A few days ago, Shanghai Sany Technology Co., Ltd., located in Chuansha Economic Park in Pudong, welcomed a group of special guests, a Chilean delegation of 30 people, who came to thank the Chinese friends who contributed to the rescue of the mining disaster. The protagonist of the story is the 400-ton crawler independently developed by "Sany Technology".crane。

Sany Group, which started in the central region, why did it set up such a subsidiary specializing in innovation and research in Shanghai? After the birth of Sany Technology, why is it that the achievements of scientific and technological innovation are exceptionally rich, and even can be "created in China" and "rooted in Taiwan" on the international stage? In the words of Zhu Xudong, director of the Science and Technology Commission of Pudong New Area, there is "soft power" for the growth of technology-based enterprises.

The 400-ton crawler crane of Sany Technology, which stood out in this international rescue incident, was known as "Shenzhou * 5656 crane" when it was developed and rolled off the assembly line in 2006, which not only won the first prize of China Machinery Industry Science and Technology Award, but also broke the situation that China could not produce this level of products in the past.

But from a certain point of view, the stunning appearance in Chile is just the media spotlight that magnifies Sany's product in the public eye. In fact, since settling in Pudong a few years ago, the large-tonnage "*5656 crane" produced by Sany Technology has become well-known in the global industry. Including Chile, Sany Technology's crawler crane products have been exported to more than 40 countries and regions such as the Middle East, Europe, America, North Africa, Southeast Asia, etc., with overseas equipment holdings exceeding 1.6 billion yuan.

This is not unrelated to the location advantages of Shanghai and Pudong. Tan Lingqun, assistant to the president of Sany Heavy Industry and vice president of Sany Science and Technology Research Institute, a comprehensive R&D institution directly under Sany Technology Co., Ltd., said that high-end international demand information can be obtained here, and these needs are also an important guide for enterprise innovation and research and development. Following the "Shenzhou *5656 crane", Sany Technology's 900-ton "Asia*5656 crane" broke the monopoly of international giants in the field of ultra-large tonnage crawler cranes; Since then, the 1000-ton new product has set a new record; At present, the 1,600-ton product is being debugged and is expected to be launched next year. At this rate, the challenge of "World*5656 Hanging" is just around the corner.

To promote the rapid growth of enterprises, Shanghai's other soft power - talent highland has made great contributions. In order to compete for high-end market orders from international giants such as Germany's Libohaier, Chinese enterprises must upgrade from simple manufacturing enterprises to creative enterprises, and their products must have independent intellectual property rights and cost-effective advantages to occupy competitive advantages. This is inseparable from two kinds of talents - first-class technical research and development talents, and first-class industrial workers. These two kinds of people are easy to gather in Shanghai. At present, among the 3,000 people in Sany Technology, a R&D team of more than 300 people has been formed, mainly with doctors and masters. With this strong R&D team in the same industry in China, as of May this year, Sany Technology has applied for 166 patents and 5 software registration rights, of which 102 patents have been authorized.

Of course, the execution of the local government to guide various innovation resources to play a role is also a kind of soft power - the successful research and development of "Shenzhou * 5656 Hang" requires loans to accelerate industrialization, and Pudong immediately gave a loan discount of 230,000 yuan; Last year, Sany Science and Technology Research Institute was rated as a listed enterprise R&D institution, and the new district gave a first-class free R&D subsidy of 1 million yuan; Sany Technology's large-tonnage crawler crane series has also been selected into the first risk subsidy catalogue of major equipment, which reduces the cost and risk of customer selection, and paves the way for the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements and the transformation and upgrading of enterprises.
