According to the "2023 Global Innovation Index (gii)" released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, Chongqing has been on the list for five consecutive years since it was shortlisted for the top 100 global city innovation clusters in 2019, ranking 44th, and its ranking continues to rise. .
Chongqing, this popular inland city, is constantly emerging as a "city of science and technology" with a new look. You know, as an old industrial city, Chongqing did not have many out-of-market technology companies in the past.
But now, if you look around, you can see the star technology companies and disruptive cutting-edge technologies that have been born frequently in Chongqing: Mofang Precision, the world’s first precision manufacturing company to achieve 2-micron 3D printing precision; the first large-scale 3D printing company in inland China The photomask production equipment investment project has been launched in Chongqing; at the beginning of 2024, Chongqing's new energy vehicle brands Zhijie, Deep Blue and Avita have all entered the top ten domestic new energy vehicle sales...
This is the surging development of Chongqing's new quality productivity The tip of the iceberg is also a glimpse of how Chongqing has begun to become the “source of science and technology innovation” based on local conditions.
So, how did Chongqing achieve leaps and bounds and iterations in a short period of time?
"Service power" brings "development power"
Allows enterprises to travel in Chongqing with ease
In Chongqing, many entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs have an intuitive feeling: the policies are friendly and the services are comprehensive and meticulous. Landing, investing, and starting a business in Chongqing are not only highly efficient and effective, but also easy to find a sense of "presence."
“In the three years since Morocco landed in Chongqing, various local government departments have provided great help. Whether it is business license application, tax guidance, or assistance in contacting upstream and downstream local leading enterprises, including the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, Economic and Information Technology Commission and Commercial Commission. Departments at all levels within the company, as well as relevant persons in charge of Chongqing Liangjiang Collaborative Innovation Zone, have given dedicated guidance, which has greatly shortened the time." Yang Fei, senior vice president of Chongqing Mofang Precision, said that in 2021, Mofang Precision was selected by Chongqing Youwo for investment promotion Due to attractive conditions, the company's headquarters was moved to Liangjiang New District, Chongqing.

The toolbox of Chongqing service companies is full of creative tools. For example, in order to provide corporate services on a regular basis and help companies solve practical difficulties, since last year, Chongqing Liangjiang New District has launched a "double commissioner" system for corporate services, matching 695 service specialists for 2,411 companies in the area, and providing assistance to all companies encountered in their development.

Various departments in Chongqing also act as "partners" on the way of enterprise growth, thinking about the enterprise's thoughts, proactively paving the way for the enterprise's long-term development, providing value-added services to the enterprise, and helping the enterprise to quickly integrate into Chongqing's industrial chain.
For example, in response to industrial development needs, Chongqing continues to build innovation exchange platforms, in-depth cooperation platforms, and government-enterprise communication platforms to effectively promote the integration of industrial development needs and technological innovation talent needs. The Chongqing Municipal Economic and Information Technology Commission and the Commercial Commission actively organize Chongqing enterprises to participate in the Chongqing-Hong Kong Cooperation and Investment Symposium, organically integrating Hong Kong’s producer services and Chongqing’s manufacturing industry, and creating space for local enterprises to unleash their growth potential.
The Industrial Financial Services Office of Chongqing Economic and Information Technology Commission carries out the reform of commercial value credit loans for small and medium-sized enterprises from multiple aspects such as top-level design, model construction, platform construction, data collection and data security. For enterprises, not only "credit" can be "realized", but the intangible "knowledge value", "brand influence", etc. can also be transformed into the enterprise's pre-credit line through big data models. Enterprises can withdraw cash at any time based on pre-granted credit to improve their financing capabilities.
In Chongqing Liangjiang Collaborative New Area, in order to promote industrial development, technological innovation, financial services and other business-friendly policies "into the door" and "into the heart", the "Entrepreneur Salon" activities have been normalized, and various "online + offline" methods have been implemented. Combined activities are ongoing every month. For the "Four Top Enterprises" and key enterprises with great growth potential, "one-on-one" service specialists and liaison specialists have also been set up to integrate various elements such as government affairs, finance, water, electricity and telecommunications to provide enterprises with policy declaration, talent Comprehensive services such as employment and living facilities.
Drive innovation with strategic goals
Gather new quality productivity
Behind the "one heart" of Chongqing's service enterprises is the opportunity to adjust the world's industrial structure. A complete and continuous set of decision-making systems, industrial layouts, future visions, etc. are tightly coupled , efficient operation.
Chongqing has made strategic arrangements from the top: promoting original innovation, technological innovation and industrial innovation in an integrated manner.
Currently, Chongqing is actively implementing the "416" technological innovation strategy, which means to focus on building four major scientific and technological innovation highlands, namely digital technology, life and health, new materials, and green and low carbon, and actively develop artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing, In 16 important strategic areas such as big data, the industrial structure continues to be dynamically adjusted and iteratively upgraded.

A series of major measures are to vigorously promote technological innovation and accelerate the development of new productive forces. Scientific and technological innovation is the source of new productivity. Only by adapting to local conditions, attracting innovative companies to gather, and letting science and technology play a leading role can we ignite new energy for new quality production.
Take Mofang Precision as an example. As a model of original innovation of "from 0 to 1", it is the world's first ultra-precision 3D printing solution provider to conquer 2 micron level printing accuracy and realize industrial application. It is also my country's leader in 3D printing. One of the few companies with global leading advantages in the field. The introduction of
to companies like Mofang Precision reflects the fact that Chongqing and Liangjiang New Area are seizing the opportunity of a new round of world industrial restructuring, asking for answers from science and innovation, asking for living water from the source, promoting the emergence of more source innovation results, and creating original The source of innovation and determination to actively integrate into the global industrial system.
serves top talents
provides science and technology enterprises with the "urban testing ground" closest to the market
