On the morning of July 15th, with the two regional competitions of Nanjing and Changzhou, the seventh "Maker China" and the 2022 Jiangsu SME Innovation and Entrepreneurship Contest announced the official opening. A total of more than 700 projects have been registered in this competition, and the number has reached a record high, and the fiery "double innovation" atmosphere can be seen.

"Double Innovation" has become an important starting point for implementing the strategy of innovation -driven development, promoting the supply -side structural reforms, and cultivating new engines for new kinetic energy and new engines for national economic development. Focusing on the "double innovation", the Party Central Committee and the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have successively introduced a series of support policies to continuously optimize the dual -innovation environment, reduce dual -innovation costs, stimulate dual -innovation vitality, and build a harmonious dual -innovation ecosystem. In order to implement the work deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly launched the "Maker China" SME Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition with the Ministry of Finance. Promote the healthy development of small and medium -sized enterprises. The competition has previously successfully held for six sessions, and companies that stand out in Jiangsu Province through the competition often rely on outstanding quality and potential, and have repeatedly achieved good results in the national finals.

The annual double innovation competition is not only a stage for SMEs to show innovation vitality, but also the starting point for government service enterprises to innovate. Affected by the changes in international economic and trade environment and epidemic conditions, although the development of SMEs has been greatly affected, the number of projects registered this year is still enthusiastic. Without shrinking, the internal increase and vitality of entrepreneurial innovation have not weakened.

It is reported that the seventh "Maker China" and the 2022 Jiangsu Small and Medium Enterprise Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition will consist of three parts: regional, special competitions and finals. The regional competition will be carried out in 13 districts and cities in the province and completed before the end of July; the special competition is divided into five topics, including high -end equipment manufacturing, large health, new materials, electronic information and maker. A total of 50 projects were selected for the finals of the finals; the finals will be held in September, and the various awards of this competition will be finalized, and 16 projects are recommended to be shortlisted for Fortune 500.

From the perspective of registration, this event shows the characteristics of "subject excellence, wide fields, innovation strong, and real content". Registration for enterprises (teams) has strong research and development innovation strength, high proportion of specialized new SMEs, and wide distribution in the fields of participating projects. It covers key industrial groups such as high -end equipment manufacturing, electronic information, new materials, new energy, new energy, biomedicine, large health, and industrial Internet. After the game, the main evaluation committee will also interact with the participants from the aspects of project feasibility, business models and market prospects, and provide professional suggestions for the project.

The relevant person in charge of the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology stated that many star companies have been out of the past few competitions, such as: Nanjing Yuanluo Xinxin Technology Co., Ltd. won the first prize of the provincial enterprise group last year, and the finals of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology were in the top 50; Changzhou Le Olympic Medical Technology Co., Ltd. won the second prize in 2020, and was selected as a potential unicorn enterprise in the province in 2021. By participating in the competition, companies and makers have gained good results in investment and financing docking, expert technical guidance, and publicity, and effectively helped the development of start -ups and became the "catalyst" for the acceleration of the enterprise's dual innovation process. Innovation and entrepreneurship have always been on the road. I believe that as long as there are partners to fight side by side, there are government help to push together, and there will be social drums.
