How can the government be a good "shop assistant"?, Nearly 80% of the private enterprises in this street of Shanghai are enterprises | economy | government
Recently, the 2023 Xuhui Xietu Street Roundtable Conference on Promoting High Quality Development of Private Economy was held at the Smart Tower on the West Bank of Xuhui Binjiang. Fifteen private enterprises were awarded the "High Quality Private Enterprise Award" and the "Outstanding Economic Contribution Award for Private Enterprises".
The private economy in Xietu Street has developed rapidly, with over 1000 household managed enterprises, of which about 780 are private enterprises, accounting for 78%. They have become the main force contributing to the regional economy in Xietu. At the same time, as of the end of last year, Xuhui District had approved a total of 203 Shanghai Science and Technology Small Giant Enterprises, of which 152 were private enterprises, accounting for about 75%; There are 802 high-tech enterprises in the entire region, including 642 private enterprises, accounting for approximately 80%. From a regional perspective, private enterprises have become an indispensable and important force in the economic development of Xuhui District.
Supporting private enterprises to boost confidence and promote high-quality development is worth exploring how the government can be a good "shop assistant". At this meeting, Xietu Street collaborated with the Shanghai Small and Medium sized Enterprise Development Service Center to establish the Shanghai Enterprise Service Cloud Xietu Street Enterprise Service Workstation. Through "one-stop policy services," "one-stop professional services," and "one-stop appeal services," technology is empowered to timely identify and analyze enterprise bottlenecks and difficulties.
The reporter learned at the meeting that in recent years, some unexpected factors have had a significant impact on the production and operation, financing and credit of enterprises, and some small and medium-sized private enterprises with weak resilience and risk resistance have been more affected by external shocks. From the perspective of market environment, the uncertainty and instability trend in the international market has increased, and some industries have experienced weak consumer demand and a decline in corporate orders.
In the face of the difficulties in development, problems in progress, and troubles in growth faced by enterprises, in recent years, Xietu Street has built a mutual assistance platform to address the common problems and demands encountered by private enterprises in their development. Relevant functional departments and professional institutions have been invited to become high-quality economic development partners of Xietu Street, focusing on areas such as business legalization, tax services, market supervision, financial benefits for enterprises, and health services. Consensus and joint efforts have been formed to provide precise services to enterprises in the jurisdiction.
At this meeting, the cooperation partners for high-quality economic development in the Xietu Street area were officially launched. In the future, Xietu Street will work together with five business partners, including the Xuhui District Prosecutor's Office, the District Taxation Bureau, the District Market Supervision Bureau, the Xuhui Branch of the Bank of Shanghai, and the Street Community Health Service Center, to make good use of the enterprise service workstation platform and answer questions for private enterprises in the jurisdiction.
It is reported that in the next step, Xuhui District will continue to focus on the four strategic industrial clusters of digital economy, life and health, cultural creativity, and modern finance, focusing on new tracks such as green and low-carbon, metaverse, and intelligent terminals. It will leverage the advantages of the sharp sense of the private economy market and flexible development methods, accelerate the development towards "specialization, precision, novelty" and "high precision, and sharpness", and enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises. Xietu Street will build more public service platforms, promote the opening of more major scientific and technological projects, important application scenarios, and large enterprise supply chains to private institutions, and pave the way for the transformation of private enterprises.
