Steadily promote research and development of major strategic products such as carbon emission rights to help the development of strategic emerging industries such as new energy and energy storage. Give full play to the role of good indices and indexed investment as important carriers connecting investment and financing in the capital market, support index institutions to focus on key regions, key industries, and key enterprises to step up research and development efforts on the Science and Technology Innovation Index, and actively build a benchmark index with scientific and technological innovation characteristics. Support securities fund management institutions to develop technology-themed fund products in line with national strategies, improve active management capabilities, and actively invest in technology-based enterprises. Enrich the categories of science and technology innovation indices and tradable open index funds, promote the gathering of more medium- to long-term capital to develop new quality productivity, and further guide science and technology innovation index fund instruments to play a greater role in promoting innovation-driven development.
