Zhang Leidi of China Life Equity Company: The key now is to continuously attract long-term patient capital.

Against the backdrop of the seventh anniversary of the STAR Market's launch, Zhang Leidi, General Manager of China Life Equity Investment Co., Ltd., stated to reporters on August 10 that the company is currently focused on cutting-edge areas such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, life sciences, and commercial aerospace. "These sectors have sufficiently broad market space, with technology accelerating iteration and innovation, possessing the potential to enter global markets. We believe these sectors have the potential to nurture world-class technology giants." On this basis, Zhang further stated that the key right now is to continuously attract long-term patient capital, using the capital market's long-term mechanism to continually support enterprises' long-term R&D investment and global strategic layout. The STAR Market has continuously optimized various policy measures, including mechanisms for mergers and acquisitions and equity incentives, providing increasingly sound institutional support for the growth of world-class enterprises. Looking ahead, as the system for patient capital continues to improve and the innovation ecosystem keeps optimizing, the A-share market is sure to see the emergence of more technology-leading enterprises rooted in China and leading the world.
