The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has recently published the seventh list of national manufacturing individual champion enterprises and products. Ten enterprises and products from Changsha were shortlisted. So far, Changsha has 5 national manufacturing individual champion enterprises and 21 such products, with the total number ranking the first among cities in central China. The list has been released by the ministry since 2016, said the city's bureau of industry and information on February 3.

According to a person in charge of the Changsha Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, Changsha issued methods to certify "little giant" firms in the industrial and information category as early as in 2019, providing precise recognition and guidance for the gradient cultivation of enterprises. Additionally, the city has made continued efforts to carry out incubation camp activities aimed at developing "little giant" companies into manufacturing individual champion enterprises. To date, Changsha is home to 185 "little giant" enterprises, with sufficient reserves of champion enterprises.

The "little giant" companies represent the novel elites of China's small and medium-sized enterprises that specialize in a niche market, boast cutting-edge technologies, and show great potential.
