Moreover, they can also participate in technological innovation activities, pay attention to the potential development of technological innovation, provide relevant professional knowledge and consulting services, and focus on the transformation process of technological innovation results, thereby increasing the probability of successful technological innovation. Answer: (1) Introducing venture capital into the technological innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises will help concentrate a large amount of idle funds in society. (2) The effective use of huge household savings will help alleviate the financing difficulties encountered by small and medium-sized enterprises when carrying out technological innovation activities.
