BCIwiki (bciwiki.com) — On March 2, 2026, four Chinese ministries jointly issued the Opinions on Accelerating High-Quality Development of Science-Technology Insurance to Support High-Level Scientific and Technological Self-Reliance. The document was issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Financial Regulatory Administration, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the China National Intellectual Property Administration.
The document proposes moderately increasing product innovation inclusiveness and optimising science-technology insurance product filing management. In key science-technology and industrial development sectors, the document lists brain-computer interface alongside artificial intelligence, integrated circuits, quantum technology, biomanufacturing, hydrogen and fusion energy, and embodied intelligence, encouraging the development of dedicated science-technology insurance products and exploring the establishment of special risk reserves.
This policy positioning signals formal recognition of the BCI industry at the national level for financial risk support, potentially driving the development of specialised insurance solutions for BCI companies covering R&D risks, clinical trial risks, and product liability.
