'specialization, refinement, novelty' has appeared in our field of vision.

Afterwards, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued guidance on promoting the development of "specialization, refinement, uniqueness, and novelty" in small and medium-sized enterprises in 2013, and proposed to carry out the cultivation of "small giants" in specialization, refinement, uniqueness, and novelty in 2018

It wasn't until today, ten years later, that 'specialization, refinement, novelty' truly became popular. The fact that multiple "specialized, refined, and innovative" concept stocks such as JA Solar, semiconductor silicon wafer leader Zhonghuan Shares, and carbon based composite material leader Jinbo Shares have reached historic highs is the best proof.

As of September this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has released three batches of specialized, refined, and new "little giant" enterprise lists, with a total of 4762 companies listed. So, among the 4762 specialized, refined, and innovative "little giant" enterprises, which ones are the digital intelligence enterprises? What benefits and support does the company receive after being selected? How should companies that have not been selected adjust their applications? What is the current development status of "specialization, refinement, novelty" after ten years? How will it develop in the future

With various questions in mind, China Software Network interviewed companies such as Alibaba, Inspur, UFIDA, Bingjian Technology, Yushi Technology, Daguan Data, Mingming Wanda, Yidian Cloud, Jutong, Xinfan HVAC, Minglue Technology, Daoyi Cloud, Mingtu Technology, Nightingale Technology, ClickPaaS, as well as industry experts. The interviewed companies covered three categories: selected specialized, refined, and new "little giant" enterprises, enterprises applying or preparing to apply for specialized, refined, and new "little giant" enterprises, and digital platform service providers, attempting to comprehensively sort out digital, refined, and new "little giant" enterprises and answer various questions about "specialized, refined, and new".

490 specialized and innovative "little giant" digital intelligence enterprises

In specialized and innovative enterprises, "little giant" enterprises refer to outstanding small and medium-sized enterprises that focus on segmented markets, have strong innovation capabilities, high market share, master key core technologies, and have excellent quality and efficiency.

From 2019 to 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has successively released three batches of 4762 specialized, refined, and new "little giant" enterprises, with the first batch of 248, the second batch of 1584, and the third batch of 2930. This includes 5 batches of 596 individual champion enterprises, driving the cultivation of more than 40000 provincial-level "specialized, refined, unique and new" small and medium-sized enterprises in various regions.

According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as of the end of July this year, "Little Giant" enterprises have an average of more than 50 valid patents, over 70% have been deeply involved in segmented industries for more than 10 years, and over 80% are ranked first in the segmented market in the province. The proportion of main business income to total operating income has reached over 97%.

According to incomplete statistics from China Software Network, out of 4762 "little giant" enterprises, there are a total of 490 digital intelligence companies involved in various fields such as big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, information and communication, the Internet of Things, and smart cities.

From a regional distribution perspective, Shanghai has a total of 262 specialized, refined, and innovative "little giant" enterprises, accounting for 5.5% of the total, ranking first among all cities in the country. Beijing has 257 "little giant" enterprises, ranking second in the country. Among 490 smart companies, the number of smart companies in first tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen is far ahead of other cities. The "little giant" digital intelligence enterprises in provinces such as Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu far exceed those in provinces such as Northeast and Northwest China.

Taking Beijing and Shanghai as examples, the total number and scale of specialized, refined, and new enterprises in Beijing have shown a sustained and rapid growth trend, especially the "little giants" of specialized, refined, and new enterprises. Over 50% of them have R&D accounting for more than 10%, over 60% have profits exceeding 10 million yuan, nearly 70% have operating revenues exceeding 100 million yuan, nearly 70% have core technologies filling international and domestic gaps, and over 80% rank first in the national segmented market.

From the perspective of operational monitoring in Shanghai, the output value, revenue, and profit growth rate of "specialized, refined, and innovative" enterprises have all exceeded the city's average level. Among them, there are 603 enterprises with sales revenue exceeding 100 million yuan and market share ranking among the top three in the country, accounting for 20%. There are 75 "specialized, refined, special and new" enterprises listed on the main board of the ChiNext board and the Science and Technology Innovation Board.

