The ascent of global tech giants owes much to the backing of venture capital. In the first half of this year, investment in high-tech industries witnessed a 4.6% year-on-year growth, signaling a sustained resurgence in venture capital activity. Industry experts note that advancements in AI technology are the primary catalyst for the current revival in the venture capital market, with capital increasingly flowing into sectors such as AI, quantum technology, and computing power. Data reveals that by the first half of 2026, the cumulative financing for China’s AI startups had exceeded 300 billion yuan, surpassing the total for the entire year of 2025. This concentrated influx of funds has triggered a sharp rise in valuations, making “securing investment quotas” a buzzword in the primary market.
