During the prevention and control of the COVID-19, many scientific and technological enterprises in our city, according to the deployment of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, gave play to their advantages in scientific innovation, bravely shouldered social responsibilities, quickly mobilized scientific research backbones to invest in the research and development of epidemic prevention products, and launched a series of "hard core" products to the market. What is the driving force behind companies achieving such impressive results in a short period of time?
Liu Ziyang, Project Manager of Anhui Lijian Defense Technology Co., Ltd. In order to accurately and quickly identify fever patients, he led a team to develop an intelligent infrared thermal imaging temperature screening device that can measure body temperature in seconds after more than 20 days of scientific research and development.

There are scientific researchers like Liu Ziyang who are working on the front line of epidemic prevention, as well as Mao Siyuan, the technical director of Anhui Dongchao Technology Co., Ltd.

In order to cut off daily contact pollution sources and avoid cross infection, Mao Siyuan led his team to overcome numerous difficulties and successively launched the country's first contactless hospital self-service machine and the world's first contactless floating elevator button terminal to the society within a month.

In the research and development process, Dongchao Technology has solidly implemented various epidemic prevention measures, providing an excellent research environment for researchers.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, our city has deployed 11 emergency projects in two batches around the needs of epidemic prevention and control and the direction of key breakthroughs, invested 4.68 million yuan in research and development, and worked together in five fields, including clinical treatment, biomedicine, epidemic prevention equipment, epidemic prevention detection, and smart medicine. Many key achievements have been made and put into use, providing strong scientific and technological support for epidemic prevention and control.

IFlytek's "Intelligent Medical Assistant" has followed up 20.45 million people in 30 provinces and cities during the epidemic

Why were so many important achievements successfully developed and put into use in a relatively short period of time? In addition to the research and development capabilities of the enterprises themselves, Yang Renfa, Vice President of Hefei Institute of Regional Economy and Urban Development, said that the assistance of the external environment cannot be ignored. Since the establishment of the "Industrial oriented City" strategy in 2005, our city has actively relied on abundant educational and scientific research resources to focus on building strategic emerging industries. In just over a decade, the entire industrial chain in multiple fields has been formed. This is an important external environmental condition for the "epidemic" in Hefei's science and technology war.

In addition to having a strong foundation in basic scientific research and industrial manufacturing, the entire business environment and industrial policies in Hefei also play a crucial role in promoting the development of high-tech and technology-based enterprises.

In the face of the epidemic, our city actively adjusts existing policies, responds quickly, and takes multiple measures to safeguard the "epidemic" of the science and technology war. In terms of resuming production and work in enterprises, multiple departments have taken the lead in drafting city wide enterprise classification and regional resumption arrangements and prevention and control measures, providing employees with epidemic prevention manuals, epidemic prevention and control and resumption work plans, emergency response work plans, etc., to guide enterprises to resume production in an orderly manner.

In order to strengthen financial support, the Municipal Science and Technology Bureau has introduced a series of preferential policies, increasing the cultivation and support policies for high-tech enterprises, and expanding the scale of technology finance products such as "innovation loans" to help start-up technology enterprises and technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises quickly obtain preferential loans. The Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology has issued the Hefei version of the "12 Measures for Fighting Against the Epidemic and Benefiting Enterprises", supporting small and medium-sized enterprises to overcome difficulties in finance, taxation, employment and other aspects.

Prevention and control are responsibilities, technology is strength. During the anti epidemic period, various departments and technology enterprises in our city actively responded to the call of the science and technology war, joined forces in prevention and control, bravely took on responsibilities, and took the initiative. This not only accelerated the transformation of basic scientific research achievements, but also strengthened the confidence of the whole society to overcome the epidemic.