According to the Haibi Research Institute, from the current development status, it is not advisable for most specialized, refined, and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises to deliberately pursue "becoming bigger and stronger". Instead, they should focus on niche areas, concentrate on their main business, hone their internal skills, and strengthen innovation. This is also the general direction for the development of specialized, refined, and innovative enterprises. Under the guidance of policies, large enterprises and research institutes are encouraged to strengthen their interaction with specialized, refined, innovative, and small and medium-sized enterprises, in order to create better development space for these enterprises.

The following is a list of 490 specialized, refined, and innovative "little giant" digital intelligence enterprises compiled by China Software Network:

7 'Little Giant' Enterprises Speak from Their Own Experiences

For different industries, the specific focus and performance of specialized and innovative enterprises vary. Therefore, China Software Network visited seven specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprises in order to speak from their own experiences. These seven specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprises are: Jutongda, Mingming Wanda, Yushi Technology, Yidianyun, Bingjian Technology, Daguan Data, and Xinfan HVAC.

For the understanding of "specialization, refinement, uniqueness, and novelty", the seven "little giant" enterprises all emphasized innovation capabilities. As a 'little giant', enterprises need to focus more on core areas, segmented markets, key technological capabilities, distinctive products and services, with innovation being the 'foundation'. Specialization, refinement, novelty, and innovation are essentially guiding small and medium-sized enterprises to develop in the field of innovation.

Taking Yushi Technology as an example, since its establishment, the company has adhered to full stack independent research and development, delivering full scenario, truly unmanned, and all-weather "AI drivers" for the industry, creating a unique evolutionary development path for autonomous driving, emphasizing that technology must be integrated into the industry for systematic innovation to form value traction.

At the same time, Daguan has mature products and rich experience in implementation, serving over 100 Fortune 500 companies.

Xinfan HVAC, founded in 1998, has 59 national patents and a global logistics docking rate of up to 80%. As early as 2001, the "Xinfan" brand was established and China's first appearance patent for a water separator was obtained. Xinfan adopts the internationally advanced Pro/ENGINEER professional design software for product design; Use efficient precision machining machine equipment; Establish a strict and complete product management system, obtain ISO quality management system, create a complete and strict testing mechanism, and obtain international certifications such as CE and ROSH. Adhering to the core spirit of "taking one step at a time, pursuing endlessly", Xinfan Technology continuously breaks through constraints and Chinese manufacturing.

So, what changes will be made to the development of the enterprise's' specialization, refinement, novelty 'after being selected as a specialist, specialist, and novelty?

Seven "Little Giant" companies have all stated that after being selected as specialized, refined, and new "Little Giant", they have received more attention and assistance from relevant government departments, including funding subsidies, policy communication, brand promotion, and talent introduction. And in recent years, small and medium-sized enterprise management agencies in various provinces have also actively researched the development needs of specialized, refined, and new enterprises, in various aspects such as talent, financing, enterprise management, policy subsidies, etc., such as financial special funds, tax incentives, enterprise intellectual property protection, technological innovation support, market development support, etc. Tailored support policies for enterprises, providing comprehensive and diversified support for the development of specialized, refined, and innovative enterprises. The value of specialized, refined, and innovative policies is also increasing.

However, it is also worth noting that in the process of implementing policies, some aspects worth optimizing have begun to emerge.

Yidianyun, Mingming Wanda, Yushi Technology, Jutongda, and Xinfan HVAC have all stated that there are currently some support policies for specialization, refinement, and innovation, but there are relatively few systematic implementations and supporting policies. For example, support in areas such as taxation, financing, policies supporting the settlement of fresh graduates, and office land and housing needs to be strengthened. Ming Dynasty Wanda also mentioned that, taking Beijing as an example, the city level attaches great importance to specialization, refinement, uniqueness, and innovation, but there is still a lack of service and connection at the district level.

Jutongda said that after the COVID-19, the first batch of "specialized, special and new" SMEs focused on market segments, had strong anti risk ability and played a positive exemplary role. However, given that there is already a certain foundation for promoting the development of "specialized, refined, unique and new" enterprises, the relevant policy measures are not precise and direct enough, and the linkage between the upper and lower levels of work is not close enough, many recognized enterprises still have problems such as insufficient innovation cooperation and limited industrial supporting capabilities. In addition, the current "specialized, refined, special and new" policy has a relatively small amount of fiscal incentives, which has a limited impact on the overall economic output. It is difficult to directly affect economic growth and the pace of macroeconomic policies in the short term.

