    【Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network Industry Dynamics】At present, the digital transformation of the world economy has become the general trend
    .
    Small and medium-sized enterprises are an important part of the real economy, and they are also the focus and difficulty of industrial digital transformation
    .
    In order to implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on accelerating digital development, and promote the comprehensive strength and core competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises through digital transformation, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has formulated the Guidelines for the Digital Transformation of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (hereinafter referred to as the "Guide"
    ).

     
    The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that it is necessary to "support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises", "support the development of specialized and special new enterprises", "promote new industrialization", and "promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy", which points out the way forward and provides fundamental guidance
    for us to promote the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises.

     
    The scope of application and objects of the Guidelines include three aspects: first, the demand side, that is, small and medium-sized enterprises, especially manufacturing SMEs, aims to guide SMEs to clarify their transformation ideas, optimize transformation practices, and improve transformation efficiency; The second is the supply side, that is, the digital transformation service provider of small and medium-sized enterprises such as Internet platform enterprises, industrial Internet platform enterprises, and digital transformation service providers, aiming to promote the supply level of digital transformation products and services of small and medium-sized enterprises; Third, local authorities at all levels aim to strengthen policy support for the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises and promote small and medium-sized enterprises to accelerate the digital transformation process
    .

     
    There are four main aspects of the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises:
     
    One is from easy to difficult
    .
    Small and medium-sized enterprises need to make full use of miniaturized, fast, lightweight, and precise applications and subscription-based services to lower the threshold for
    digital transformation.
    Prioritize the collection and aggregation of data resources, and then gradually tap the value
    of data.
    Prioritize the application of mature digital products and services to meet the basic common needs and industry characteristics, and gradually improve its own digital capabilities to meet the individual needs
    of enterprises.

     
    The second is from point to surface
    .
    Small and medium-sized enterprises have limited investment resources in digital transformation, so they need to clarify the priority of digital transformation and reasonably plan the transformation path
    .
    We can prioritize starting from the links with a solid foundation and high potential value, and then gradually expand the coverage of digitalization in business links and management links to achieve data connectivity and business collaboration
    .

     
    The third is long-term iteration
    .
    Digital transformation is a long-term process
    of gradual development and spiral.
    SMEs should evaluate the progress and effectiveness of transformation in a timely manner, optimize the transformation strategy according to the situation, and follow the logical closed loop of "evaluation-planning-implementation-optimization", do what they can, do their best and make contributions
    for a long time.

     
    Fourth, multi-party coordination
    .
    The digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises cannot be "alone", but requires the concerted efforts
    of multiple parties.
    SMEs need to enhance their awareness of digital transformation and their own capabilities
    .
    Digital transformation service providers should improve the quality of
    products and services based on their own advantages.
    Local competent departments at all levels should do a good job in policy guidance and public service construction, and create a good environment
    for development.

     
    In terms of guiding SMEs to promote digital transformation pathways, the second part of the Guide, "Enhancing Enterprise Transformation Capabilities", is mainly aimed at SMEs, and proposes transformation paths from five aspects, including carrying out digital assessment, promoting management digitalization, conducting business digitalization, integrating into the digital ecosystem, and optimizing digital practices, aiming to fully stimulate the transformation momentum of SMEs themselves, and carry out digital transformation
    scientifically and efficiently in accordance with the logical closed loop of "assessment-planning-implementation-optimization".

     
    The first is to carry out digital assessments
    .
    SMEs need to conduct digital assessment from the aspects of digital basic level, enterprise operation and management status, internal and external transformation resources, etc.
    , and clarify digital transformation priorities based on the potential transformation value of business and management links, so as to effectively improve transformation efficiency
    .

     
    The second is to promote the digitalization
    of management.
    The digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises needs to build an organizational structure and management system that is suitable for transformation, strengthen digital talent training, deepen cross-departmental communication and collaboration, improve the level of enterprise management refinement, and optimize enterprise operation and management decisions
    .

     
    The third is to carry out business digitalization
    .
    In the process of digital transformation, small and medium-sized enterprises should fully apply subscription services and lightweight products to reduce transformation costs
    .
    Carry out the transformation of business links such as R&D design, manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, implement product life cycle management, and develop value-added services
    based on digital products.

     
    The fourth is to integrate into the digital ecosystem
    .
    Small and medium-sized enterprises should actively connect with ecological resources such as core enterprises in the industrial chain and supply chain, industry leading enterprises, parks/industrial clusters, deepen collaboration and support based on the industrial Internet platform, and use common technology platforms to carry out collaborative innovation
    .

     
    Fifth, optimize digital practices
    .
    SMEs should evaluate the effectiveness of digital transformation from the aspects of digital level and enterprise operation and management level, adjust digital transformation strategies according to the current resource endowment and transformation status, select corresponding digital products and services, and improve the adaptability
    of transformation strategies.

