CNSpecialized, special, new application, full-process science popularization
When many small and medium-sized business owners consult on issues related to specialized, specialized and new declarations, the most common problem they encounter is that they are not clear about the complete declaration path, or they are stuck in the preconditions and do not meet the standards, or the application materials do not meet the specifications, or they miss the declaration window., and ultimately missed the opportunity for policy support. Today, we will proceed from official standards and thoroughly sort out the entire process of specialization, special and new application to help everyone avoid common declaration traps.
First of all, we must clarify the gradient cultivation logic of specialization and innovation. At present, the cultivation of specialization and innovation enterprises in my country is divided into three levels. The first level is innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, which is the front threshold for applying for specialization and innovation small and medium-sized enterprises. The second level is specialization and innovation small and medium-sized enterprises, and the third level is specialization and innovation "little giant" enterprises. Enterprises need to complete the warehousing of innovative small and medium-sized enterprises before they can apply for higher-level specialization and innovation qualifications.
There are mainly three dimensions in the preconditions for warehousing innovative small and medium-sized enterprises. The first is the basic conditions. Enterprises need to be registered in China for more than two years and fall within the scope of the classification standards for small and medium-sized enterprises. There have been no major safety or safety incidents in the past three years. Major quality accidents, serious environmental violations, and scientific research dishonesty have not been included in the list of business abnormalities and the list of seriously dishonest entities. The second is the innovation ability indicator, which requires enterprises to have 1 or more intellectual property rights related to major products within the validity period, or have received national or provincial science and technology awards in the past three years, or have participated in the formulation of international standards, national standards, and industry standards. The third is the growth indicator. The total R & D expenses in the previous year accounted for no less than 1% of the total operating income, or the total R & D expenses in the previous year were no less than 1 million yuan. At the same time, the total operating income in the previous year was more than 10 million yuan, or The total operating income in the previous year was less than 10 million yuan, but the total amount of new equity financing (paid-in amount by qualified institutional investors) in the past two years has reached more than 20 million yuan. As long as you meet the requirements of these three dimensions, you can apply to enter the innovative small and medium-sized enterprise database.
Next is the rigid threshold for applying for specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises. On the basis of meeting the conditions of innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, the following core requirements are also required to be met. The first is to engage in specific market segments for more than 2 years. The second is the previous year. The total R & D expenses shall not be less than 1 million yuan, and account for no less than 2% of the total operating income. The third is that the total operating income in the previous year was more than 10 million yuan, or the total operating income in the previous year was less than 10 million yuan. However, the total amount of new equity financing in the past two years has reached more than 20 million yuan. The fourth is to have 2 or more intellectual property rights related to the main products within the validity period, or to meet any of the following conditions, and have obtained national-level and provincial science and technology awards in the past three years., participated in the formulation of international standards, national standards, and industry standards, and have recognized R & D institutions at or above the provincial and ministerial levels. In the past three years, the total amount of new equity financing (the amount paid by qualified institutional investors) has reached more than 50 million yuan. In addition, differentiated local indicators will also be set up in some regions, and enterprises in Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta region also need to meet additional requirements related to their territories.
In terms of the application process, online application is now carried out across the country through the "National Gradient Cultivation Platform for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises". The specific filling steps are divided into five steps. The first step is to register and log in the enterprise. After entering the platform, select the region where it is located, and fill in the basic information of the enterprise to complete real-name authentication. The second step is to apply for self-assessment for innovative small and medium-sized enterprises. Fill in the basic information of the enterprise, intellectual property rights, R & D investment, operating income and other relevant information according to the platform prompts, upload supporting materials and submit them. The local industry and information technology department will conduct review. After passing the review, they will be put into storage and become innovative small and medium-sized enterprises. The third step is to apply for specialization and new products. After warehousing, during the application window period, click on the application entry for specialization and new small and medium-sized enterprises to improve the enterprise information according to system requirements, focusing on filling in market segment share, R & D investment details, core technology advantages, industrial chain supporting status and other content. The fourth step is to upload materials. The necessary supporting materials that need to be submitted include the company's business license, financial audit report for the past three years, intellectual property certificate, R & D investment certificate, product market share certificate, relevant qualification and honor certificates, etc. All materials need to be stamped with the company's official seal, scanned into PDF format and uploaded. The fifth step is to submit it for review. After completing all information filling and uploading of materials, it will be submitted to the local Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. After preliminary review, review, publicity and other links, the selection list will be finally determined.
Regarding the application cycle and review rules, specialized, specialized and new applications at the national level are generally carried out once or twice a year, and various localities will set specific application window periods based on actual conditions. Taking Shanghai as an example, usually in the first half of each year, there is one application opportunity in the first half of the year from March to April and the second half of the year. The application time in other regions of the Yangtze River Delta is also basically concentrated in these two time periods. Enterprises need to pay attention to the official notices from the local Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in advance to avoid missing the application time. The review process adopts a quantitative scoring system, with a full score of 100 points, and a score of 60 or above is considered qualified. Among them, innovation ability accounts for 30 points, growth accounts for 25 points, professionalism accounts for 25 points, and refined management accounts for 20 points. During the review process, the focus will be placed on verifying the authenticity of the enterprise's application materials. Once fraud is discovered, the application qualification will be cancelled and no re-application will be allowed within three years.
Many companies are prone to several common problems during the application process. First, if the preconditions are not met, they will rush to declare without completing the warehousing of innovative small and medium-sized enterprises first, resulting in the application being directly rejected. Second, material preparation is not standardized, R & D expense accounting is unclear, intellectual property rights are not highly correlated with the main business, and market share proof lacks authoritative data support, which will lead to points deducted. Third, the application window is missed. Many companies wait until the application notice is issued before preparing materials. Often, there is not enough time and can only wait for the next application.