Daguan Data points out that promoting the development of "specialized, refined, distinctive and new" small and medium-sized enterprises has a certain working foundation, but policy measures are not precise and direct enough, and the linkage between upper and lower work is not close enough. The recognized enterprises have problems such as insufficient innovation cooperation and limited industrial supporting capabilities. It is necessary to further drive local governments to increase the cultivation of "specialized, refined, distinctive and new" small and medium-sized enterprises through the guidance of central financial funds, and to establish policies to strengthen cooperation in the industrial chain of small and giant enterprises.

At the same time, leveraging the advantages and value of industry leaders is becoming an important criterion for testing the future development of specialized, refined, and innovative enterprises.

Yidianyun believes that enterprises need to adhere to innovation, deeply cultivate segmented fields, break through "bottleneck" technologies, and lead industrial upgrading.

Ju Tongda stated that to leverage the advantages and value of being a "leader", we can start with four major advantages, lead the industry to progress together, and become a benchmark in the industry: focus on the "four basics" of industry and the top ten key industrial areas of the manufacturing power strategy, deeply cultivate segmented markets, and create differentiated competitive advantages; Intensify innovation efforts, strengthen technological breakthroughs through forms such as industry university research cooperation, and improve specialized production capacity and product premium space; To provide parts, components, supporting products, and services for large enterprises, projects, and industrial chains, to fill the gaps and weaknesses in China's industrial and supply chains, and to enable small parts to play a significant role; By implementing systems such as the integration of industrialization and informatization, establishing refined and efficient management systems and processes within the enterprise, we aim to achieve more scientific and efficient management of the entire process from procurement, production to delivery.

Ming Dynasty Wanda will continue to focus on the field of data security, strengthen innovation, not only to safeguard the data security of existing mainstream scenarios, but also to safeguard the data security of various new scenarios and business models, in order to contribute to the greater social value of "data" new production factors.

Yushi Technology, on the other hand, stated that it will continue to strengthen collaborative innovation with leading chain enterprises in the future. In the long-distance race of autonomous driving, it will focus on the "four specialties" of specialization, professionalism, specialization, and expert expertise, forge advantages in segmented fields, cultivate core competitiveness, and maintain its position and position in international and domestic industrial chain competition. It will gradually grow into a "singles champion" with unique skills, and move towards the goal of becoming a single champion enterprise in segmented fields and a domestic hidden champion enterprise in the future.

Daguan Data emphasizes that in response to the complex business environment at home and abroad, enterprises need to maintain their core competitiveness in the face of uncertainty and cope with various challenges in the future. Daguan Data will continue to adhere to its professional development strategy, focus on deepening the field of text intelligence, emphasize innovation, adhere to self-developed and domestically produced products, and provide core independent products for China's industrial development; Continue to strengthen R&D investment, seek deep cooperation between industry, academia, and research, maintain continuous innovation capabilities, continuously optimize R&D design, marketing, internal management, and other aspects, strengthen commercial product capabilities, and find ways to steadily grow the company's benefits; Pay attention to the long-term development strategy of the enterprise, focus on talent team building, and strive to become the first artificial intelligence enterprise listed in the field of text intelligence; Strengthen channel cooperation, connect upstream and downstream industries, focus on building an innovative ecosystem in the field of text intelligence, and continuously contribute to the healthy and stable development of the industry.

Bingjian Technology mentioned that as a specialized and innovative small giant enterprise, while seizing opportunities, it should maintain a sense of crisis and be prepared for danger in times of peace. Even if it receives this honor, Bingjian Technology still faces various challenges from both internal and external sources. Enterprises should adjust their organizational structure and management systems according to their actual situation, actively respond to national calls, and closely follow policy steps to adjust their positioning and business sectors.

Bingjian Technology will actively participate in the formulation of industry standards and technical discussions in the future, and contribute its own strength to the development, technological innovation, and application of the industry.

