In a bid to fully implement the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s “Together for Enterprises” 2025 Nationwide SME Service Month initiative and advance the “Together for Enterprises · Hello SMEs” campaign, Huzhou recently held the kickoff ceremony for its 2025 SME Service Month, alongside a specialized training session for the “Enterprise Assist” volunteer service program. The event centered on the needs of small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMEs), leveraging policy support and training sessions to inject new momentum into their growth.

During the ceremony, the city awarded certificates of appointment and plaques to the first cohort of 2025 “Enterprise Assist” volunteers, along with their designated volunteer service workstations and “Enterprise Home” support centers. The event then proceeded with policy briefings on key initiatives, including structured overseas expansion strategies for manufacturing enterprises and tiered development programs for innovative micro and small enterprises. Government representatives also provided comprehensive explanations of the draft Implementation Rules for the “Enterprise Assist” Volunteer Service Management Measures and the Revised Service Voucher Management Protocol, both currently open for public feedback. These sessions aimed to enhance volunteers’ policy advisory skills and technical proficiency, ensuring a stronger foundation for delivering targeted enterprise support services in the future.

The Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology stated that the Service Month will focus on key priorities including policy advocacy, financing facilitation, and digital transformation, with 38 dedicated support activities scheduled for enterprises. The “Enterprise Home” centers across districts and counties will tailor innovative service models to the needs of SMEs, thereby strengthening citywide enterprise service ecosystem.
