Special research report on “specialization and innovation” in machinery industry: select “specialization and innovation” and “invisible champion” in equipment manufacturing industry

Key investment points

As a national strategy, specialization and innovation is committed to building an invisible champion for small and medium-sized enterprises

“Specialization and innovation” refers to small and medium-sized enterprises with the advantages of specialization, refinement, characteristics and novelty. The meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on July 30, 2021 raised the “development of specialized and new small and medium-sized enterprises” to the national strategic level for the first time. On December 17, 2021, the “14th five year plan for promoting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises” issued by the Ministry of industry and information technology clearly proposed to establish a “one hundred thousand” gradient cultivation system for small and medium-sized enterprises to guide small and medium-sized enterprises to the development direction of “specialization and innovation”, “little giant” and “invisible champion”.

The establishment of the Beijing stock exchange has further ushered in a new capital support platform for specialized and new small and medium-sized enterprises. Beijing stock exchange focuses on the industry positioning of small and medium-sized enterprises and emphasizes the deepening support for the innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises, so that more and more small and medium-sized enterprises and “specialized and new” enterprises can get the help of multi-level capital market.