Xinfan HVAC stated that specialized, refined, and innovative "little giant" enterprises need to stand at the forefront of the trend and have a long-lasting foundation; To be ubiquitous domestically and to stand tall internationally. This is the hope of many enterprises and the only way for various industries in China to rise under the global digital wave. In the journey of soaring high and benchmarking against the international community, development opportunities are actually hidden in the "surging" market. At present, with the increasing drive of technology and the pursuit of individuality in consumption, market demand presents diverse characteristics, providing broad space for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. Grasp the pulse of the market, broaden international horizons, and achieve sustainable development. Xinfan HVAC, with leading process design, manufacturing quality, independent innovation and development planning, creates a comfortable and livable experience, improves people's quality of life, constantly innovates and breaks through, and provides professional, reliable, green and energy-saving solutions for every household and project worldwide.

Six major issues to pay attention to when applying for specialized, refined, and new enterprises

Whether it is to influence policy calls or promote their own development, more and more small and medium-sized enterprises will hope to be included in the list of specialized, refined, and new "little giant" enterprises in the future. China Software Network has compiled six major issues that enterprises should pay attention to when applying for specialization, refinement, and novelty:

① What kind of companies are more likely to be selected?

Naturally, companies with "specialization, refinement, uniqueness, and novelty" are more likely to be included in the list. As Ming Dynasty Wanda stated, its core advantages are focus and innovation; Yushi Technology has also been deeply cultivating the high-level autonomous driving sub market for many years, focusing on the commercial application of autonomous driving in multiple scenarios. It has achieved a leap from 0 to 1 in the commercial layout of autonomous driving and completed large-scale delivery and operation from 1 to 1000; Daguan Data believes that specialization, refinement, and innovation require companies to focus on vertical segmentation areas, master key core technologies, and win more market share; Nightingale Technology believes that enterprises should focus on segmented markets, possess distinctive professional technologies, and innovation capabilities.

② What are the precautions during the declaration process?

As selected as a specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprise, Yidian Cloud, Yushi Technology, Mingming Wanda, Bingjian Technology, and Daguan Data have all provided thoughtful tips. Yidianyun emphasizes the importance of fully expressing the characteristics and values of its own business, including specialization, refinement, distinctiveness, and novelty.

Yushi Technology believes that companies preparing to apply for the "Little Giant" program must grasp the policy direction, hone their own advantages around the four aspects of "specialization, refinement, specialization, and novelty", continuously build their core competitiveness, deeply cultivate segmented markets, forge their own "unique skills", and have a certain say in the industry chain. The most important thing in cultivating "specialization, refinement, uniqueness, and novelty" is to focus, not to seek large or diversified resources, but to concentrate limited resources on a specific field.

Focusing on the niche areas where the enterprise excels, continuously innovating and serving the market, this is also the suggestion given by Ming Dynasty Wanda.

Bingjian Technology suggests that other applying units should consolidate their foundation and make long-term plans for the development of the enterprise. They can pay attention to the recognition standards of specialized, refined, unique and new "little giants" to adjust the development direction of the enterprise. Whether it is for applying for the award or guiding the development of the enterprise, it is of great help.

Daguan Data suggests that firstly, "little giant" enterprises should have a certain performance foundation and good development potential. Enterprises should pay attention to the process of technology productization and marketization. The country focuses on cultivating specialized, refined, unique, and new small enterprises in the early stages of value growth, which may also become "giants" in the industry. If you want to become a specialized and innovative small giant, you need to focus on the development of segmented markets, have strong innovation capabilities, strive to achieve high market share, master key core technologies, attach importance to service quality, and further enhance your own development potential and risk resistance ability.

③ What discounts and support will you receive after being selected as a specialized and innovative enterprise?

Yushi Technology candidly stated that it has become a national level specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprise, and the company has received widespread attention from governments at all levels. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in conjunction with the Ministry of Finance, has arranged special award and subsidy funds to support more than 1000 national level specialized, refined, special and new "little giant" enterprises to increase innovation investment.

The company, as a representative of outstanding enterprises in Beijing's specialized, refined, unique, and new industries, was invited by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology to participate in the 17th China International Small and Medium sized Enterprise Expo held in Guangzhou. The company showcased its core technology products and participated in special events such as investment and financing, enterprise roadshows, and technology docking for "specialized, refined, unique, and new" enterprises.

