No need to rush, now even scientific research information, high-precision instruments can be shared; the reporter learned yesterday from the city's comprehensive reform demonstration zone, the district's science and technology innovation service platform has just been put into operation, lack of funds, lack of equipment, small and medium enterprises, innovation and entrepreneurship enterprises can get the appropriate software and hardware services on the platform.

"Yesterday, Zhang Wei, vice president of Shanxi Transformation and Reform Demonstration Zone enterprise Shanxi Noyun Information Technology Co. told reporters." The STI service platform is the 'Internet + Government Services'. "The relevant person in charge of the demonstration area said that the platform uses the Internet and big data and other means to integrate the province's science and technology innovation resources and entrepreneurial service resources online, providing the government, enterprises and innovation institutions with Internet-based interoperability and mutual trust in integrated public innovation services.

Currently, the platform has included information on 2,693 instruments. Registered companies can find the required instrument, the specification of that instrument, the name of the unit to which it belongs, the contact person, the contact number and other information in the platform by searching, etc. Companies wanting to use the instrument can simply book it on the platform. The platform also contains 296 pieces of information on research manufacturers, 112 pieces of information on research experts, and 11 pieces of information on key laboratories. Ltd. vice president Zhang Wei told reporters that the company December 8 in the platform booked the biological research institute of Shanxi Province, the use of a week, for the company's product experiments, spending about 5,000 yuan. "This service introduced by the demonstration zone is very beneficial for us SMEs, we can achieve the purpose of using it with little expense, which reduces the burden of the business and helps us to do R&D." Zhang Wei said.
In addition, the platform provides a "scientific and technical literature search" service, which allows registered companies to view literature that previously required payment for free. "Simply put, the demonstration area buys back the scientific and technical literature that you have to pay for and makes it available for registered businesses to view for free." The person in charge of the demonstration area said.
