Core Viewpoint - The integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation is essential for driving economic growth in the context of a restructured global economic landscape. The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) emphasizes the need to activate the multi-tiered capital market to support this integration effectively [1][11]. Capital Market Development - China's capital market has shown activity in funding sectors like technology, media, communication, and consumption, but remains cautious in hard technology investments. The key to promoting the integration of technological and industrial innovation lies in ensuring efficient capital circulation across different stages and levels [3][4]. - The current capital market faces challenges such as uneven capital distribution, difficulties in early-stage project financing, long investment cycles, and insufficient exit channels [3][4][5]. Exit Channels and Liquidity - The reliance on IPOs as the primary exit strategy for venture capital institutions is problematic, as other exit methods like mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and S-fund transfers are underdeveloped [4][5]. - The development of S-funds is hindered by issues such as valuation difficulties and a lack of professional participants, which prevents the establishment of an efficient market for capital exits [4][5]. Policy Recommendations - To enhance the financing environment for technology enterprises, it is suggested to diversify exit channels beyond IPOs and M&A, and to encourage the development of equity M&A markets [4][9]. - Government initiatives, such as establishing technology guidance funds, can help direct social capital into key areas while reducing financing costs for enterprises [9][10]. - Tax incentives for long-term investments, such as tax breaks for investors holding shares for over five years, could encourage more stable capital allocation [9][10]. Market Structure and Coordination - Strengthening the coordination among various segments of the capital market is crucial. This includes improving the transfer mechanisms between different market segments to ensure that companies can access appropriate financing at various development stages [5][10]. - The capital market should function as a comprehensive, multi-tiered, and efficient "circulation network" to facilitate the flow of capital into and out of technological innovations [5][10]. Investment Trends and Data - As of June 20, 2025, the cumulative financing scale for high-tech enterprises in China's capital market reached 363.87 billion yuan, with 1,772 strategic emerging industry listed companies having a total market value of 20.80 trillion yuan, accounting for 20.47% of the total A-share market value [7]. - In 2024, A-share listed companies' R&D investment reached 1.88 trillion yuan, representing over 50% of the total social R&D investment, with a patent holding rate exceeding one-third of the national total [8].