Ming Dynasty Wanda also revealed that after becoming a national level specialized and innovative "little giant", the company has received more attention and assistance from relevant departments of the Beijing Municipal Government, including funding subsidies, policy communication, brand promotion, and talent introduction.

Bingjian Technology stated that it is located in Lujiazui, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, with a first-class business environment. The government pays close attention to Bingjian Technology and always keeps it informed of various policies in a timely manner.

Daguan Data stated that the honor of specialization, refinement, and novelty has brought us more attention, and major summits, media, and others have been discussing this topic for a while. We are also constantly gaining more attention and communication from groups such as capital, media, and customers.

After being selected as a specialized and innovative "little giant", Xinfan Warm has received key support in policy areas such as technical services, innovation driven development, transformation and upgrading, and specialized training. At the same time, it has also received policy assistance: focusing on the difficulties encountered by enterprises in their development, assistance is provided through a "one enterprise, one policy" approach, such as special financial funds, tax incentives, protection of enterprise intellectual property rights, support for technological innovation, and support for market development.

④ What other adjustments do companies need to make besides mandatory requirements?

Ju Tongda suggests that companies planning to apply for specialized, refined, and innovative "little giants" need to make adjustments and efforts in three aspects, including adhering to a professional development strategy: long-term focus and deep cultivation in a certain link or product of the industrial chain, being able to provide key components, electronic components, and supporting products for large enterprises and projects, as well as professionally produced complete sets of products; Enterprise led products have a high market share in domestic segmented industries.

Continuous innovation capability: Continuously innovating and achieving significant benefits in research and development design, production and manufacturing, marketing, internal management, etc., with certain demonstration and promotion value.

Standardized management, good reputation, strong sense of social responsibility: domestically leading production technology, processes, and product quality performance, with good brand influence; Enterprises attach great importance to and implement long-term development strategies, value talent team building, and have a core team with good professional background and strong production and operation capabilities, which has the potential to develop into an international leading enterprise in related fields.

Yidianyun also provided three suggestions: first, adhere to innovation and build strong technical capabilities; Secondly, technology and business should play a certain industrial and social value; The third is to do a good job in the subdivision field and provide higher-level and higher quality services to the vast number of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Bingjian Technology suggests that enterprises adjust their organizational structure and management systems according to their actual situation, actively respond to national calls, and closely follow policy steps to adjust their positioning and business sectors.

Mingtu Technology suggests that companies planning to apply for specialization, refinement, uniqueness, and novelty should strengthen their strategic development strategies, actively establish and improve information resource integration and sharing mechanisms, strengthen scientific research cooperation, share research and development platforms, and pay attention to whether their own "specialization", "refinement", "uniqueness", and "novelty" meet policy requirements.

Development suggestions for specialized, refined, and innovative enterprises

It cannot be ignored that the development of specialized, refined, unique, and new small and medium-sized enterprises is also facing growth challenges. In response to this, the interviewed enterprises have put forward relevant suggestions regarding current policies, development opportunities and challenges, as well as future cooperation.

Suggestions for specialized, refined, and innovative policies

The policy of "specialization, refinement, novelty" began with the "12th Five Year Plan" for the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises in 2011. As an important way for small and medium-sized enterprises to transform and upgrade, it belongs to the industrial policy of local economic sectors. With the continuous improvement of the positioning of specialized, refined, and new policies, it has become a key part of the national modernization strategy. The "Little Giant" cultivation program began in 2018, mainly to select leading enterprises and play a leading role, with supportive policies as the main approach. According to the latest plan, during the 14th Five Year Plan period, a total of ten thousand specialized, refined, unique and new "little giant" enterprises will be cultivated. In terms of policy support, precise services such as financing and innovation have also been added, and the cultivation efforts are constantly increasing.

Although various levels of government have introduced a series of supportive policies in recent years, further optimization is still needed in terms of targeting and effectiveness. Multiple interviewed companies have expressed that some policies are not implemented accurately and directly, and the linkage between upper and lower levels of work is not close enough. Many recognized companies still have problems such as insufficient innovation cooperation and limited industrial supporting capabilities.

