Core Viewpoint - The integration of finance and technology is accelerating the restructuring of the industrial landscape, but significant shortcomings remain in financial support for technological innovation, particularly in early-stage investments [3][4]. Group 1: Current State of Technology Financing - The conversion rate of technological achievements in China was only 25% in 2010 and is projected to reach 35% by 2024, indicating a significant gap compared to developed countries [3]. - Early-stage venture capital (VC) and angel investments constitute a small proportion of total risk investment, leading to a lack of early funding for high-tech projects [3][4]. - The financing structure is predominantly indirect, with over 70% of social financing being indirect, which is not conducive to technological innovation [4]. Group 2: Challenges in Financial Support - There is a structural imbalance in resource allocation, with a focus on late-stage funding rather than early-stage investments [3]. - Risk investment often emphasizes commercial value assessment, neglecting the technological advantages and innovation characteristics of tech companies [3][4]. - Government goals and market behaviors are misaligned, as academic institutions focus on patent numbers without considering their conversion into tangible results [3][4]. Group 3: Proposed Solutions - Establishing government-guided funds and creating a multi-layered financing market, including technology loans and bonds, is essential for improving the funding landscape [4]. - The creation of Financial Asset Investment Companies (AIC) by banks can provide funding support throughout the entire lifecycle of tech enterprises [4]. - Investment funds, including government funds, should adhere to market and investment principles, establishing effective incentive and error-tolerance mechanisms [5]. Group 4: Importance of Technology Transfer - The transfer of technological achievements is crucial for converting technology into productivity, requiring a systematic process that includes capital attributes and cultural compatibility [5]. - Overcoming barriers such as reluctance to invest in early stages and risk aversion is necessary for transitioning from follower innovation to positioning innovation [5].
