編者按：寧波幫，是值得所有寧波人引以為豪的商幫，是中國近代最大的商幫，在中國的近代史發(fā)展中扮演了舉足輕重的角色，在中國近代史上創(chuàng)造了100多個“中國第一”和“中國之最”。

黨的十八屆五中全會提出五大發(fā)展理念，創(chuàng)新是其中之一。對于一代代寧波幫來說，創(chuàng)新，也正是他們的傳奇經歷所詮釋的精神內涵。而如今，在新技術革命的浪潮下，創(chuàng)新，對于他們來說，不僅是標簽，更是一種發(fā)展模式。

潮起甬江，奔騰東去。新一代甬商背負著“寧波幫”的精神財富，以更開闊的視野、更先進的理念再出發(fā)，掀起創(chuàng)業(yè)創(chuàng)新的大潮，書寫科學發(fā)展的新輝煌。

Ningbo Merchants （Ningbo Bang） was one of the biggest commercial groups in Ming and Qing dynasties， and played a really important role in the development of modern industry and commerce in China. Historically， Ningbo Merchants had been industry leaders in many fields in China. They founded the first bank owned by Chinese， the first exchange for Chinese merchants， the first private shipping company， the first modern woolen plant and the first Red Cross organization in China and so forth.

For generations of Ningbo Merchants， “being courageous and innovative” contributes to their huge success in the business world and is one of the most important spirits of Ningbo Merchants. At present， the new generation of Ningbo Merchants are trying to achieve greater development under the background of nationwide entrepreneurship and innovation.
