According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as of now, China has cultivated over 600000 technology-based and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, over 140000 specialized, refined, and new small and medium-sized enterprises, and over 17600 national level specialized, refined, and new "little giant" enterprises. These data outline a clear map of high-quality small and medium-sized enterprises in China, which is a concrete manifestation of the continuous optimization of China's innovation ecosystem. Small and medium-sized enterprises are an important force in promoting innovation, employment, and improving people's livelihoods. By the end of 2024, the number of registered small and medium-sized enterprises in China exceeded 60 million. Small and medium-sized enterprises are spread across various industries, contributing over 60% of China's GDP, over 70% of technological innovation, and over 80% of urban labor employment. Especially the specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprises that master "unique skills" are playing an increasingly important role in improving the stability of the industrial chain and supply chain. With technological innovation as the core, 'small chunks' contain' big energy '. From the glass used in China's space station with a thickness of less than 0.1 millimeters, to the engine turbine blades of the C919 aircraft... a series of key components on national key equipment come from specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises. In 2024, independent research and development accounted for 75.3% of effective invention patents for small and medium-sized enterprises. The "Little Giant" enterprise focuses on strategic emerging industries and future industries, persistently tackling key core technologies, striving to solve bottleneck problems, constantly filling gaps in related fields, and promoting the high-end development of the technology industry while achieving its own transformation, making core technologies more independent and controllable. Practice high-quality development and create a "new engine" for economic growth. The "Little Giant" enterprises account for 3.5% of the total number of industrial small and medium-sized enterprises above designated size in China, contributing 9.6% of operating income and 13.7% of profits. Specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises improve production efficiency through digital transformation, rely on new technologies and products to meet new market demands, and drive upstream and downstream supporting industries through cluster development, giving birth to new business models and injecting diverse driving forces into economic growth. The 'little giant' enterprises are still changing China's position in the global industrial chain. In an increasing number of segmented fields, specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises are breaking foreign monopolies, participating in international competition with cost-effective innovative products and services, and enhancing China's voice in the global industrial landscape. Milestones are also a new starting point. The Proposal of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the 15th Five Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development points out that promoting the specialized, refined, distinctive and innovative development of small and medium-sized enterprises and cultivating unicorn enterprises. In recent years, the Party and the government have continuously improved the gradient cultivation system for high-quality enterprises, strengthened policy support and services including finance, and ensured efficient allocation of various resources through precise drip irrigation, enabling enterprises at different growth stages to find their way forward and helping potential innovation entities stand out. Only when small and medium-sized enterprises are good can the Chinese economy thrive. Maintaining the determination to rely on "specialization", improve quality with "refinement", break through with "uniqueness", and empower with "novelty", small and medium-sized enterprises are writing more brilliant chapters of "little giants" supporting "big industries".
