Diversified financing solves the pain points of enterprise development

They have abundant resources of investment institutions. However, we enterprises usually did not pay enough attention to it. They will recommend the company to some investment institutions and organize everyone to communicate, building a 'bridge' between the two sides, which is very helpful to us.”
In 2023, the pilot work of equity investment and venture capital share transfer will be promoted, and Ningbo will continue to take measures: organizing four summits to guide more professional institutions to join the Ningbo private equity secondary market, holding the first domestic "capital matchmaking event" to exchange and connect fund share transfers, promoting the establishment of private equity secondary market funds (i.e. S funds), and expanding the exit channels for private equity and venture capital.
