According to the Administrative Measures for the Recognition of High-Tech Enterprises promulgated by the Chinese government in 2008, high-tech enterprises in China generally refer to resident enterprises that continuously engage in research and development (R&D) and technological achievement transformation within the scope of the National Key Supported High-Tech Fields issued by the state, form core independent intellectual property rights, and conduct business activities based on such intellectual property. These enterprises are knowledge-intensive and technology-intensive economic entities.

  In the era of the knowledge economy, the high-tech industry has increasingly become a core driver of technological progress and economic growth. As one of the key entities promoting national industrial transformation and technological innovation, the development of high-tech enterprises not only enhances the technological added value of traditional industries and promotes the high-efficiency operation of the national economy but also radiates to surrounding areas, jointly driving progress across various regional sectors.

  To support related research, CnOpenData has compiled and released extended basic information data on Chinese high-tech enterprises. This dataset includes extended basic information fields of high-tech enterprises up to the latest year, such as taxpayer identification number(纳税人识别号), enterprise address(企业地址), registered capital(注册资本), registration time(注册时间), industry information(行业信息), latitude and longitude(经纬度), and business scope(经营范围).
