The General Office of the Ministry of Finance and the General Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a notice on completing the pilot work for the digital transformation city of small and medium-sized enterprises in 2025. In 2025, about 34 cities will be selected to carry out the third batch of pilot work. The pilot cities should be prefecture-level cities and above, including provincial capitals of each province, other prefecture-level cities, and districts and counties directly under the Central Government. Cities that have already been included in the scope of the first two batches of pilots must not make repeated declarations. The implementation period for the third batch of urban pilots is two years, and calculation starts from the date of approval of the implementation plan. Pilot cities should insist on promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and promoting strategic emerging industries and future industrial development, and carry out digital transformation pilot projects in key manufacturing industries such as computer and communication electronic equipment manufacturing, general and special equipment manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, etc. The selected industry segments should conform to the national regional strategic development plan and industry orientation, reflect their own industrial base and characteristic advantages, and have the characteristics of large output value, high concentration of small and medium-sized enterprises, deep transformation potential, and obvious improvement in efficiency after transformation to avoid dispersion. It is necessary to combine the characteristics of different industries, thoroughly sort out the common transformation needs of the industry, and promote the digital transformation of pilot enterprises in a hierarchical manner.
