The Logic and Practical Path of Financial Support for High-Quality Development of Sports Industry Empowered by New Quality Productive Forces: Based on the Experience of Guangzhou

Abstract

In the new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country, high-quality development has become the primary task, and new quality productive forces are the core engine promoting industrial structure optimization and economic level upgrading. As a new growth point of the national economy and the head of the "five happiness industries," the sports industry is facing a historical transformation from traditional factor-driven to innovation-driven development. This transformation process urgently needs to break away from traditional path dependence and turn to a new quality productive force development model led by technological innovation, driven by digital transformation, and based on green development. As the blood of the modern economy and the core mechanism of resource allocation, finance plays an irreplaceable and decisive role in cultivating new quality productive forces in the sports industry. Based on the productivity theory of Marxist political economy and combining modern financial function theory, this paper constructs a three-dimensional coupling logic framework of "Technology-Capital-Industry" to deeply analyze the internal mechanism of financial support for sports industry upgrading. Selecting Guangzhou as the object of empirical investigation, and combining regional industrial planning and typical business characteristics, this paper systematically sorts out the realistic foundation of Guangzhou's sports industry. It reveals the structural mismatch, institutional obstruction, and ecological deficiency existing in the current financial supply when matching the characteristics of "high technology, light assets, long cycle, and high risk" of new quality productive forces in sports. Based on this, this paper proposes practical paths such as building a full life cycle financial support chain, deepening the "Sports + Finance + Technology" integration ecology, improving the multi-level capital market system, and strengthening policy financial guidance. The aim is to provide solid theoretical support and decision-making reference for Guangzhou to build a world-famous sports city and achieve the modernization of the sports industry.
