On August 18th, the "Innovation Finance Leading the Future" forum, organized by Research Institute of Tsinghua University in Shenzhen and sponsored by Shenzhen Lihe Financial Holdings Co., Ltd., was held in Shenzhen. Over 200 renowned scholars from across the country, as well as experts from government agencies, the technology sector, financial industry, and industrial sector, gathered to deeply analyze and discuss new approaches and models for financial support in technological innovation. Mr. Jiang Yuyang, Vice Chairman of the Shenzhen Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee and Chairman of Shenzhen Association for Science and Technology, attended the forum and delivered a speech.

In his speech, Jiang Yuyang emphasized that the development of technological innovation relies on high-level financial support. Without a corresponding financial system, it is difficult for technological innovation to achieve large-scale industrialization. Therefore, it is particularly important to establish a diversified, multi-level, comprehensive, and sustainable financial service system for technological innovation. Financial institutions need to closely focus on the innovation chain and industrial chain, lengthen and deepen the financial service chain, continuously innovate and optimize financial products, markets, and service systems according to the different needs of technology companies at various development stages, and provide diversified relay-style financial services throughout their entire lifecycle.

During the forum, Ji Shishan, the Dean of Tsinghua University Research Institute in Shenzhen, introduced the institute's exploration and beneficial experiences in constructing a deeply integrated technological innovation incubation system that combines academia, industry, and research. He mentioned that with the support of science and technology finance, the institute has cumulatively incubated more than 3,000 enterprises and over 30 listed companies. They have practiced a development model that deeply integrates the innovation chain, industrial chain, capital chain, and talent chain, fostering resilient market entities and contributing to the establishment of a sound science and technology financial system.

The forum invited renowned economists Zhang Laiwu and Yu Xuejun to deliver keynote speeches on "New Finance in the Digital Era" and "Global Liquidity Contraction: Prominent Challenges Facing China's Economic Growth," respectively. Six guests, including Xu Zhenghe and Yao Zhiwei, participated in a roundtable discussion on topics such as technology research and development, practice of technology transfer, and how technology finance supports high-level technological self-reliance.
