The "registration-based system" was first proposed in 2013 but has not been implemented over the past six years. In November 2013, the third plenary session of the 18th CPC Central Committee reviewed and issued the Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Some Major Issues Concerning Comprehensively Deepening the Reform, pointing out that it is necessary to "improve the multi-layer capital market system and promote reform toward a registration-based stock-issuing system”, which is also the first time that the Chinese government explicitly proposed to promote the reform toward a registration-based stock-issuing system. Since then, China has entered the period of exploring the registration-based system but does not make smooth progress. In the first instance of the draft amendment to the Securities Law in 2015, it was mentioned that the registration-based system implemented by the Issuance Appraisal Committee should be canceled; in the second draft of the Securities Law in 2017, the registration-based system was also not mentioned; In February 2018, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress decided to extend the authorization of registration-based system reform for two years. Due to such reasons as the mismatch between the delisting system of listed companies and the registration-based system and the incompleteness of investor protection mechanism, the registration-based system in China's capital market sees its implementation slowed down again and again.

科创板自2019年3月落地以来已成功运行近一年，截至2020年1月31日，科创板已上市企业数量共79家，累计融资额超过900亿元。2020年3月，新《证券法》正式实施，奠定了“注册制”全面推行的法律基础。科创板作为先行者，也将起到引领和借鉴作用。 对此，清科研究中心推出《2020年科创板上市情况统计分析报告》，从科创板总体上市情况统计（上市历时、成立时长、首发情况、行业对比）、科创板与A股其他板块对比（市值、市盈率、机构收益率）、科创板企业上市前财务数据表现（成长性、盈利能力、科创能力）、红筹和同股不同权企业审核关注问题解析（华润微电子和优刻得）四大方面，全面解析了截至2020年第一季度科创板上市情况。

2020年3月20日，证监会发布《科创属性评价指引（试行）》（以下简称“《指引》”），对申报企业是否具有科创属性提出了具体的评价指标体系。《指引》是在什么市场背景下发布？主要包含哪些内容？已上市企业是否满足指引要求？指引对于VC/PE机构来说有哪些影响？清科研究中心也提出一些自己的思考和解读。

科创板作为国内首次接纳红筹企业、表决权差异安排企业以及未盈利企业三类“特殊企业”上市的资本市场，受到各方投资者的广泛关注。

设立科创板并试点注册制自2018年11月首次提出以来，历时仅3个月管理办法、业务规则等政策快速落地。7月22日，首批25家科创板企业挂牌上市交易，股价走势良好。科创板是我国资本市场发展的重要里程碑。为推动资本市场改革，加大资本市场对科创企业的支持力度，科创板从发行流程、上市条件到承销交易等制度规则建立上均有了较大的突破和创新。本文即对科创板的政策制度进行全面解析，并与国内现有板块、港股和美股相关规则比较，结合企业受理和上市情况，以呈现一个最清晰明了的科创板。

截止3月28日，科创板已受理企业19家。依据清科私募通数据，19家企业背后VC/PE机构超过150家，其中涉及深创投、华泰紫金、中信资本、海通开元、国投集团、华控基金等知名机构，众多市场上活跃的机构暂时未现身影。
