Drawing on the cutting-edge practice of IBI in the construction of industrial internet platforms, supply chain digital services, and empowering the real economy, Liu Quan profoundly explained the critical role of a healthy and active capital market in supporting technological innovation, cultivating new production capabilities, and promoting industrial upgrading. He emphasized the profound significance of in-depth integration of industrial innovation and capital flow in building a modern industrial system. During the forum, the series "China Capital Market Research: 30 Years, 30 Volumes" was launched, which compiled the essence of the forum's 30-year research, systematically outlining the reform and development trajectory of China's capital market. It is dubbed as a "Chronological Intellectual History of China's Capital Market", providing a solid academic foundation and systematic discourse support for the high-quality development of China's capital market and the construction of a strong financial nation.
For the past 30 years since its inception, the forum has continuously aligned with the pulse of China's financial reform, contributing the "Renmin University Plan" at critical junctures such as the split-share structure reform, the development of the GEM, and the construction of a strong financial nation. It has become a high ground for capital market theory exploration, a frontier for intellectual exchange, and a cradle for talent cultivation. Attending the 30th China Capital Market Forum recognizes IBI's innovative practice in the field of industrial digitalization. In the future, IBI will continue to leverage the resource allocation function of the capital market, deepen industrial internet innovation, promote the collaborative development of industry and capital, and contribute more to the high-quality development of China's capital market and the transformation and upgrading of the real economy.
