As a scientific and technological innovation highland in Huai ‘an, the Economic Development Zone has always adhered to innovation leading and technological empowerment, constantly optimized the environment for scientific and technological development, strengthened scientific and technological services and enhanced its ability of scientific and technological innovation in recent years, ranking first in the city’s scientific and technological innovation assessment for four consecutive years, cultivating 104 high-tech enterprises and 42 provincial-level enterprise R&D centers, and being successfully approved as the "National Intellectual Property Pilot Park".
The investment in R&D is increasing, and the innovation ability is more prominent.
Guided by the project, we will focus on promoting the innovation capacity building of enterprises and encourage enterprises to increase investment in research and development. We will implement policies such as adding and deducting R&D expenses, vigorously promote the upgrading of R&D institutions of enterprises, enhance the independent innovation ability of enterprises, and focus on supporting high-quality and high-level R&D institutions jointly established by enterprises and universities. Every quarter, the R&D investment data will be reviewed and analyzed one by one, and continuous counseling will be provided to ensure that the enterprise truly, accurately and timely reflects the R&D investment and expand the scope of R&D activities. Take the construction of enterprise R&D center as an important starting point to enhance the R&D capability of enterprises, and implement the "three centers" full coverage action of R&D of key enterprises and provincial enterprises. In 2022, 14 companies, including Fuyang Electronics, were approved by the Municipal Engineering Technology Research Center, and 5 companies, including Jinqiao Bio and Dongwei Hardware, applied to the Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center. Up to now, the Economic Development Zone has 16 provincial engineering technology research centers and 95 municipal engineering technology research centers.
High-level cultivation continues to exert strength, and the industrial structure is more reasonable.
The Economic Development Zone firmly grasps the "bull nose" of high-level cultivation, puts high-level declaration in the top priority position, and implements the "five mechanisms" of high-level declaration in accordance with the idea of "doing the same year, preparing for the next year and planning for three years" and the requirements of "grasping early, grasping small and grasping reality". Focus on the implementation of the "small increase" science and technology plan, increase policy incentives, carry out declaration training, implement expert review, and strive to improve the quality of high-level declarations. Up to now, there are 104 high-tech enterprises within the validity period of the Economic Development Zone, and 225 high-tech small and medium-sized enterprises have been put into storage, and the output value of high-tech industries accounts for 61.6% of the total industrial output value above designated size.

In 2022, Jiangsu Institute of Electronic Information was approved to create a national-level creative space, achieving a breakthrough of zero national-level creative space in the Economic Development Zone. Zhongke Jingshang was approved to create space in the province, and European and American industrial parks and Japanese-funded industrial parks were approved to be municipal-level science and technology complexes. Up to now, the whole region has 2 state-level business incubators, 1 national university science park, 1 national creative space, 8 provincial creative spaces, 2 provincial creative communities and 258 incubating enterprises.
Generate is full of innovation and entrepreneurship, and the innovation environment is more optimized.
Strengthen the propaganda of "16 Articles of Municipal Innovation", introduce the implementation plan for establishing a national innovative city in the Economic Development Zone, and revise and improve the incentive measures for promoting the high-quality development of enterprises. Set up special support funds for scientific research institutes and increase financial support for technological transformation of enterprises. On the basis of giving full play to the role of science and technology loans such as "Su Ke Loan" and "Huai Ke Loan", the Science and Technology Innovation Fund of Economic Development Zone will be established to provide more paths for financing loans for science and technology enterprises. In combination with the requirements of "101%" quality service, we will further optimize the business environment for scientific and technological innovation, hold regular bimonthly talks between the party and government, make good use of the service brands of "four in and four out" and "1+3" to help enterprises with science and technology, give play to the role of a platform for financial capital integration and reward, and create an efficient and pragmatic innovation environment. In 2022, the region cashed in 46.21 million yuan of various incentive funds for enterprises, of which 15.77 million yuan was used for scientific and technological innovation.
