Conclusions
This paper has examined an array of complementary policy
measures that China utilizes to spur domestic R&D and
innovation in clean technology. These measures include:
l designing a national-level S&T strategy prioritizing
clean energy;
l establishing direct funding programs to support clean
energy R&D;
l capitalizing on public-private synergies to bring together
multi-sector expertise;
l pursuing a “going-out” policy of global engagement on
clean energy development; and
l incentivizing (via a favorable policy environment) the
involvement of the private sector in clean tech innovation.
