Shanghai hosted an event on Nov 26 to promote synergy between technology firms and banks, establishing an efficient platform for cooperation between innovation entities and financial capital along the Shanghai-Nanjing Industrial Innovation Belt, which involves Shanghai's Putuo district and eight cities in East China's Jiangsu province.

Over 100 representatives from financial institutions and technological innovation enterprises gathered to explore new opportunities for tech-finance cooperation.

During the event, a research report on the capital demands of technology startups along the Shanghai-Nanjing Industrial Innovation Belt was released, providing a clear roadmap for financial institutions looking to optimize their services.

In response to the demand identified in the report, institutions like the Bank of Shanghai and the Bank of Jiangsu detailed their specially designed products for tech enterprises in the region to better align financial offerings with enterprise needs.

The event focused on building a sustainable collaborative ecosystem. Representatives from banks transitioned from mere product promoters to listeners and solution providers, while tech enterprises were no longer mere entities seeking funding as their capital needs were systematically addressed.

During the event, tech companies in the region took turns presenting roadshows on cutting-edge fields such as life sciences, new energy, and information technology. Through systematic demand research, customized financial products, and regular platform mechanisms, the event sought to propel regional collaboration from "hard connectivity" in infrastructure to "soft integration" of innovative elements.
