On the winter day, the Qiantang River is brimming with scientific and technological innovation. On the 28th, the first batch of "New Science and Technology Dragons" in Zhejiang Province was launched at a conference in Hangzhou, where 96 "New Science and Technology Dragons" officially made their debut.
DeepSeek and other "Hangzhou Six Little Dragons" are outstanding representatives of Zhejiang's many high-quality technology companies. To further discover and cultivate more emerging technological forces with core competitiveness, the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Science and Technology and Xinhua News Agency Zhejiang Branch jointly launched the "Zhejiang Provincial Science and Technology New Little Dragons Exploration and Support Action," in conjunction with the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology and the Zhejiang Regulatory Bureau of the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau.
From the explosive popularity of the "Hangzhou Six Little Dragons" to the emergence of the first batch of "Science and Technology New Little Dragons" companies, this vividly reflects the continuous optimization of Zhejiang's science and technology innovation ecosystem and is a significant achievement in developing new-quality productivity.
At the conference, 96 companies, the first batch of "Zhejiang Provincial Science and Technology New Little Dragons," made their debut and received their awards. These companies were selected from nearly 400 candidate companies across the province, exhibiting distinct characteristics of high leadership, high investment, and high growth potential.
Innovation is the primary driving force for development, and high-tech enterprises are the core carriers for cultivating new-quality productivity.
In recent years, Zhejiang has consistently placed innovation at the core of its overall development strategy, focusing on the "315" science and technology innovation system and adhering to the "415X" advanced manufacturing cluster development goals, continuously building a full-cycle cultivation system for science and technology enterprises. The emergence of the first batch of "New Science and Technology Dragons" also signifies that Zhejiang's mechanism for identifying and cultivating innovative entities is becoming increasingly systematic and normalized.
The conference also released the 2025 list of Zhejiang Province's Top 500 High-tech Enterprises in Innovation Capability and Top 200 High-Growth High-tech Enterprises. The listed companies focus on core technology breakthroughs, industry-leading potential, and high growth, which is a vivid microcosm of Zhejiang's scientific and technological innovation vitality and an important support for future industrial development.
"Looking back at Zhejiang's development, its transformation from a resource-poor province to a major economic powerhouse is due to its pioneering spirit, its exceptional capacity for innovation and entrepreneurship, and its ability to seize the opportunities presented by reform and opening up and the market economy," said Gao Yingzhong, Vice Chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. He added that standing at a new historical starting point, facing a more complex and challenging domestic and international environment and increasingly fierce regional competition, Zhejiang's transformation from a major economic province to a leading science and technology province and a globally important source of innovation fundamentally relies on scientific and technological innovation and a continuous stream of new high-quality productive forces.
Looking towards the 15th Five-Year Plan, the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee has proposed focusing on building an innovative Zhejiang, developing new high-quality productive forces tailored to local conditions, and accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system with Zhejiang characteristics. Looking to the future, a sustainable, supportive, and effective empowering ecosystem is rapidly taking shape.
Looking ahead, JinYi Interconnect will leverage its selection as a "New Dragon of Technology" to further focus on core technology innovation, increase R&D investment, and deepen its involvement in the fields of smart energy and industrial internet, continuously breaking through key technological bottlenecks. The company will rely on its technological accumulation in data platforms, edge computing, and artificial intelligence to continuously provide customers in the energy and manufacturing industries with higher-quality and more efficient digital solutions, helping traditional industries transform and upgrade, and contributing "JinYi strength" to Zhejiang's efforts to build an innovative province and develop new productive forces. Simultaneously, it will actively respond to the conference's call, proactively integrate into Zhejiang's full-cycle cultivation system for science and technology innovation enterprises, deepen cooperation with upstream and downstream partners in the industrial chain, jointly build a collaborative innovation industrial ecosystem, and forge ahead on the path of technological self-reliance.
