China's Industrial and Commercial Bank (ICBC), the world's largest commercial lender by assets, has launched an 80 billion yuan ($11.04 billion) technology and innovation fund to bolster the private sector.
The state-owned bank announced that the fund will focus on 'hard technology' fields such as semiconductors and advanced manufacturing rather than 'soft' technology like internet services.
ICBC chairman Liao Lin emphasised that the initiative aligns with central leadership directives, aiming to turn supportive policies into tangible benefits for private enterprises. The bank described the fund as 'patient capital,' indicating a long-term investment strategy rather than a rush for quick profits.
The launch follows China's recent policy priorities for 2025, unveiled at its annual parliamentary meeting, which stress boosting consumption and achieving technological advances amid ongoing tensions with the US.
Additionally, the government plans to establish a state-backed fund to raise 1 trillion yuan from private investment to support technology startups.
