In 1987, Wuhan took the lead in the country to put forward the strategy of "building a city through science and education", emphasizing that science and technology face the main battlefield of economic construction。However, the high-tech industry has the characteristics of high investment, high risk and high output, lack of financial support, research and development can not be guaranteed, and scientific and technological achievements are difficult to transform into real productivity。

为了唤醒沉睡的“知本”，10多年前，武汉开始探索科技金融之路，We have successively introduced policies to support financing for technology enterprises and loan pledges for patent rights，Optics Valley's two tech smes eat soup，Obtained a loan of 8 million yuan from the bank through the pledge of patent rights，Become the first batch of enterprises in Wuhan to obtain loans with scientific and technological achievements。

Capital escorts the growth of core technology enterprises

Since its establishment more than 30 years ago, Optics Valley has always regarded enterprises as the main body of innovation and development。Here, every day is staged enterprises from scratch, from small to large legend。这背后，资本的力量功不可没。

In August 2017, in Wuhan International Students Pioneer Park under Optical Valley Financial Holding Group, Wei Jun and his wife, who studied abroad in the UK, established Ruijian Medicine。Under the incubation of the incubator, the company's two internationally leading patents on in vitro induced nervous system were simultaneously authorized。

In order to support the further growth of the enterprise and accelerate the transformation of results, in January 2019, the Optical Valley Talent Fund of Optical Valley Financial Holding Group completed an angel investment of 3 million yuan in Ruijian Medicine。In July 2020, Optical Valley Financial Holding's equity sub-fund Renfu Industry Fund and Hehua Capital completed a Pre-A round of investment of 30 million yuan in Ruijian Pharmaceutical。In August last year, Ruijian Pharmaceutical announced the completion of nearly 100 million yuan A round of financing。At the end of January this year, the company completed A round of financing of nearly 100 million yuan。In less than 5 years, Ruijian has grown to become a leader in the development of chemically induced adult cell drugs。

The total investment size of Optical Valley Talent Fund is 11.600 million yuan, becoming one of the most active angel funds in the country。After the investment period of the fund expires in 2020, it will be upgraded to the "Optical Valley Partner Fund" with a scale of 1 billion yuan, and the talent factor will be directly included in the return calculation for the first time, and the sub-fund investment in Optical Valley talent enterprises and early-stage talent enterprises will be given 1.2倍和1.The 5x reinvestment identification weighting, with market-oriented means to guide high-quality investment institutions to pay attention to, invest and introduce high-level talents, the declaration prerequisite and investment quota can be benchmarked against similar guide funds in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Suzhou and other places。In 2021, the application of the fund has been started, and the declaration of social investment institutions is accepted all the year round。

The Optical Valley Fund continues to strengthen its ability to lead social capital, and the Optical Valley Venture Capital Guide Fund, Optical Valley Partner Fund, and direct Investment Fund "perform their respective roles" to fully tap the growth value of Optical Valley technology enterprises。

At the end of December last year, Hua Yincore announced the completion of 1.3亿元B1轮融资。At this point, the Optics Valley Gazelle enterprise, which was established only 4 years ago, has completed 5 rounds of financing totaling hundreds of millions of yuan。As early as August 2018, Hubei Science and Technology Angel Fund and Optoelectronic Education Fund, which are shares of Optical Valley Financial Holding Group, completed 1 million yuan and 7 million yuan Pre-A round of investment in Huyincore, respectively, which effectively supported the continuous development of enterprise technology research and development。At present, the performance of flip, vertical, high voltage and Mini/Micro-LED chips and light sources independently developed by Huayin Core has reached the world's first-line level。

In 2014, Optical Valley Financial Holdings Direct Investment Fund also participated in the investment of Zhongke Tongda, investing 29 million yuan, which is one of the earliest local capital of Optical Valley to firmly support its development。

In the development process of Zhongke Tongda, Optics Valley Financial Holding firmly accompanied the growth of the enterprise, strongly supported the development and growth of the enterprise, and finally successfully landed on the science and Technology innovation board, and finally realized the "four or two" effect of government funds。
