GUANGZHOU, China, March 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The COVID-19
epidemic outbreak has thrown inevitably big shocks to the economy,
putting a damper on business for many small and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs). Over the past month, China has introduced a raft of 800 support
policies at the national and local levels, including reducing the
burden on enterprises, increasing financial support, increasing
fiscal and tax subsidies, supporting stable employment and
optimizing government services, to ease the impact of the epidemic
on Chinese enterprises and global economic supply chains.
On Mar. 19, the Ministry of
Industry and Information Technology of China implemented an action plan to boost the
revival of SMEs through digitalized solutions. The plan emphasizes
the use of information technology and digital tools to help the
SMEs to increase prevention and control of epidemics, and to resume
production and operations as soon as possible.
China International SME Fair (CISMEF), which has been held for
16 consecutive years, is an active participant in this action plan.
As an important service platform to promote exchanges and
cooperation between SMEs in China
and over the world, CISMEF takes the lead in responding to the
impact of the epidemic by optimizing digital services to
enterprises. The platform "Exhibition Online" launched last year is
extending the traditional convention and exhibition mode, assisting
SMEs to continue to expand the market through e-commerce, big data,
cloud computing and other digital technologies.
"We are building a communication, exchange and matchmaking
platform for participating enterprises, and cooperating with
well-known e-commerce enterprises to set up a special zone to
promote the products of SMEs to Chinese and foreign buyers. The
online platform has also added columns such as 'Fighting against
COVID-19', 'Voices from SMEs', and 'Guidelines to resume work and
operation'. We hope to help SMEs at home and abroad cope with the
crisis with these useful attempts," said Wu
Hong, deputy director of the Organizing Committee
Secretariat of CISMEF.
The industrial Internet exhibition will play an important role
in CISMEF of this year. At present, a number of industrial clusters
in digital transformation complex, industrial Internet benchmark
enterprises, new-generation information technology service
providers, and intelligent system equipment vendors are
participating in this exhibition, which will meet the development
needs of telecommuting, digitization, and popularization of
industrial Internet.
Recently, as the epidemic situation of COVID-19 in China is getting better, SMEs are resuming
work and production gradually. With the help of service platforms
such as CISMEF, China actively
supports SMEs to beef up the steady and healthy development of the
economy, which will release a positive signal to the world.
