Hubei subsidized enterprises engage in innovation with scientific instruments

After verification and publicity by third parties and professional agencies, 168 enterprises in Hubei Province enjoyed 2013 corporate R&D test subsidies, totaling 9.709 million yuan. At present, all the subsidies have been fully paid.

On November 15th, Premier Li Keqiang chaired a State Council executive meeting and decided to implement a universal fee reduction to further reduce the burden on enterprises, especially small and micro enterprises. According to the content of the meeting, it is expected to reduce the burden on enterprises and individuals by more than 40 billion yuan each year.

In fact, since the beginning of this year, the executive meeting of the State Council has repeatedly introduced measures to support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. For instance, the meeting on May 30 this year decided to further reduce and standardize enterprise-related fees and reduce the burden on enterprises; the deployment of the meeting on September 17th will further support small-scale enterprises. Micro-enterprise development promotes mass innovation in public entrepreneurship; the October 8 meeting decided to revise the government-approved list of investment projects again, and the November 5 meeting put forward streamlined pre-approval and standardization of intermediary services, all aimed at creating incentives for public entrepreneurship , a good environment for innovation.

As the Chinese economy has entered a new normal, the development of SMEs has also encountered some new problems. Some experts pointed out that the State Council's introduction of a more than 400 billion yuan fee reduction "gift pack" will undoubtedly help boost confidence in the development of small and medium-sized enterprises and better release the driving force for economic development.

In order to encourage SMEs to actively use financial instruments to purchase scientific instruments and equipment, increase the use of scientific equipment and reduce the cost of innovation. In addition to "reduction of fees," since 2013, the Hubei Provincial Department of Science and Technology has organized and implemented the "Science and Technology Enterprise Entrepreneurship and Cultivation Project" to "add subsidies" to the innovation and development of SMEs.

According to "Hubei Provincial Science and Technology Department, deepen the reform of the science and technology system, promote the implementation of the "Innovation in Hubei" construction implementation (Trial)" spirit. According to statistics, this year's Hubei Provincial Science and Technology Department adopted the first subsidy method for this year, taking out 10 million yuan from the special funds for scientific and technological conditions, and engaged in research and development activities such as new products, new technologies, and new technologies for high-tech enterprises and incubators in the province. The test fee is subsidized. The specific subsidy standards are: use the R&D test of the provincial instrument, calculate the test subsidy according to the 30% standard; use the R&D test of the equipment outside the province to calculate the test subsidy according to the 10% standard.

It is understood that the Hubei Provincial Department of Science and Technology plans to further increase the promotion and training of R&D testing and subsidy work for enterprises and strengthen the training of relevant personnel of the city's science and technology management departments and enterprises so that this policy can truly benefit the company.
