The report to the 20th National Congress of the CPC proposes to accelerate the implementation of the innovation-driven breakthroughs strategy and the realization of sci-tech self-reliance and self-strengthening at higher levels. It also proposes to strengthen the dominant position of enterprises in technological innovation, give full play to the leading and supporting role of backbone technology-based enterprises and promote the deep integration of innovation chain, industrial chain, capital chain and talent chain. SZSE puts the implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy in a more prominent position, undertakes the mission of “gathering innovative capital, stimulating growth momentum” and gives full play to the functions of direct financing and resource allocation of the capital market. We strive to strengthen the dominant position of listed companies in technological innovation, with focus on three key areas of advanced manufacturing, digital economy and green and low-carbon industry and promote the realization of high-level self-reliance in science and technology.
In 2022, the SZSE-listed companies invested a total of CNY 663.37 billion in R&D, up 15.0% year on year; and the R&D intensity was 3.5%, up 0.2% year on year. Among them, 107 companies invested more than CNY 1 billion, and 6 companies invested more than CNY 10 billion. Meanwhile, the SZSE market has gathered a R&D team of more than 1.28 million people, with an average of more than 500 people per company, showing the remarkable effect of talent agglomeration. R&D funds continue to pour into the new economy and new industries. In 2022, nearly 70% of R&D funds were invested in three key areas of advanced manufacturing, digital economy and green and low-carbon industry. Innovative achievements continue to emerge. Nearly 60% of companies have independent intellectual property rights in their products and technologies and the independent and controllable ability of the industrial chain continues to increase. A group of SZSE-listed enterprises, such as Focus Media, Desay SV, Changchun High-tech and LY iTech, have forged ahead in an innovative and enterprising spirit from product technology innovation to optimization of production management mode, becoming “new forces” in the market that enable high-quality development driven by innovation.
On October 31, the third batch of centralized roadshow for SZSE-listed companies with the theme of “innovation-driven breakthroughs” was held offline in Shenzhen, Beijing and Shanghai simultaneously. During the roadshow, senior officers and core members of 19 listed companies that drive high-quality development by technological innovation, such as Focus Media, communicated with investors face to face. At that time, regarding their technological innovation, industrial upgrading, core competitiveness improvement and key research on core technologies, listed companies explained in detail their business performance, displayed their technological innovations, analyzed the industry development trend and talked about their development strategies. In addition, they actively responded to the concerns of investors and listened to the suggestions of investors. The concentrated roadshow was held synchronously through text and live video broadcast. Investors could log in to the “Easy IR” platform (http://irm.cninfo.com.cn) of SZSE for discussions under the “Cloud Interview” section.
In the next step, SZSE will continue to build a two-way communication bridge between investors and listed companies and enrich the communication channel mechanism. We will hold collective performance presentations and centralized roadshows to demonstrate the good performance of listed companies in implementing national strategies and achieving high-quality development, instruct investors to fully communicate with listed companies, further build consensus and enhance mutual trust. Looking forward to the active participation of investors.
