On August 10th, the 4th Hefei Overseas Talent Capital Project Matchmaking Conference in 2023 was successfully held at Hefei Qidi Technology City. The docking meeting has become a national offshore innovation and entrepreneurship base for overseas talents (Hefei) brand activity, aiming to increase the development of global innovation and entrepreneurship resources, accelerate integration into the global innovation network, gather and link global innovation resources, achieve collaborative interaction between domestic and foreign, attract high-level overseas talents and teams to enrich innovation and entrepreneurship, serve the in-depth implementation of innovation driven development strategy in Hefei, and assist in high-quality development of Hefei.
Zhu Han, Secretary of the Party Group of the Municipal Association for Science and Technology, delivered an enthusiastic speech. In recent years, Hefei has introduced a series of policies to serve the development of talents, forming the Municipal Talent Group, which includes top talents, industry scarce talents, young talents, and international talents in the scope of policy support. This provides strong talent protection and intellectual support for the construction of a comprehensive national science center in Hefei and the creation of an innovation capital with international influence. The purpose of the overseas talent capital project docking meeting is to continuously build a bridge between overseas talent projects and capital, provide a platform for communication and cooperation, and jointly contribute to the high-quality development of Hefei. Hefei will welcome overseas talents to start businesses in Hefei with a more open attitude, and provide more excellent services to help overseas talents develop in Hefei. I hope more overseas talents will choose Hefei, stay in Hefei, take root in Hefei, become urban partners in Hefei, and jointly create a better future for Hefei's science and technology innovation!
Liu Na, Deputy General Manager of the Fund Management Department of Hefei Innovation Technology Venture Capital Co., Ltd., introduced in detail the relevant content of Hefei Angel Investment Fund to the attending guests, helping overseas projects find financing methods. The fund is supported by high-level technology talent teams, outstanding projects in various innovation and entrepreneurship competitions, and university students who are engaged in innovation and entrepreneurship in Hefei, with direct equity investment as the main operating mode. In the field of scientific and technological achievements transformation, although some research teams and start-ups have "hard technology", the conversion rate is not high due to a lack of funds. The establishment of the Hefei Seed Fund aims to explore the role of state-owned capital, intervene and support in the "first mile" of scientific and technological achievements transformation, and help research teams establish technology enterprises on site.
Zheng Derong, Senior Manager of Silicon Valley at University of Science and Technology of China, deeply interpreted the implementation rules of the "Silicon Valley of Science and Technology of China" policy from six special policies: linking global innovation resources, establishing new research and development models, transforming innovative technology achievements, encouraging technology entrepreneurship, gathering innovative and entrepreneurial talents, and innovating investment and financing models. The aim is to introduce a comprehensive service platform that aggregates alumni resources, cultivates scientific and technological innovation entities, develops scientific and technological innovation services, and creates an innovative ecosystem to overseas talents present.
Yin Ying, the Managing Director of Enlightenment Star Venture Capital, titled "Technology Venture Capital at the Right Time", analyzed the current equity investment market situation from an investor's perspective and combined it with data, and provided relevant summary suggestions. Yin Ying stated that entrepreneurs should make good use of the special resource advantages of state-owned funds and choose appropriate areas to land based on their own business characteristics, with a clear self-awareness and positioning, Be alert to the overvaluation situation in the early stages, keep up with the pace of the capital market, "accumulate grain outside, practice skills inside, control risks, and value cash flow", and do not blindly become obsessed with IPOs, especially in the hard technology field of entrepreneurship. Suitable industrial mergers and acquisitions are good choices from the perspective of economy and business development.
