Icesource (CBFI), after first receiving the honor in 2015, has once again made it onto the list. This marks the tenth consecutive year since 2015 that Icesource (CBFI) has received this distinction. The certificate number is GR202444013088. (2015/2018/2021/2024, a rigorous review every three years).
01 Innovation-driven high-quality development
High tech enterprises refer to enterprises that continuously conduct research and development and transform technological achievements in the "National Key Supported High tech Fields", form core independent intellectual property rights, and carry out business activities based on this. They are knowledge intensive and technology intensive economic entities.
The recognition of high-tech enterprises is a comprehensive evaluation and recognition of the enterprise's independent intellectual property rights, technological achievement transformation, high-tech product (service) income, research and development funding investment, and financial status. It needs to go through layers of screening and strict examination. Enterprises that have passed high-tech certification are those with strong R&D and technological innovation capabilities in their industry, which can play a demonstrative role in the industry.
The certification of Icesource (CBFI) as a high-tech enterprise is not only an affirmation and recognition of its technical research and development level and innovation ability in the ice-making equipment industry, but also the best proof of our unremitting efforts in research and development innovation.
