China unveiled sweeping policy measures on Tuesday aimed at revolutionizing innovation collaboration between enterprises, signaling a strategic shift toward fostering synergy across business scales. The guidelines emphasize creating a 'collaborative and efficient ecosystem' by requiring large enterprises to share technical resources with small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs).
Guo Chunli, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Macroeconomic Research under the NDRC, described the move as a response to China's evolving innovation landscape. "We're entering an era where breakthroughs require coordinated efforts across all enterprise sizes," she stated, highlighting mandates for technology transfer programs and joint R&D initiatives.
The policy framework introduces three key mechanisms:
Open innovation platforms connecting corporate R&D centers with startups
Cross-enterprise mentorship programs pairing industry leaders with SMEs
Shared intellectual property pools for critical technologies
Analysts suggest these measures could reshape Asia's tech supply chains while creating new opportunities for foreign investors seeking partnerships in advanced manufacturing and green energy sectors.