     
    In terms of improving the supply of digital transformation of SMEs, the third part of the Guide, "Improving the Level of Transformation Supply", is mainly aimed at the supply side of digital transformation services for SMEs, including enhancing the matching degree of supply and demand, carrying out full-process services, developing lightweight applications and deepening eco-level collaboration, aiming to guide the supply side to focus on the characteristics and actual needs of SMEs, improve the level of digital transformation products and services for SMEs, play an effective market role, and help SMEs carry out in-depth transformation

     
    The first is to enhance the matching degree of
    supply and demand.
    The digital transformation foundation of small and medium-sized enterprises is uneven and the needs are very different
    .
    Internet platform enterprises, industrial Internet platform enterprises, large enterprises, digital transformation service providers and other suppliers need to give full play to their advantages in infrastructure, digital technology, industry accumulation, etc.
    , meet the differentiated needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, continue to enrich the transformation "toolbox", and improve the pertinence of
    products and services.

     
    The second is to carry out full-process services
    .
    The digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises usually faces challenges such as lack of talents and weak capabilities, and it is difficult to promote digital transformation on their own
    .
    Transformation suppliers need to provide all-round companionship services from assessment planning, equipment transformation, system cloud, talent training and other links to help small and medium-sized enterprises connect with product and service ecological resources at different transformation stages and promote the gradual deepening
    of transformation.

     
    The third is to develop lightweight applications
    .
    The profits of small and medium-sized enterprises are relatively small, and the investment of digital transformation resources is limited
    .
    Digital transformation service providers should increase product, technology and model innovation, develop subscription-based services, and help small and medium-sized enterprises achieve low-cost and efficient digital transformation
    .

     
    Fourth, deepen eco-level cooperation
    .
    Supply-side entities need to deepen the collaboration between upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain and supply chain to help small and medium-sized enterprises achieve "chain" transformation
    .
    Large enterprises can drive the digital transformation
    of small and medium-sized enterprises through applications or building industrial Internet platforms.
    Develop a new model of industry and finance based on the industrial Internet and improve the financing capabilities
    of small and medium-sized enterprises.

     
    At the same time, the Guidelines put forward specific requirements
    for local authorities at all levels to promote the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises.

     
    First, strengthen transformation guidance
    .
    To promote the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, it is necessary to follow the development laws of economy, technology, management and other aspects, and reduce the "poor cognition" in the transformation process, so as to avoid the transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises "with half the effort"
    .
    Local competent departments at all levels should strengthen publicity and promotion, implement relevant policies and measures according to local conditions, strengthen categorical guidance and tracking services, and take multiple measures to guide small and medium-sized enterprises to accelerate their digital transformation
    .

     
    The second is to increase financial support
    .
    Insufficient funds for transformation is one of the core challenges of
    SME's digital transformation.
    It is necessary to increase financial support and lower the threshold for
    the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises.
    Encourage localities with the capacity to support small and medium-sized enterprises to migrate to the cloud platform
    through special funds, subsidy policies, and other means.
    Financial institutions are encouraged to provide products and services related to the digital transformation of small and
    medium-sized enterprises.

     
    The third is to promote pilot applications
    .
    The number of small and medium-sized enterprises is large, and digital transformation cannot be achieved overnight, and it is necessary to promote typical experience to "transfer first and then transfer"
    .
    Local competent departments at all levels should increase the intensity of pilot demonstrations, promote the typical model of integration and development of large and small enterprises, support specialized and special new small and medium-sized enterprises to play a leading role in demonstration, and encourage small and medium-sized enterprises to "learn from examples"
    .

     
    The fourth is to improve supporting services
    .
    The digital transformation services of small and medium-sized enterprises include market-oriented services and public services, which can effectively make up for the shortcomings of market-oriented services and improve the overall service guarantee capabilities
    .
    It is necessary to build and improve the public service system for digital transformation, and continue to improve the service level
    of policy consultation, technical guidance, talent training, and project supervision.

     
    Fifth, optimize the development environment
    .
    The development environment is crucial
    for corporate strategy formulation, market development, product renewal, and organizational change.
    It is necessary to optimize the transformation and development environment from the aspects of infrastructure, evaluation system, development atmosphere, finance, taxation and finance, and talent training, and accelerate the digital transformation process
    of small and medium-sized enterprises.

     
    In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the Guidelines and achieve positive results
    .
    The Guidelines require local authorities at all levels to focus on the following three aspects
    when carrying out relevant work.

     
    First, strengthen policy publicity
    .
    It is necessary to carry out publicity and interpretation around the series of policies for the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, help small and medium-sized enterprises and digital transformation service providers deepen their understanding of transformation, enhance their confidence in transformation, fully mobilize the enthusiasm for transformation, and jointly promote the digital transformation of
    small and medium-sized enterprises.

     
    Second, grasp the implementation
    of the work.
    All localities should clarify the work goals and starting points
    based on the foundation and actual needs of the digital transformation development of small and medium-sized enterprises.
    Dynamically track the implementation of the Guidelines, accurately evaluate the implementation effects of the Guidelines, and pay close attention to the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises
    .

     
    The third is to do a good job in summarizing and promoting
    .
    All localities should strengthen the refinement, summary and promotion of typical application scenarios, benchmark enterprise practices, mature industry experience, etc.
    , and continuously improve the quality and efficiency
    of the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises.
