The Zhongshan Finance Bureau on the afternoon of July 17 organized a special session to provide training to companies who want to be listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board.

As of June 30 this year, Zhongshan has 34 domestic and foreign listed companies, 60 NEEQ-listed companies and 257 firms that are listed on regional equity trading centers.

According to the Zhongshan Finance Bureau, in the first half of 2019, Zhongshan's Mingyang Smart Energy and Rifeng Electric Cable were listed on the A-share market. The IPOs of these two companies totaled 1.764 billion yuan.

In addition, another two listed companies from Zhongshan have raised 1.2 billion yuan in corporate bonds. Zhongshan's direct financing amount has now reached 78.7 billion yuan.

In the first half, Zhongshan granted subsidies to companies listed on the share market, on NEEQ, and for refinancing on the capital market. These subsidies totaled nearly 20 million yuan. Since the implementation of this supporting policy, Zhongshan has issued nearly 370 million yuan of support funds to companies.

Zhongshan is now actively promoting a listing of companies on the Science and Technology Innovation Broad and has established a list of backup enterprises to be supported, with 20 companies included.
