The Shanxi Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology announced the 2025 list of provincial-level small and micro-sized enterprise (SME) innovation and entrepreneurship bases on Dec 9, three of which are located in Taiyuan.

After procedures such as enterprise application, recommendation by municipal-level SME administrative authorities, and expert evaluation, the provincial-level bases include industrial park-based, building-based, and logistics-based types.

The three bases from Taiyuan are all building-based: the Wanshui Innovation and Entrepreneurship Base in Wanbailin district, Taiyuan, operated by Shanxi Huajie Hongtu Enterprise Management Consulting Co; the Jinshuo Brand Incubation Base, operated by Shanxi Jinshuo Technology Group Co; and the Guyuan SME Innovation and Entrepreneurship Base in Xinghualing district, operated by Shanxi Guyuan Network Technology Co.

As platforms for technological incubation, these building-based innovation and entrepreneurship bases are divided into incubation zones, growth zones, and public service zones. They provide low-cost space, shared facilities, and public services.

By sharing scientific research facilities and connecting industrial chain resources, they help SMEs avoid detours in technology R&D and market expansion.
