At a dedicated press conference today, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) revealed that the National Venture Capital Guidance Fund will ramp up its backing for emerging and future industries. The fund will also set up a national integrated service platform and offer value-added services to the enterprises it invests in. Bai Jingyu, Director of the Innovation and High-Tech Development Department at the NDRC, highlighted that the guidance fund will work in tandem with fund management institutions, zeroing in on regions with vibrant innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystems. Its primary investment focus will be on early-stage projects and seed-stage enterprises operating in sectors such as integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, aerospace, the low-altitude economy, biological manufacturing, and future energy sources. This strategic move aims to inspire financial institutions and private capital to join forces in these endeavors. In addition, the guidance fund will forge a top-tier, expansive, and all-inclusive venture capital service framework. Leveraging a national integrated service platform, it will deliver value-added services—ranging from corporate governance and strategic planning to human resources and industrial collaboration—to bolster the enduring growth of these enterprises.
