The business environment is the core competitiveness for the development of industrial parks. By establishing a full-life-cycle service system that ensures seamless implementation, targeted support, and protection for businesses, Fushun High-Tech Zone has created a service model in which the capabilities of the park are precisely aligned with the needs of enterprises, making precise services the best tool for attracting, retaining, and helping businesses succeed. Precise adaptation: Enabling enterprises to “settle down without worries”. In the initial stages of establishment, faced with complicated approval procedures and an unfamiliar policy environment, enterprises often “don’t know where to begin”. To this end, Fushun High-Tech Zone has transformed the complex implementation process into clear and easy-to-understand service guides, making things straightforward for businesses. For enterprises that are launching operations for the first time and lack experience, the high-tech zone offers a dual-service model of \"individual services plus end-to-end support,\" providing comprehensive assistance throughout the process, from business registration to permit approval. “Enterprises come to us to invest with long-term development in mind. We must ensure that the policies we’ve promised are properly implemented, so that these enterprises can feel confident that their investments here are secure and that they have support at every step. ”Zhang Yong, deputy director of the Investment Promotion Bureau of Fushun High-Tech Zone, said. Liu He, head of the Public Utilities Department at Liaoning Youer Industrial Co., Ltd., has deep feelings on this matter. This foreign company, which came from Liaoyang to Fushun in order to revitalize local old enterprises, began trial production successfully last January. “We chose a full-service approach covering the entire process; there is a dedicated person to oversee each step, and they also keep us informed about relevant policy milestones, helping us avoid unnecessary trips. ”Liu He said that the company has now entered the formal production phase, with the second-phase project under planning. Many companies, like Liaoning Youer, are attracted by the favorable business environment and establish themselves in the high-tech zones. “During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Fushun High-Tech Zone successfully attracted a number of industry leaders as well as specialized and innovative enterprises such as Jiangsu Sanmu Group, Senyuan Chemical, Xinyu Biology, Daluwang New Materials, and Aisen Flocculant to establish operations there. Facilitating connections: Providing targeted support for enterprises. When enterprises enter new markets or explore new fields, the risks and challenges they face increase significantly, which in turn leads to higher demands for the services offered by industrial parks. Zhang Yong believes that when a company enters a phase of transformation and growth, the key to effective service delivery is to identify the point where what the government can provide meets the company’s needs, so as to offer targeted support. To help enterprises accelerate their transformation and upgrading, Fushun High-Tech Zone does its best to provide analyses of industry trends, interpretations of policies, and warnings regarding compliance risks. It also makes efforts to establish platforms for industry-university-research collaboration, address financing challenges, expand development opportunities, and open up markets for products. Fushun High-Tech Zone has invested 20 million yuan in the \"Liaoning Province High-Tech Zones Joint Development Fund\" to help enterprises overcome the challenge of finding funding for their development ； It establishes close partnerships with research institutions such as the Liaoning Provincial Petrochemical Industry Technology Innovation Institute and Liaoning University of Petroleum and Chemical Technology to provide intellectual support for enterprises’ technological innovation. At the same time, by taking advantage of Liaoning Province’s special initiative for \"enterprise science and technology commissioners,\" efforts were made to connect enterprises in the park with these commissioners; the Fushun High-Tech Service Station was established, creating a solid framework for cooperation among industry, academia, and research institutions, thereby enabling enterprises to focus more confidently on research and development as well as product innovation. To date, Fushun High-Tech Zone has cultivated a total of 65 high-tech enterprises, 55 provincial-level “Eagle” and “Gazelle” enterprises, 25 provincial-level “specialized, sophisticated, distinctive, and innovative” SMEs, and 4 national-level “little giant” enterprises in this category. The number of invention patents per 10,000 people has reached 360. The zone has also been designated as a “national demonstration base for innovation and entrepreneurship featuring integrated development among large, medium, and small enterprises”. Supporting development: The real experience of enterprises under China Merchants’ strategy of \"dual-driven\" support is the ultimate benchmark for assessing the business environment. New companies are worried about favoritism, while existing companies hope for continued attention – how can we ensure that businesses can settle down with confidence and focus on their development? Luo Shangwen, the person in charge of the lubricant additives project at Shenyang Runchi Additives Technology Co., Ltd., provided an answer based on his own experience. “From the start of construction to its completion, Fushun High-Tech Zone took the initiative to visit the site and provided ongoing support throughout the process. This attitude of treating everyone equally, regardless of whether they are new or established clients, gave us a great sense of reassurance. ”Luo Shangwen said that Fushun was initially chosen due to its industrial foundation and geographical advantages, but there were concerns regarding subsequent services; the government’s fair treatment completely dispelled those worries. “Fairness is the foundation upon which a company can thrive. ”Luo Shangwen believes that whether it is streamlining approval processes, implementing policies, or ensuring access to resources, only when new and existing enterprises have equal access to high-quality resources and opportunities can they engage in business with confidence and strive fully. Shenyang Runchi is a key investment project in Fushun City. Since construction began last June, all 11 main building structures have been completed, and it is expected to go into operation officially in May next year. Once operational, it will produce 10,000 tons of lubricant additives per year; these products will be sold across the country as well as exported to Russia. “Ensure that businesses receive tangible support at every stage of their development, allowing them to venture boldly and work with confidence in the new fields they plan to explore, thus steadily expanding their path forward. ”Zhang Yong explained the original intention behind the park’s services. To enable enterprises to develop with confidence, Fushun High-Tech Zone launched this year a special initiative aimed at significantly improving the zone’s infrastructure. Eleven infrastructure projects were put under construction, including those related to combined heat and power generation, the first phase of infrastructure development for the high-end fine chemicals industry base, as well as drainage and collection systems in the Lanshan and Haixin zones; the total investment in these projects amounts to 1.943 billion yuan. Once these projects are completed one after another, they will further enhance the capacity of the park and create a high-quality \"soft environment\" for attracting investment. Today, Fushun High-Tech Zone proactively serves as a “paving stone,” while enterprises, filled with the confidence of “rooted settlers,” are accelerating their development. Together, they present a vibrant picture of growth. Data shows that since the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Fushun High-Tech Zone has implemented a total of 171 key projects, with fixed-asset investments amounting to 7.087 billion yuan. To date, the park has gathered over 160 petrochemical enterprises, giving rise to eight major industrial chains including those for ethylene, propylene, and C5 compounds, thereby facilitating the transition of the industry from the supply of basic raw materials to high-value-added manufacturing.
