New quality productivity, with innovation at its core, requires disruptive and original technologies to drive innovation. Shaping new quality productivity necessitates the development of a high-quality labor force, which ultimately depends on new quality talent. As the main force of economic development, science and technology-based SMEs must prioritize the construction of new quality talent teams. This study first defines the concept of new talent and outlines four key qualities. It then analyzes several challenges in the construction of new talent teams within science and technology-based SMEs, including insufficient attention to talent development, a lack of sufficient talent, an unreasonable talent structure, and the absence of clear career growth paths. The study proposes solutions to address these issues, such as increasing attention to new talent development, establishing an incentive system for new quality talents, improving the training system, and creating clear growth paths for talents. This study aims to improve the quality of new talent teams within science and technology-based SMEs and promote the innovative development of these enterprises.
