Boosting Strategic Emerging Industries is one of the key targets for China to achieve worldwide competitiveness, sustainable domestic development, green consumer spending.Thriving businesses will enhance employment and growth in the cities and regions where those industries will be nurtured.Building on the experiences gained in the implementation of a path-breaking book ("Innovative Economic Policies for Climate Change Mitigation") covering more than 20 policies to restructure markets, industries, and consumer behaviors at all geo-political levels, five policies-particularly suitable for China will be presented and discussed with examples and real cases.Policymakers in industry, academia, central and sub-national governments are provided a toolbox of instruments that, modified by their understanding of the opportunities and constraints, can be channeled in roadmaps, action plans and delivery of qualitative and quantitative targets.The policies match the features of the stages in industry and product lifecycles while engaging a varying range of stakeholders and target consumers.When working prototypes are available but they are too expensive, "Strategic Niche Management" is suggested to improve the product and reach economies of scale by user-producer interaction.When the product is affordable, effective and recognized by green certifications, "Free Advertising for Green Products" can boost sales, revenues, profits, investment, employment-in months, not years.So low-cost government intervention can nurture the market, educate the consumer, and avoid problems connected with high consumption (waste, air pollution, greenhouse gases emissions,...)."Pro-Diffusion-of-Innovation-Tax", "Green Innovation System" and "Sectoral Euthanasia" are three further policies presented.
