The General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Promoting the Deep Integration of Technological Innovation and Industrial Innovation" on October 21, 2026, with the goals of developing new quality productive forces and building a modern industrial system, and of establishing an industry-led, multi-actor collaborative system for integrated innovation across industry, academia, and research. The Opinions set out specific arrangements in six areas: promoting seamless connection between innovation chains and industrial chains, supporting the building of a modern industrial system with high-quality scientific and technological supply, strengthening industry-led integrated innovation across industry, academia, and research, improving the efficiency of coordinated allocation of innovation resources, fostering a sound ecosystem for deep integration, and expanding the development space for deep integration. Regarding the market environment, the Opinions call for removing institutional barriers that unreasonably restrict innovative products from entering the market, carrying out pilot programs to relax market access in new business forms and new fields, and exploring a commitment-based market entry system; strengthening regulation of the application of new technologies, exploring sandbox regulatory approaches, and promoting the improvement of laws and regulations in frontier fields such as artificial intelligence and biotechnology, and improving ethical rules and standards for science and technology.
