Small and medium-sized enterprises are a new force in national economic and social development. They are an important force in expanding employment, improving people’s livelihood, and promoting entrepreneurship and innovation. They play an important role in stabilizing growth, promoting reform, adjusting structure, benefiting people’s livelihood, and preventing risks. The Party Central Committee and the State Council have always attached great importance to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and have introduced a series of policies and measures in finance, taxation, finance, business environment, public services, etc., and achieved positive results. At the same time, with the changes in the international and domestic market environment, small and medium-sized enterprises are facing increasingly prominent problems such as rising production costs, difficult and expensive financing, and insufficient innovation and development capabilities, which have attracted great attention.
In order to promote the healthy development of small and medium-sized enterprises, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the “Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises”; six departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the “On Accelerating the Cultivation and Development of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises”. Guiding Opinions for High-Quality Manufacturing Enterprises” and so on, further clarifying the direction and measures. During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, it is necessary to cultivate one million innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, 100,000 provincial-level “specialized, special and innovative” enterprises, 10,000 specialized, special and innovative “little giant” enterprises and 1,000 “single champion” enterprises. . We strive to have the gradient cultivation pattern basically take shape by 2025, better promote the upgrading of the industrial base, modernize the industrial chain, and help the real economy move towards high-quality development.
Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the third batch of 2,930 specialized and new “little giant” companies. As of now, the number of “little giant” companies in our country has reached 4,762. As leaders among small and medium-sized enterprises, “little giant” enterprises play a key linking role in promoting the transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises from small to large, from large to strong, and from strong to excellent. Among them, there are many outstanding small and medium-sized enterprises in the textile industry.
Small and medium-sized enterprises are the main body of the textile industry. During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, my country’s textile industry will further promote the high-quality development of “technology, fashion, and green” in the industry on the basis of basically realizing the goal of becoming a textile power, and accelerate its move towards the mid-to-high end of the global value chain. To this end, the Industry Development Department and the Science and Technology Development Department of the China National Textile and Apparel Industry Federation have released the “14th Five-Year Plan” Development Action Plan for “Specialized, Specialized and New” Development of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in the Textile Industry, aiming to gather the strength and consensus of all parties more broadly and provide a solid foundation for the textile industry. The innovative growth and high-quality development of small and medium-sized enterprises in the industry creates a good environment to support and guide small and medium-sized enterprises in the textile industry to follow the development path of “specialization, specialization, innovation”.
So, how to take the road of “specialization, specialization and innovation”? During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, how should small and medium-sized enterprises in the textile industry find the right development direction?
Focusing on making up for shortcomings, Chongqing accelerated 33 key industrial chains to “replenish and strengthen chains”; Tianjin organized multiple “link linking” special action matchmaking meetings; Xinjiang extended, repaired and built links , Strengthen the chain as the main direction to cultivate and build a group of core enterprises in the industrial chain… Recently, “replenishing the chain and strengthening the chain” has become a keyword for work in various places.
The recently held meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen scientific and technological innovation and the resilience of industrial and supply chains, strengthen basic research, promote applied research, carry out special actions to reinforce and strengthen chains, and speed up the resolution of the “stuck neck” problem. , develop specialized and new small and medium-sized enterprises.
How to make up for it? How to be strong? Experts believe that it is necessary to analyze the industrial chain and supply chain, accurately design and implement precise policies, lay a solid foundation, strengthen advantageous clusters, make up for outstanding shortcomings and weaknesses, and further enhance the resilience and competitiveness of the industrial chain.
What is a complementary chain? “It’s about making up for the shortcomings and weaknesses to ensure that the chain is not ‘dropped’ at critical times.” said Xiao Yaqing, Minister of Industry and Information Technology.
Since last year, the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has conducted a practical stress test on my country’s industrial and supply chains. From a practical point of view, it withstood the pressure at critical moments. “However, in this process, it was also revealed that we still have some shortcomings and weaknesses in the industrial chain and supply chain. Therefore, we have carefully and comprehensively sorted out and analyzed the 41 major categories of industry and the following sub-categories. , draw a map of key industrial chains, find blank spots, and identify weaknesses and shortcomings.” Xiao Yaqing said.
Pan Helin, executive director of the Institute of Digital Economy at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, believes that chain replenishment targets weak links in the industrial chain. Currently, there are shortcomings in some of my country’s industrial chains. Some technologically difficult industrial chain nodes have fewer domestic participants and are highly dependent on external technologies. There is an urgent need to fill the breakpoints of the industrial chain through autonomy and solve the “stuck neck” problem.
