A new united front platform in Jinan's Lixia District Central Business District integrates political guidance, resource coordination, service empowerment, and achievement transformation through an innovative operational model. The platform adopts a dual-title "one station, one base" framework that combines a workstation for gathering new social strata in commercial buildings with a practice innovation base for science and technology professionals. This approach both connects professionals from various sectors such as finance and law within commercial buildings and provides targeted support for technology innovation groups.
The newly renovated facility in the core area of Jinan CBD features rationally designed multifunctional spaces including fully-equipped meeting rooms, professional legal service offices, private counseling rooms, and open reading areas. According to Liu Qingzhe, the platform's secretary-general and United Front Affairs official from Yaojia Subdistrict Office, this represents the first dedicated service center for science and technology professionals among new social strata in Jinan CBD, which became operational in late 2024 after renovations.
The platform operates through a three-tier management structure of "station chief + secretary-general + liaison officers" that enables effective integration of government and enterprise resources. Enterprise leaders serve as station chiefs, bringing resources and influence to attract more professionals; full-time secretaries-general handle daily operations; and industry specialists act as liaison officers for precise coordination with businesses across different sectors.
Recent activities have included thematic salons on artificial intelligence technology and regular events scheduled weekly, monthly, and quarterly to address diverse needs. These encompass policy interpretation sessions by experts, professional technology sharing events, and general activities addressing daily requirements. The platform has facilitated significant outcomes, including organizing technical forums that attracted over 100 participants from Jinan CBD and enabling business partnerships between companies.
Focusing specifically on science and technology innovation, the platform has introduced multiple support measures such as direct policy communication channels, expert service stations for legal and financial matters, and brand matrix development. Numerous high-growth enterprises and nationally recognized specialized innovative firms have joined the platform, covering key industries including new-generation information technology and new materials.
The platform has established industry-academia-research-application connection bridges, resolving more than 60 enterprise challenges, serving over 100 technology innovation companies, and facilitating several breakthrough achievements that have stimulated urban innovation vitality. It also maintains regular channels for collecting suggestions from new social strata professionals, providing valuable technology perspectives for policy formulation.
Future plans involve deepening the "one platform, multiple points" model to connect more research institutions and enterprises, positioning the platform as both a growth accelerator for science and technology companies and an efficient resource exchange hub.
