According to the statistics, the top five provinces and municipalities with the highest number of selected firms are as follows: Jiangsu (711), Guangdong (561), Zhejiang (400), Beijing (271), and Shanghai (206).

Shenzhen leads with 298 firms in this batch, followed by Ningbo with 65, Qingdao with 29, Xiamen with 18, and Dalian with 14. Shenzhen had previously accumulated a total of 752 such firms across the first five batches.

广东超前完成2000家专精特“小巨人”企业培育目标

近日，全国各省份（省、自治区、直辖市）、计划单列市陆续发布第六批专精特新“小巨人”企业培育和第三批专精特新“小巨人”企业复核工作。记者梳理发现，此次公示的专精特新“小巨人”企业有3012家，相较于第五批公示名单入选企业数量明显减少，江苏、广东（含深圳）和浙江企业入选数量继续领跑全国。

根据统计，按地区分布来看，入围数量排名前五的省份依次为：江苏（711家）、广东（561家）、浙江（400家）、北京（271家）、上海（206家）。与第五批公示名单，浙江、北京入选企业数量出现增长，上海持平，其他省份均出现不同幅度减少。

记者注意到，2023年，广东省人民政府办公厅发布《广东省推动专精特新企业高质量发展的指导意见》，提出计划到2027年，累计培育超2000家专精特新“小巨人”企业。来自广东省工业和信息化厅的数据显示，截至2023年底，广东省已累计培育专精特新“小巨人”企业1528家，叠加此次入选企业，已然超前完成目标。

与各省份入选数据相比，5个计划单列市的专精特新“小巨人”企业数量也常年引发关注。在本次公示中，深圳继续以298家的数量位居第一，宁波、青岛、厦门、大连分别为65家、29家、18家、14家。深圳此前五批专精特新“小巨人”企业已累计达到752家，这意味着叠加本次公示的入选企业，全市专精特新“小巨人”企业正式超过千家。

在深圳之外，此次广东上榜的专精特新“小巨人”企业还来自于其他15个地市。广州（104家）、东莞（47家）位列第二、三名。

据悉，专精特新“小巨人”企业，是“专精特新”中小企业中的佼佼者，是专注于细分市场、创新能力强、市场占有率高、掌握关键核心技术、质量效益优的排头兵企业。
