On July 20, the State Council Information Office convened a press conference to discuss industrial and information technology advancements in the first half of 2026. Wang Weiming, Chief Engineer at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, highlighted that since the start of the year, the ministry has prioritized streamlining the process for commercializing research results and nurturing tech-based startups, with a particular focus on bolstering the technology services sector. Three primary strategies have been implemented: First, enhancing incubation capabilities by creating a seamless service chain that spans from R&D and pilot testing to the incubation phase; Second, refining the trading market by tackling the issue of restricted national exposure for certain high-quality research outputs due to regional and channel limitations. The ministry is swiftly formulating policies to nurture a unified national technology market, with the goal of dismantling regional and institutional barriers in technology transactions, establishing a nationwide technology trading service platform, and facilitating the unrestricted flow of technological resources across the nation; Third, aiding the transformation of supply and demand outcomes by adhering to an industry-driven approach, utilizing the connecting role of technology managers, and streamlining the transition from research findings to real-world applications. Presently, the ministry is expediting the creation of reform measures to fortify the development of the technology manager workforce, with pertinent policies and standards slated for imminent release.
