Just past the seventh "National Science and Technology Workers Day", with the "National Science and Technology Innovation Top 100 Index report 2023" was released in Beijing, the national science and technology innovation enterprises top 500 list is also grand announcement. STEP ranks on the list with its leading ability in product technology innovation.
The report was jointly researched and compiled by the August Gua Innovation Research Institute, the Science and Technology Information Institute of the Beijing Academy of Science and Technology and the 21st Century Innovation Think Tank. The "Report" focuses on micro innovation subjects such as enterprises, universities and research institutions, and selects the top 500 national science and technology innovation enterprises, the top 50 national science and technology innovation universities, and the top 50 national science and technology innovation research institutions through scientific evaluation and in-depth analysis.
Scientific and technological innovation is the driving force for the survival and development of enterprises. As a national technological innovation demonstration enterprise and national high-tech enterprise, STEP has always followed the concept of innovation-driven development in its 28-year development process, and has invested a large amount of research and development funds every year for the research and development of new products and new technologies and the continuous improvement of existing products to achieve technological innovation and form independent intellectual property rights.
Statistics show that since its listing in 2010, STEP has invested 1.79 billion yuan in R&D, of which the R&D investment in the last three years has remained above 200 million yuan; As of 2022, STEP has obtained 769 national authorized patents, including 300 invention patents and 274 software Copyrights, presided over/participated in the compilation and revision of 39 national technical standards and 8 industrial technical standards.
The emergence of scientific and technological innovation achievements has created STEP's core competitiveness and made it in a leading position in the industry, which is naturally inseparable from the empowerment of scientific and technological innovation organizations and platforms. The STEP National Enterprise Technology Center was identified in 2014 and has successfully passed four reviews so far, forming an innovation system with technology platform, efficient achievement transformation, and high-level talent support as the core, while the postdoctoral workstation and STEP University promote the company's industry-university-research collaborative innovation.
Not only that, STEP also builds world-class scientific research hardware support for innovation, and has built the first CAVE laboratory in China and the first CNAS accredited laboratory in the industry, which can carry out experiments such as semi-anemonic chamber EMC, HALT high-acceleration life chamber environmental reliability, and provide complete testing from components to components, machines to systems. Including electromagnetic compatibility, climate environment, mechanical environment, failure analysis and other more than 20 tests, testing capabilities have been recognized by SGS, BV, UL and other international certification bodies.
The ranking among the top 500 national science and technology innovation enterprises has strengthened STEP's confidence in seeking answers from science and technology innovation, constantly shaping new momentum and new advantages for development, and taking the road of high-quality development. In the future, STEP will continue to uphold the core values of truth-seeking and innovation, accelerate key core technology breakthroughs in elevator control, frequency conversion drive, motion control, robotics, intelligent manufacturing and other fields, and strive to take scientific and technological innovation to a new level.
