A work meeting surrounding the approval administration of high-tech enterprises in Sanmenxia, Central China’s Henan province, was held on March 6 in the city of Sanmenxia. Key work tasks for the year were deployed at the meeting.

According to the meeting, the city will foster 30 new high-tech enterprises per year in the following three years. The amount of approved high-tech enterprises will reach 30 in 2014 and 50 by 2015. The city also seeks to meet the Henan provincial average in terms of national preferential tax policy benefits.

Wang Zhenqing, vice-mayor of Sanmenxia, was on hand at the meeting. Wang asked local governments at different levels to focus on the high-tech enterprise approval administration and to provide more supporting services for the enterprises. At the same time, enterprises should actively apply to become high-tech enterprises.

Since 2008, some 21 enterprises in the city have been approved as national high-tech enterprises. They achieved a high-tech industrial output value of 5.9 billion yuan ($962.88 million) in 2013, accounting for 33 percent of the city’s high-tech industry total output value. They also reached an industrial added-value worth 1.85 billion yuan in 2013, 34 percent of the total high-tech industrial added-value in the city. In addition, three of them will be listed publicly. There are 96 industrial enterprises above a designated size in Sanmenxia now.
