“I personally understand that Microsoft’s business model is to sell flour, but no customer can eat flour, right?” Zhu Yiming, operation director of Microsoft innovation alliance, told the 21st Century Business Herald that at present, more than 95% of Microsoft’s annual revenue comes from partners. “Flour will be made into steamed bread, bread and noodles in the future, so the enterprises producing ‘steamed bread, bread and noodles’ are our partners, and we empower them.”
Zhu Yiming said that through a project called “Microsoft innovation empowerment and ecological acceleration plan”, Microsoft innovation center carries out unified recruitment and selection throughout the country, accelerates 15-20 high-quality projects in each phase, and supports more than 20 projects to realize transformation and upgrading. Most of these projects are finally “used” in traditional manufacturing industries. At the same time, thanks to the deep industrial foundation of the free trade zone and even the whole Jiangsu Province, the innovation center is committed to building an innovation ecology. “In September this year, the third phase of acceleration camp was successfully opened, promoting the implementation of acceleration projects, providing 1v1 acceleration services, and reserving the fourth phase of acceleration projects.”

It settled in the park in 2018. Its founder Tong Xianming once served as the vice president of Microsoft Suzhou Research Institute. With technology driven as the core, Meineng Huaneng provides one-stop AI solutions for enterprises and institutions based on the application of core AI platform technologies such as natural language processing (NLP) and intelligent interaction.
“Generally speaking, natural language processing technology can liberate everyone from heavy and time-consuming work and save a lot of time and labor cost.” Tong Xianming took the processing of “business lease contract” as an example. Once a customer needed to read out the key information in the business lease contract, but it involved tens of thousands of contracts, which originally took a month to read manually. “It takes only three days to complete the whole with our system. It is difficult to imagine the improvement of efficiency.”
At present, the “one window acceptance and integrated service” and the “single window” mode of overseas investment filing are an innovative exploration carried out by Suzhou free trade area around the overseas investment management mode.

In June 2020, the Management Committee of Suzhou Industrial Park awarded the honor of “listed nursery” to sea housekeeper.
“The pain point of the shipping industry is not that the freight rate is high or slow, but that the industry information is opaque and can not be shared in real time. In particular, under the covid-19 epidemic last year, all offline industries were greatly impacted, and the international logistics industry is no exception, but it undoubtedly further promoted the unmanned and information construction within the industry The importance of. ” Zhang Peng, operation director of sea housekeeper, told the 21st Century Business Herald that sea housekeeper responded to this change by providing freight forwarding enterprises with solutions to quickly realize digital transformation.

As more and more small and medium-sized enterprises obtain financing and listing, Suzhou free trade area is accelerating to become one of the free trade areas with the most distinctive background of opening up, the most prominent industrial advantages, the most active market players and the strongest innovation momentum in China. The number of listed companies and securitization rate of Suzhou Industrial Park will continue to be in the forefront of the country.
