Focus with Six Main Industries of “Technological Innovation Board” and Eight Major Fields of “Hard Technology”; Construct Core Impetus for Developing Hard Technology

The technological innovation board attracting much attention is the “landing point” of many technological innovation-based enterprises planning to be listed. Thanks to the energetic development of “hard technology” and vigorous promotion of “Dragon Gate Plan” in Xi’an, after the official listing of Bright Laser Technologies and Western Superconducting on the technological innovation board, Xi’an, well-known both at home and aboard as the “capital of hard technology”, will continue to grasp the opportunity of “technological innovation board”, strengthen the efforts of FinTech innovation, optimize allocation of resources, and attract more financial capital for precise matching and efficient integration with technological innovation-based enterprises.

To further release its hard technology potentials in fields such as artificial intelligence, high-end equipment and photoelectric chip, promote the integration and matching between the “eight-route” hard technology enterprises of Xi’an and financial capital, the matching meeting for investment into and financing for “eight-route” hard technology enterprises was held successfully as scheduled. Closely around the six main industries of “technological innovation board” and the eight major fields of “hard technology” of Xi’an, the matching meeting conducted an in-depth analysis of the investment and financing trends, strategies and opportunities in various fields of hard technology, and helped medium-sized and small enterprises of Xi’an to discover problems during the financial process and be matched precisely to the capital on site. Xi’an will combine its resource advantages including science & education resources, science-and-technology enterprise incubation and innovative ecological rainforest, to expand and develop the core impetus of “eight-route” hard technology enterprises, and become a highland for domestic and international innovation and entrepreneurship as well as a basin for the accumulation of financial capital. Besides, the Summit also had its characteristic “Program One-to-One Discussing Meeting” and exhibition area to provide professional guidance for precise matching between enterprises and institutions on site, which received unanimous recognition by its attendees.

Finance is the core and bloodline of modern economy, and innovation is an important force to promote development. To develop venture capital is of great importance for improving urban technological impetus. Today, at the same time of actively optimizing innovation environment and gathering innovation resources, Xi’an is also constantly improving the ability of financial industry to serve the development of real economy.

Xi’an has sent an official and cordial invitation to global capital, and responded to concerns from the venture capital industry, which fully demonstrates the determination of this “capital of venture capital investment” to explore new force. The successful holding of the Summit will win even broader development prospects for Xi’an and forge even stronger source power for the development of global venture capital industry.