Alibaba suggests continuously optimizing policy design to ensure precise implementation. Accelerate the establishment and improvement of production and operation monitoring mechanisms for small and medium-sized enterprises, select key industries and key node enterprises, form an industrial chain map, use digital infrastructure such as cloud computing, big data, and the Internet of Things to build an instant feedback mechanism, help solve problems and policy demands encountered by enterprise development, and form an effective monitoring, feedback, and assistance mechanism. At the same time, tailored financial and tax preferential policies can be created for "specialized, refined, unique, and new" small and medium-sized enterprises, and a "specialized, refined, unique, and new" special project can be established to introduce digital industry finance and guide the formation of a more accurate and effective mechanism for reducing enterprise funds. In addition, establish high-level talent docking platforms for small and medium-sized enterprises by industry and region, support the supply of scientific researchers, and meet the innovation needs of enterprises.

The core essence of a specialized and innovative enterprise is to promote "innovation", which cannot be achieved without funding, technology, and talent. At present, there are clear support policies and application channels in terms of funding, but there is still a lack of guiding routes and supporting service institutions and facilities in terms of technical routes and talent cultivation.

Yonyou believes that in terms of technical services, it is necessary to conduct research and publish a list of technology and information service institutions and service providers as soon as possible, and develop a relatively standardized service application process and build an application platform, which should be published on official government service websites and other platforms. In terms of talent cultivation and delivery, we will leverage the power of universities and enterprises to significantly open up vocational training channels and provide certain cost subsidies to enterprises.

Dao Yiyun stated that it is necessary to formulate a specialized, refined, distinctive and new development strategy and a roadmap for technological development, attach importance to technical standards and specifications, optimize financial resource allocation in combination with policies and market forces, and support specialized, refined, distinctive and new enterprises to participate in multi-level regional capital markets such as the Third Board market.

Minglue Technology mentioned that many rapidly developing excellent enterprises cannot meet the standards of small and medium-sized enterprises, and these enterprises also need specialized and innovative policies for assistance due to their rapid development. Therefore, it is recommended to relax the application requirements for enterprises as appropriate.

As one of the "little giants" of specialized, refined, and innovative enterprises, Jutong Da believes that in order to further promote the cultivation of specialized, refined, and innovative enterprises, efforts need to be made in four aspects: improving the level of specialized production, enhancing the ability to produce high-quality products, improving the ability to develop distinctive features, and enhancing the ability to sustain innovation.

Yushi Technology suggests focusing on increasing the cultivation time for existing specialized and innovative small and giant enterprises, expanding the cultivation scale, and providing supporting policies. Provide support systems for the construction of industrial chains for specialized, refined, and new enterprises, and encourage leading chain enterprises to form innovation alliances with specialized, refined, and new enterprises. At the same time, it attracts technology companies to achieve cross-border integration of different industries through edge based innovation, forming new achievements and driving collaborative innovation and independent research and development of technology breakthroughs in the entire industry chain. In addition, for cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and autonomous driving, it can be considered to encourage the government to purchase certain new technological achievements as public services, and distribute them in the form of service vouchers to enterprises with application needs, including numerous small and medium-sized enterprises, to encourage them to try new technology applications and promote deep integration and innovation between cutting-edge technologies and the real economy.

In addition, Yidianyun, Xinfan HVAC, Daguan Data, Mingming Wanda, Nightingale Technology, and Mingtu Technology stated that there are relatively few supporting policies for specialized, refined, and innovative enterprises at present. It is recommended to provide more policy incentives for specialized, refined, and innovative enterprises in terms of taxation, talent introduction, financing, etc., and to develop cultivation plans and assistance measures.

Suggestions for Development Opportunities and Challenges

At present, specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises have ushered in unprecedented development opportunities. Whether on the supply side or the demand side, specialized, refined, unique, and new small and medium-sized enterprises have excellent growth potential. Coupled with policy promotion, specialized, refined, unique, and new small and medium-sized enterprises have already stood at the forefront of the trend. But how to carry out specialization, specialization, novelty and innovation to the end has also become a topic that these excellent small and medium-sized enterprises need to continue to think about.

