From June 17th to 18th, the 2026 Lujiazui Forum was held in Shanghai. Liu Jun, President of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), attended the forum's opening ceremony and delivered a keynote speech at the plenary session titled "Improving the Full Lifecycle Service System for Sci-tech Finance to Serve High-Quality Development of the Real Economy."
ICBC will continue to advance its work in sci-tech finance by building an ecosystem service platform to provide comprehensive financial solutions for technological innovation enterprises. Firstly, it aims to enhance the efficiency of resource allocation to help accelerate the output and value creation of new technologies. Secondly, it commits to supporting the growth of tech companies, moving beyond traditional financial metrics to further unlock the option premiums embedded in a firm's technology, computing power, data, and models. Thirdly, it seeks to stimulate market supply and demand, integrating client needs organically into the provision of financial services. Fourthly, it will focus on cultivating financial talent, building a specialized service team that not only understands financial principles broadly but also possesses deep, vertical expertise in specific industries.
During his stay in Shanghai, President Liu Jun also met with Marshall Mills, the IMF's Chief Representative in China, and visited the China Pacific Insurance (Group) Co., Ltd. He additionally oversaw the progress of educational activities on establishing and practicing a correct view of political performance, as well as the efforts to provide high-quality services for the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta region by ICBC's branches in the area.
