Not long ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at a private enterprise symposium that the development prospects of the private economy are broad and there is great potential. In Lishui, the private economy is also becoming an important force in regional development with innovation as its wing, cluster as its basis and service as its shield. The region achieved a regional GDP of 111.06 billion yuan, the highest growth rate in the city; there were 784 industrial enterprises above the designated size, ranking second in the city, with a total output value of 118.35 billion yuan; 11,800 new market entities were added… On the Lishui 2024 report card, private enterprises, as the “main force”, made an indelible contribution. From cutting-edge breakthroughs in scientific and technological innovation, to the vigorous development of industrial clusters, to the precise empowerment of service optimization, private enterprises have shown strong development resilience and unlimited potential, injecting continuous impetus into the economic and social development of the whole region.
Innovation is the wings
Private enterprises usher in the “smart manufacturing spring breeze”
When you enter Skyworth Electrical Appliances’ intelligent manufacturing factory, the science fiction wind blows: the robotic arm flexibly waving, the automated production line runs efficiently, and smart refrigerators and washing machines are taken offline from here and sent to all parts of the world.
”Our smart refrigerators can bring cameras and adjust storage temperatures adaptively according to the storage category. The large screen can also display the cooking methods of dishes.” Li Shuqiang, manager of Skyworth Electric Refrigerator Development Department, introduced that the company has an experienced and innovative technical R&D team. They bring their imagination into reality, making Skyworth Electric far ahead in the field of smart home appliances.
Since its establishment in Lishui Development Zone in 2010, Skyworth Electric has been deeply engaged in the field of intelligent manufacturing and has gradually grown into a large enterprise with more than 3,000 employees. Its sales revenue has increased from 1.7 billion yuan in 2013 to 5 billion yuan today, and has achieved a development leap from nothing to something in Lishui, from small to large.
Skyworth Electric Appliances is a microcosm of scientific and technological innovation in private enterprises in Lishui. In recent years, Lishui has placed the enhancement of the scientific and technological innovation capabilities of private enterprises in a more prominent position, supports and guides private enterprises to seize major opportunities in the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, accelerates the transformation of development mode, adjusts industrial structure, and transforms growth momentum, and promotes high-quality development of the private economy. Up to now, there are 553 high-tech enterprises in the region, and the coverage rate of R&D institutions of high-tech enterprises above a certain scale has reached 98.3%. A total of 2019 5G base stations have been built, guiding enterprises to implement “intelligent transformation and transformation” and improve the level of digitalization.
Cluster-based
Private enterprises stimulate “on-chain vitality”
In Lishui, the vitality of private enterprises is not only reflected in scientific and technological innovation, but also in the vigorous development of key industrial chains. “This new energy logistics vehicle adopts lightweight technology, and its energy consumption is reduced by nearly 15%. It is combined with the company’s core control technology. It has stable and reliable operation, high mileage and low operating costs, and is very popular in the market.” said Song Hui, deputy director of Hengtian Lingrui Technology Center. As a representative of the leading enterprise in Lishui’s new energy vehicle industry chain, Hengtian Lingrui made breakthrough progress in 2024. The company launched a number of new energy vehicle models that the company has sold overseas, becoming a brilliant business card of “China Intelligent Manufacturing”.
Last year, Hengtian Lingrui’s output value was nearly 1.4 billion yuan, with an increase of more than 50% for three consecutive years; at the beginning of the new year, it received more than 300 new energy buses and contract orders of over 300 million yuan,
striving to exceed 2 billion yuan in 2025 . The relevant person in charge of the company said that the outstanding achievements are not only due to the company’s adherence to scientific and technological innovation and active exploration of new technologies, new processes and new models, but also inseparable from the persistent support and help of Lishui Development Zone.
It is understood that there are 144,200 market entities in the region, of which more than 99% are private market entities. They are the “main force” of economic development in the region and an important foundation for high-quality economic development. Nowadays, the whole region focuses on the leading industries of “two new and two intelligences” (new energy, new medicine and life and health; intelligent manufacturing equipment, smart agriculture), and various industrial clusters are accelerating. In 2024, the total output value of the private economy in the region exceeded 100 billion yuan, becoming an important support for regional economic growth.
Service as shield
Private enterprises inject “real water from the source”
The company is busy with production, and new projects are coming one after another. At the end of last year, Nanjing Defeng Machinery and Ma’anshan Green Friends Machinery Manufacturing signed a contract in the development zone. The total investment of the two projects was 1 billion yuan. After reaching production and efficiency, the annual output value is expected to exceed 1.5 billion yuan; at the beginning of this year, the second phase of Hengtian Lingrui project started in the development zone with a total investment of 800 million yuan…
Behind the project “increase in investment” and the enterprise “expanding production” is the result of Lishui’s optimization of serving enterprises and enhancing enterprise investment confidence. Good policies are the “stabilizing needle” for the development of the private economy. In Lishui, a series of precise policies, such as issuing several policy measures to help enterprises empower, implementing the “137” efficient solution mechanism for enterprise-related demands, and optimizing and upgrading the “five offices” integration and “five certificates” issued model, which nourishes the hearts of every company like spring rain. Especially for small and micro enterprises and start-ups, Lishui has shown full sincerity, from financial support to entrepreneurial guidance, helping enterprises grow healthily in all aspects.
Serving enterprises is serving development. The “First New Year Meeting” held in Lishui focused on project attraction and service to enterprises and issued a package of new policies, issued the “9 Measures to Encourage Cadres to Compete Projects and Improve Investment Services in Lishui District”, formulated a “five things” working mechanism for serving enterprises and a market-oriented investment promotion work plan, and released the 2025 “Partner Park” Growth Plan and Entrepreneur Service Day Plan, sounding the charge to fight for the economy in the new year with a progressive attitude.
