On February 26, 2026, the Information Office of the Zhejiang Provincial Government convened a press conference to unveil the '8+4' economic policy framework for the year 2026. This framework is set to robustly bolster technological innovation, seizing the opportunity presented by the collaborative establishment of the Yangtze River Delta International Science and Technology Innovation Center. By doing so, Zhejiang aims to attract and implement a greater number of national strategic missions, science and technology innovation platforms, and tech projects within its borders.

Concurrently, the province will deeply implement the 'Artificial Intelligence+' strategy, championing the creation of concept verification centers, pilot testing platforms, and manufacturing innovation hubs, among others. In the realm of tech finance, Zhejiang is committed to enhancing its support, with a vision to achieve a tech loan balance surpassing 4.2 trillion yuan. Additionally, it plans to expand the scale of provincial venture capital fund clusters and leverage the Zhejiang Social Security Science and Technology Innovation Fund to steer more capital towards early-stage, small-scale, and cutting-edge tech enterprises, thereby providing ample financial backing for innovation.
