The implementation of the national pilot program for digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) began in 2023. From 2023 to 2025, the program will be carried out in three batches, encouraging pilot cities to take the lead in exploring effective models that support SME digital transformation, forming replicable and scalable experiences. As a second-batch pilot city, Xiangyang officially launched the selection process for SME digital transformation service providers in June this year. After several rounds of rigorous professional evaluations, the Xiangyang Bureau of Economy and Information Technology announced the results on August 12. Huagong Tech Co., Ltd. was successfully selected into the “Integrated Service Providers List” and the “Transformation Service Providers List” for Xiangyang SME Digital Transformation.
SMEs are a vital driving force behind the national economy. They play an important role in promoting innovation, creating employment, and improving livelihoods. In recent years, a series of policies have been introduced to encourage their development—from strengthening support for specialized and innovative SMEs, promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, advancing digital transformation, to facilitating collaborative innovation between large and small enterprises.
Xiangyang is a modern city with a long history, rich cultural heritage, and rapidly growing economy. As a national civilized city, livable city, and a model of scientific and technological innovation, it boasts a steadily advancing economy and an increasingly optimized industrial structure. With a focus on automotive, equipment manufacturing, and new energy industries, Xiangyang ranked among the top 50 advanced manufacturing cities in China in 2023.
Over the next two years, Xiangyang will identify key industry sectors for digital transformation, cultivate exemplary digital transformation enterprises, foster high-quality service providers, and develop a range of digital products and solutions characterized by being “small, fast, light, and precise.” Through pilot city demonstrations and experience sharing, the city aims to guide and accelerate the digital transformation of SMEs, significantly enhancing their digital capabilities and driving deep integration of the digital and real economies.
