"China creates new venture capital funds and new stockmarket to support high-tech companies".
The Chinese government has created 20 new venture capital funds to invest in the country's high tech sector. The Chinese National Reform and Development Commission (NRDC) said the new VC groups will operate in partnership with seven provincial governments. The NDRC did not specify the size of the funds, but stated that they would invest primarily in IT, biomedicine, new energy, energy efficiency, and environmental protection. The NDRC said, “The purpose of setting up the funds is to direct capital to invest in competitive high-tech enterprises and to improve their capacity for innovation.” More investment may be on the way soon. The NRDC indicated that the seven provincial governments--Beijing, Jilin, Shanghai, Anhui, Hunan, Chongqing, and Shenzhen--were just the 'first batch' to be selected. Overall, the NRDC expects to spend up to US$585 billion over the next two years, largely on government-backed infrastructure projects. China has also launched a new stock market, much like the American NASDAQ, intended to raise funds for small and medium-sized high tech companies. The shares of all of the 28 companies listed on the new exchange rose dramatically on the first day of trading.
