On January 12, the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Henan announced that in 2025, the province added 54 "little giant" enterprises and 465 provincial-level small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) recognized for their specialization, innovation, and high-end development. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021–2025), a total of 452 "little giant" enterprises and 5,340 SMEs were nurtured and remain qualified within their validity period.

1月12日，记者从河南省工业和信息化厅获悉，2025年全省新增专精特新“小巨人”企业54家、省级专精特新中小企业465家。“十四五”期间，全省累计培育有效期内专精特新“小巨人”企业452家、专精特新中小企业5340家。

Specialized, high-end, and innovation-driven enterprises are primarily concentrated in the manufacturing sector, focusing on niche markets and demonstrating strong innovation capabilities. Henan is home to over 5,000 such enterprises, which are mainly distributed across key industrial chains, including advanced engineering machinery, new chemical materials, biomedicine, advanced computing, and new energy vehicles. Nearly 80 percent of these enterprises derive over 95 percent of their revenue from their core businesses. Over the past three years, their R&D expenditures have averaged more than 10 percent of operating revenue. Almost 90 percent of these enterprises provide direct supporting products or services to well-known large companies both domestically and internationally, with some playing a critical supporting role within their respective industries.

专精特新企业主要集中于制造业领域，专注于细分市场并具备突出创新能力。我省5000多家专精特新企业主要分布在先进工程机械、化工新材料、生物医药、先进计算、新能源汽车等重点产业链，近八成企业主营业务收入占比达95%以上，近三年企业研发费用总额占营业收入总额比重平均超10%，近九成企业主导产品为国内外知名大企业提供直接配套，部分企业在行业领域实现关键支撑。（中文来源：河南日报 记者：陈辉 编译：杨佳欣 审校：丁岚 赵汉青）