It is understood that during the “13th Five-Year Plan” period, my country has deployed 17 national manufacturing innovation centers. The next step will be to focus on industrial innovation and further accelerate the construction of a national manufacturing innovation center. Give full play to the enthusiasm of local enterprises and follow the principles of marketization and internationalization to make my country’s manufacturing innovation system more complete and its innovation capabilities further enhanced.
Forging long boards to enhance initiative “The so-called strong chain means further forging long boards, making them longer and longer, and enhancing development initiative.” Xiao Yaqing said.
Forged long plates must maintain the integrity of the industrial chain and the advantages of scale. Our country is the only country in the world that has all the industrial categories in the United Nations industrial classification. The traditional industrial chain is large and wide-ranging. The total number of products produced by many traditional industrial chains ranks first in the world. Therefore, we strive to improve the traditional industrial chain and maintain the industrial chain. Integrity is very important.
Forging long plates should promote the transformation and upgrading of the entire industrial chain of traditional industries, and should also focus on the new generation of information technology, new materials, new processes, new equipment, as well as emerging industrial fields such as aviation, aerospace, and ocean, and vigorously develop Industrial digitization and digital industrialization, proactively layout future industries, and take the initiative in industrial development.
For long plate forging, we must also optimize the layout of domestic industrial clusters and strive to create a number of world-class industrial clusters. “Only by developing in clusters can industries better leverage their scale advantages, industrial supporting advantages, and innovation advantages.” said Xu Zhaoyuan, deputy director of the Industrial Economic Research Department of the Development Research Center of the State Council.
Forged long plates should also accelerate the global layout of my country’s industrial chain and supply chain. “We need to support powerful companies in going global and deeply integrating into the global industrial chain system, building a mutually beneficial community of industrial and supply chain interests, and creating new advantages in international cooperation and competition,” said Tian Yulong, chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Special actions are urgent
“Special actions to replenish and strengthen chains are an important part of the supply-side structural reform under the new situation.” Nanjing University Yangtze River Liu Zhibiao, president of the Institute of Industrial Economics, believes that the current supply-side structural contradictions are no longer mainly manifested in issues such as overcapacity, destocking, and deleveraging, but are mainly manifested in certain key products, core technologies, and other issues in the industrial chain. Bottlenecks and shortcomings in key links. If these bottlenecks and shortcomings cannot be solved through special actions to strengthen the chain, not only will enterprises in the industrial chain have difficulties in normal production and operation, economic growth will be retarded, and high-quality development will become a “castle in the air.”
At present, various places are already taking active actions. For example, Tianjin recently issued the “Three-Year Action Plan for High-Quality Development of Industrial Chains (2021-2023)”, which clearly states that it will strengthen 7 “strong chains”, expand 2 “new chains”, and extend 3 “short chains” , and has arranged the first batch of mature projects for these industrial chains, with a total investment of 348.1 billion yuan. For another example, Chongqing recently issued the “Key and Important Technical Requirements for 33 Industrial Chains Focused on Development during the “14th Five-Year Plan””, proposing reinforcing measures for the existing technical weaknesses in the industrial chain one by one.
Pan Helin believes that judging from the practices of replenishing and strengthening chains in various places, they are all working to solve the financing problems of key industrial chain node companies, and capital is paying more and more attention to key technology companies. In addition, various regions have combined their own regional industrial characteristics to launch key industry support policies suitable for the region, and promote the development of key industries through new infrastructure and investment.
In order to strengthen the chain, special attention should be paid to cultivating “specialized, specialized and innovative” small and medium-sized enterprises. Liu Zhibiao said that certain key products, core technologies, and key links that may be “stuck” in the industrial chain are often provided by “specialized, special and innovative” enterprises with the potential of “little giants”.
Currently, our country is vigorously supporting the development of “specialized, specialized, innovative” small and medium-sized enterprises. “Only when these enterprises are fully developed and a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises can form their own core competitiveness and cultivate their own characteristic products can the quality and level of my country’s industrial and supply chains be fundamentally improved,” Xu Zhaoyuan said.
Textile Seven Action Directions
In order to promote and promote the better development of small and medium-sized enterprises in the textile industry, “Specialization, Specialization and Innovation”, “Fourteenth” The Five “Action Plan for the Development of “Specialization, Specialty and Innovation” for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in the Textile Industry” proposes seven major directions of action, which will protect more enterprises with the potential of “little giants”.
