According to the "Measures for the Graded Cultivation Management of High-Quality SMEs" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (Document No. 2 of 2026), the graded cultivation system for high-quality SMEs in China is structured into three tiers: technology and innovation-oriented SMEs, specialized and innovative SMEs, and "Little Giant" enterprises that are specialized and innovative. Among these, specialized and innovative SMEs are those that achieve specialized, refined, and differentiated development, possess strong innovation capabilities, and deliver high quality and efficiency. They serve as the backbone of high-quality SMEs.