Alibaba stated that the development opportunities for specialized, refined, and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises mainly lie in promoting the application of new technologies such as cloud computing and big data to vigorously develop specialized production, actively integrating digital infrastructure into the technology, products, and collaborative systems of large enterprises, forming a reasonable market division of labor with large enterprises, and enhancing the risk resistance ability of small and medium-sized enterprises; By utilizing the concept of data commercialization, we can accelerate the innovation of business and business models, and rapidly expand our own development space. The current challenges are mainly the uneven capabilities of small and medium-sized enterprises, the need to improve overall quality, the existence of unreasonable industrial organizational structure, and the need to further enhance the development vitality of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Yonyou believes that the opportunities for specialized and innovative enterprises are obvious. In addition to traditional high-tech enterprises, "specialized, refined, unique, and new" small and medium-sized enterprises have become outstanding and will receive more favor from the policy level. Cultivating and supporting "specialized, refined, unique, and new" related enterprises has become a strategic task designated by the national high-level. Various regions will also regard specialized, refined, unique, and new enterprises as the main support for listed reserve enterprises and key business expansion targets for financial institutions. At the same time, the biggest challenge is how to enter the ranks of "specialization, refinement, uniqueness, and innovation" through the strength of the enterprise itself, visionary strategies, and the optimization of the industrial environment, and continue to lead in the segmented industry. In addition, these enterprises also face some external environmental requirements and challenges, such as continuous declaration and promotion of intellectual property rights, green environmental protection of products and technologies, supply-demand symmetry of financing environment, and unfair market access environment.

For Nightingale Technology, with the support of policies, it will focus more on upgrading its specialized products and promoting its digital intelligent management to more industries. But various industries are also facing new situations and problems such as high customer acquisition costs and serious customer loss. This requires enterprises to continuously improve their innovation capabilities and ensure the quality and efficiency of their products. To form one's own value in the production and social operation chain of talent, focus, survival, and innovation.

Dao Yiyun frankly stated that with the continuous deepening of the technological revolution, small and medium-sized enterprises have ushered in a great opportunity for deep development. The ability to keep up with the times and upgrade and speed up is the biggest test for private enterprises themselves. Whether it is the talent dilemma or capital flow, they are all major challenges for enterprise innovation. Dao Yiyun believes that in this context, enterprises need to do a good job in digital transformation, make their operational management efficient and agile, better support business upgrading and deployment, enhance their flexibility and refinement, in order to cope with the ever-changing times.

In order to help small and medium-sized enterprises innovate, develop, and operate better, Alibaba has gradually built a digital infrastructure that serves the whole society, allowing millions of "specialized, refined, unique, and new" small and medium-sized enterprises from different industries to benefit from the development dividends of the digital economy. At present, Alibaba has cooperated with many "little giant" enterprises. In the future, we look forward to collaborating with more specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, mainly based on Alibaba's business operating system and digital means, to assist small and medium-sized enterprises in achieving data intelligence and network collaboration capabilities, and provide lasting impetus for the healthy development of specialized and innovative enterprises.

UFIDA refers to specialized, refined, and innovative enterprises as an important branch of its growing corporate customer base, and UFIDA has a dedicated BG service for this type of customer group. Among the current specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprises, nearly 20% of them are already UFIDA service and cooperative enterprises.

In this context, Jutong believes that enterprises should establish a specialized, refined, and innovative overall framework, and achieve independent and controllable key technologies through the application practice of digital transformation.

In terms of future cooperation direction, several "little giant" enterprises such as Yushi Technology, Daguan Data, and Xinfan HVAC have expressed their hope to strengthen collaborative innovation with leading chain main enterprises in the future, create innovation ecosystems in segmented fields, and continue to promote stable development of the industry.

In addition, companies such as Nightingale Technology and Mingtu Technology are also looking forward to strengthening cooperation between small and medium-sized enterprises and industry leaders, establishing a collaborative innovation industry ecosystem, and enhancing communication and exchanges with major business partners to jointly promote industry development.

In the foreseeable future, with the development trend of technological and industrial changes, more specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises will inevitably emerge, providing specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative services for their respective sub sectors in the long run, and forging their own path of "specialization, refinement, novelty, and innovation". They will grow from today's "little giants" to tomorrow's "big champions".
