Northeast China's Jilin province has firmly implemented an innovation-driven development strategy in recent years, helping to fuel the local economic development, and also power the transformation and upgrading of the old industrial base.
A number of "small giant" enterprises focused on high-grade, precision and advanced industrial products have demonstrated their value in the province.
The Jilin-1 satellite family -- China's first homegrown commercial remote sensing satellite constellation featuring high-definition images -- helps with forest fire warnings, desertification, offshore rescue, ocean protection and other remote-sensing information services.
Furthermore, Jilin-1 family satellites have been used for remote sensing more than 20,000 times by governments, research institutes, universities and industrial users since 2015, creating good social and economic benefits.
An aerospace information industrial park funded by the company that integrates satellite research and development, production, testing, and space education will be put into full operation in September.
By 2030, a network of 138 satellites will be finished, achieving the goal of revisiting any location in the world within 10 minutes.
Unlike traditional chemical plants, the digital workshops at Changchun Northern Chemical Filling Equipment Co provide a model of intelligent, safe and environmental protection.
Founded in 1996, the company has been focused on automatic filling production lines, three-dimensional intelligent storage, and digital workshop products.
The company, which has about 100 employees, more than half of whom work in research and development, has achieved rapid growth in sales revenue in past years.
Jilin province has 389 such "small giants", which have become a new engine for economic growth. In 2018, these firms achieved a total industrial output value of 39.49 billion Yuan and a total revenue of 38 billion Yuan, including 29 billion Yuan from high-tech products and 2.82 billion Yuan from taxes paid. These enterprises now have 14,496 personnel engaged in scientific and technological activities, and hold 5,026 valid patents, including 1,064 invention patents.
