On November 6, reporters learned from the Anhui Provincial Local Financial Administration that since the beginning of this year, our province has seized the opportunity of the normalization of IPOs on the Beijing Stock Exchange (BSE) to facilitate the listing of innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) on the BSE. A total of 3 new companies have been listed on the BSE in the province, ranking first nationally alongside Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Additionally, 3 enterprises have successfully passed the IPO review on the BSE, also tying for first place with Zhejiang and Jiangsu. Furthermore, 15 companies have been listed on the "new third board," placing us fifth in the country. Currently, there are 11 listed companies on the BSE in our province, rising from 10th to 8th nationally.

Since the beginning of the year, Anhui has continuously strengthened training for companies seeking to list on the BSE, actively inviting BSE representatives to Anhui to provide guidance. Experts from the BSE’s service base in Anhui regularly conduct one-on-one training sessions, organizing innovative SMEs to "visit the BSE" for "face-to-face" Q&A sessions. At the same time, efforts have been made to cultivate backup resources for BSE listings. Anhui has successfully launched a "green channel" pilot for companies transitioning from regional equity markets to the new third board, actively applying for a "public announcement system" pilot, and establishing a sound institutional connection mechanism between the new third and fourth boards to empower more innovative SMEs in the province to achieve listings on the new third board. In conjunction with the "Innovation 100" listing initiative, a resource database for companies preparing to list on the BSE has been established, currently housing 187 companies for development and support.

Additionally, Anhui has supported Guoyuan Securities in collaboration with Wuhu City to establish the province's first equity investment fund focused on the BSE, with a fund size of 500 million yuan. This fund will primarily invest in innovative SMEs in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain that play a significant role in strengthening the chain. By leveraging the comprehensive financial service capabilities of securities institutions—combining "industrial research + industrial investment + industrial investment banking"—the province aims to accelerate the listing of more innovative technology enterprises on the BSE.
