The EU's implementation of CBAM carbon tariffs may impact the export competitiveness of my country's small and medium-sized enterprises. Foreign brands' requirements for energy conservation and carbon reduction in the supply chain have only increased rather than decreased. The implementation of net-zero transformation in series with upstream and downstream enterprises has become an urgent international trend. In order to help China's small and medium-sized enterprise owners, high-level managers and second-generation successors smoothly integrate with the international net-zero emission goal, the Small, Medium and New Enterprises Agency of the Ministry of Economic Affairs has created a comprehensive counseling and diagnostic resources, provided practical courses and related training activities, and accumulated corporate transformation volume Can enhance competitive advantage and formulate relevant carbon reduction measures according to corporate needs:
The first stage: Cultivate carbon knowledge and carbon reduction awareness through workshops, including practical courses such as carbon inventory, carbon neutrality, and benchmarking company learning.
The second stage: Professional consultants will come to the factory for guidance, conduct status analysis and hot spot diagnosis, and provide carbon reduction suggestions and benefit assessment projects for the entire factory.
The third stage: Provide diagnostic coaching programs to guide small and medium-sized enterprises to introduce low-carbon and smart solutions, and assist in planning digital and sustainable dual transformation paths.
In order to encourage companies to move towards net zero and invest in carbon reduction with peace of mind, the Ministry of Economic Affairs has formulated subsidy measures for different types of upgrading and transformation, innovative research and development and financing (interest subsidies and loans) as shown below. In the field of upgrading and transformation, the Small, Medium and New Enterprises Administration's "Low-carbon and smart upgrading and transformation subsidy for small and medium-sized manufacturing industries (regularly employing less than 9 employees)" and the Industrial Development Administration's "Small and medium-sized manufacturing industries (regularly employing less than 10 employees)" "Above) Low Carbon and Intelligent Upgrading and Transformation Case Subsidy" respectively subsidizes individual manufacturing industries with less than 9 people and more than 10 people to introduce relevant technologies, equipment and management mechanisms, and jointly move towards low carbon and intelligent upgrading and transformation. In addition, the Industrial Development Department's "Low-carbon and smart upgrading and transformation subsidy for large-scale and small-scale manufacturing" mainly subsidizes the manufacturing industry to use the "large-scale and small-scale" approach, that is, central factories (regularly employing more than 10 employees) to drive supply Chain operators are accelerating the introduction of low-carbon and smart technologies to enhance China's industrial competitiveness and economic resilience. In the field of innovative R&D, the Small, Medium and New Enterprises Agency hopes to drive innovative R&D activities of domestic small and medium-sized enterprises through the "Small Business Innovation R&D Program (SBIR) Themed Alliance Program", assist their knowledge layout, cultivate R&D talents, and use R&D The results support the industrial system and promote Taiwan's economic development.
The Industrial Development Department has launched the "Industrial Upgrading Innovation Platform Mentoring Program (TIIP)" to encourage enterprises to engage in technological innovation and related application research, or to develop applications and services with technological content, and to help build industrial innovation operating models through The formation of China's innovation ecosystem promotes industrial upgrading, enhances industrial added value, and links the international market. In addition, regarding the issues of recycling, remanufacturing and zero waste, the Small, Medium and New Enterprises Agency of the Ministry of Economic Affairs also uses a professional coaching team to assist in innovative applications such as circular economy innovative technologies, green design, operation service models or product development, and provide consultation, etc. Care services, enhance the recycling energy of small and medium-sized enterprises and connect with the international market. Through the above-mentioned coaching resources, my country's small and medium-sized enterprises can lay out overseas channels in advance, thereby exploring international markets, improving and strengthening industrial competitiveness and economic resilience.
