The meeting emphasized that the period of the “15th Five-Year Plan” is a critical window for building a strong country in science and technology, and sci-tech finance should provide higher-quality services for a stronger country in science and technology. Relevant departments and institutions should pool their efforts and build momentum, continue to improve the mechanisms for sci-tech finance work, and solidly advance all key work throughout the year. Continue to strengthen coordinated interaction among relevant departments, local governments, and financial institutions, expand information sharing, speed up the development of a market for technology factors, and improve the efficiency of financial resource allocation.
