In recent years, the two sides have deepened cooperation in the training of companies planning to get listed, investment and financing matchmaking for startups and venture enterprises, development of maritime industry index in the securities market, and so on. They have jointly held the “Roadshows for Investment in and Financing for Maritime SMEs” for five consecutive years, which have directly served over 150 maritime innovation enterprises, supported maritime enterprises in growing better and stronger and contributed to the national strategy of being a maritime power.
