Software is the soul of the new generation of information technology, the foundation of the development of digital economy, and the key support for the construction of manufacturing power, network power and digital China. Recently, Hunan Provincial Department of industry and information technology released the “annual report on the development of software and information technology service industry in Hunan Province in 2021”, which showed that last year, the software business revenue of the province exceeded 100 billion yuan for the first time, reaching 114.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.8%, 4.1 percentage points higher than the national growth rate. Previously, Hunan was regarded as the “central depression” of electronic information, but the data show that Hunan’s software industry is rising rapidly, and science, technology and innovation have become the new driving force of Hunan’s economic development.
As the main position of Hunan’s software industry, 80% of software enterprises gather in Changsha. In 2020, the total number of software information enterprises in the city exceeded 30000, the main business income exceeded 100 billion yuan, and the industrial scale ranked second in central cities. It is estimated that by the end of 2022, the operating revenue of Changsha software industry will exceed 150 billion yuan.
“Software restart” has achieved remarkable results
Changsha software industry has a certain foundation. As early as the late 1990s, the creative intelligence software park in Changsha high tech Zone was one of the first four software industry bases in China. In 2020, Hunan will face the weakness of the software industry in the province, indicating that the establishment of China National Software And Service Company Limited(600536) famous cities and parks in the province lags behind; Lack of leading enterprises; Insufficient supply capacity of high-end software; The industrial ecological environment needs to be optimized; The shortage of high-end talents and other shortcomings are obvious. At the same time, Hunan software industry revitalization plan (2021-2025) was issued, which proposed to build Hunan into a leading software innovation leading area, industrial agglomeration area and application pilot area in China by the end of the 14th five year plan. It is planned that by 2025, the software business revenue of the province will exceed 300 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of more than 30%, and strive to enter the top ten in China; There are 4000 Software Enterprises above Designated Size, and more than 300 software enterprises with a revenue of more than 100 million yuan; There are 500000 software employees.
In response to the call, Changsha sounded the horn of “software starting again”, and Changsha software industry quickly ushered in the rise. In 2020, a number of major projects such as CSDN national headquarters, Wondershare Technology Group Co.Ltd(300624) second headquarters, Wensi Haihui regional headquarters, wealth management network headquarters industrial base, baidu arm cloud mobile phone, Sangfor Technologies Inc(300454) network security and cloud computing R & D base, Tianjin Feiteng and Chuang mengle valley also settled in Changsha one after another. In 2021, more than 20 projects were introduced, including Shumei technology R & D and innovation headquarters, huitongda Hunan Jiangxi regional headquarters and Xincheng rejuvenation national headquarters, and more than 20 major projects such as Iflytek Co.Ltd(002230) , Huawei headquarters and Digital Economy Research Institute of Peking University were actively promoted. A number of industry leading enterprises such as Willfar Information Technology Co.Ltd(688100) , CICA software, Talkweb Information System Co.Ltd(002261) , Chuangzhi Heyu, Changsha Jingjia Microelectronics Co.Ltd(300474) , Hunan Goke Microelectronics Co.Ltd(300672) have emerged in Changsha. The strength of Changsha software industry is gradually stepping to a new level.
In addition, Changsha actively seizes new opportunities for the development of digital economy, takes the “three intelligences and one core” industry as the leading industry, and has certain characteristics and advantages in the fields of artificial intelligence, industrial Internet, intelligent manufacturing, intelligent networked vehicles, network security and digital governance. In 2021, Changsha’s total digital economy is expected to be close to 400 billion yuan, ranking 12th among the top 100 digital economy cities in 2021, and ranking among the new first tier cities of digital economy.
Actively create China National Software And Service Company Limited(600536) famous city
The software industry revitalization plan of Hunan Province (2021-2025) also proposes that Changsha will be the “leading goose” in the revitalization of Hunan’s software industry, with the goal of creating a China National Software And Service Company Limited(600536) famous city and leading the development of the province’s software industry. It is understood that Changsha has fully started the creation of China National Software And Service Company Limited(600536) famous cities. The industrial ecology of “one park, five districts and two mountains” has accelerated with Changsha high tech Zone (Changsha Software Park) as the core area, Furong district, Tianxin District, Yuelu District, Kaifu District and Yuhua District as the expansion area, and Yuelu Mountain University Science and technology city and malanshan video Cultural Innovation Industrial Park as the characteristic area.
China launched the creation of famous software cities in 2008. As of December 2021, a total of 14 cities in China have been identified as China National Software And Service Company Limited(600536) famous cities, namely Nanjing, Jinan, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Wuhan, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Qingdao and Wuxi. Among them, Suzhou, Wuhan, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Qingdao and Wuxi are famous cities with China National Software And Service Company Limited(600536) characteristics. According to the administrative measures for the establishment of China National Software And Service Company Limited(600536) famous cities (for Trial Implementation) issued by the Ministry of industry and information technology in 2017, there are strict index requirements for the establishment of China National Software And Service Company Limited(600536) famous cities, such as the industrial scale is not less than 100 billion yuan, the industrial development speed is not less than the national industrial development speed, or the industrial increment is not less than 5% of the national industrial increment. At the same time, different requirements are also made for “comprehensive China National Software And Service Company Limited(600536) famous city” and “characteristic China National Software And Service Company Limited(600536) famous city”. It is also proposed to strictly control the number of China National Software And Service Company Limited(600536) famous cities, and the number of comprehensive China National Software And Service Company Limited(600536) famous cities shall not exceed 10 in principle. The China National Software And Service Company Limited(600536) famous cities are dynamically evaluated every two years to determine the China National Software And Service Company Limited(600536) famous city series grade of each city. It is worth mentioning that the establishment and implementation of the application system focuses on the “creation” process rather than direct award. For example, Xiamen, Suzhou and Wuhan began to apply for creation in 2013 and won the license in 2018. The creation process lasted five years.
Looking at the whole country, the development of software industry in Central China is still relatively weak. According to the data of the statistical bulletin of software and information technology service industry in 2021 issued by the Ministry of industry and information technology, in 2021, the software business revenue of the eastern, central, Western and northeast regions was 7616.4 billion yuan, 461.8 billion yuan, 1158.6 billion yuan and 262.7 billion yuan respectively, and the central region accounted for only 4.9% of the total revenue of the country. At present, only Wuhan is a China National Software And Service Company Limited(600536) famous city in the central region. Hefei and Zhengzhou have also proposed to create China National Software And Service Company Limited(600536) famous cities. In addition, Changsha has fully started the creation of China National Software And Service Company Limited(600536) famous cities, and the software industry in the central region is expected to grow rapidly in the future.
