Liu Junmei: Generally speaking, with the support of the government, the United States, Germany, Japan and Singapore have built or formed relatively mature support systems or platforms; The governments of China, Germany, Singapore and South Korea pay more IC695CPE400 attention to the digital transformation of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises.

In terms of industrial support, the U.S. government has created a national manufacturing innovation network as an “incubator” to reduce the cost and risk of research and development and application, promote the research and development of advanced technologies, and promote the transformation and application of research results in the form of “industry-university-research-government” cooperation.

The Japanese government has formed a mature multi-party cooperation and support system, that is, the “government-industry-academia” integration cooperation mechanism, which has played a significant role in the transformation of technological achievements. Singapore has also launched the “National Artificial Intelligence Core” program and the “University-Enterprise Research Lab” program to gather the tripartite strength of the government, domestic and foreign enterprises, universities and other scientific research institutions. At present, the Chinese government has also built a platform for the integration of the two, but the number of participating enterprises and the construction of platform functions still need to be improved.

In China, smes are an important part of the market IC695CPE400 economy, and their digital transformation is an important part of stimulating China’s economic vitality. However, due to the limitations of technology, capital, talent and management experience, which hinder the digital transformation of smes, governments at all levels are promoting the multi-party cooperation of financial institutions, platforms and enterprises, and using practical policy measures such as “cloud loan” to try to solve the problem of “will not turn”, “cannot turn” and “dare not turn” in the face of digital transformation.

We can learn from Germany’s experience. German industry is developed, large enterprises have a high level of digitalization, some enterprises in the world’s top level, so Germany’s policy support more attention to small and medium-sized enterprises, the construction of a large number of small and medium-sized IC695CPE400 enterprises Industry 4.0 excellence center and small and medium-sized enterprise test bed, to provide small and medium-sized enterprises to understand and understand the opportunity of digitalization, and provide specific digital transformation implementation plans.
