Chinese banks will accept intellectual property as collateral and invite scientists and experts in the same field to help evaluate loan applications from SMEs in the IT industry, Liu said.

He also urged Chinese lenders to work closely with venture capital and private equity firms to provide sufficient financial support to SMEs in the IT industry.
