Weihai initiative fuels enterprise-led innovation

Weihai, Shandong province, has announced the 2025 list of "One Company, One Technology" R&D centers, highlighting the city's commitment to driving industrial growth through enterprise-led research.

Launched to strengthen research and development within individual companies, the program has become a cornerstone of Weihai's strategy to improve competitiveness and modernize key industries.

Wego Shingene Medical Technology, a leading enterprise in medical consumables, earned a spot on the list. The company has successfully developed key products like microbial culture bottles and arterial blood gas needles. These innovations have not only replaced previously imported goods but have also played a significant role in modernizing the broader medical technology industry.

The Weihai Torch Hi-tech Science Park has played a central role in promoting these centers. Its proactive support has fostered a dynamic innovation ecosystem, now home to 31 provincial-level and 86 municipal-level centers, making it a city leader in both scale and quality.

The growing recognition of these enterprises reflects Weihai's long-term commitment to high-tech manufacturing and its expanding role as a hub for industrial innovation in Shandong province. (Edited by Hu Kaili)
