ChiNext, China's NASDAQ-style board that is part of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE), will strengthen support for high-technology companies to meet the needs of mass entrepreneurship and the nation's innovation drive, an exchange official said.

SZSE General Manager Wang Jianjun made the remarks Saturday at a forum in Guangzhou, South China's Guangdong Province.

The ChiNext should promote its inclusiveness and actively adapt to the country's industrial upgrading, Wang said. Measures will be taken to channel more venture capital into high-technology, innovative companies, he said.

The State Council, China's cabinet, decided in May to start a new round of nationwide inspections focusing on reform progress to ensure that tasks for this year's economic and social work are achieved on schedule.
