"Capital Market Services for a Strong Economic Province in Yan Zhao" event successfully held in Tangshan and Hebei Venture Capital Day

To strengthen capital empowerment and help Tangshan’s manufacturing industry transition to higher-quality development and upgrading, on March 27, the special topic financing and investment matchmaking event titled “Capital Markets Serving Economic Powerhouse Hebei—Yan Zhao Tour” entered Tangshan, successfully held as part of the Hebei Venture Capital Day. Hosted and guided by the Hebei CSRC Office and the Tangshan municipal government, this was the fifth session of the “Capital Markets Serving Economic Powerhouse Hebei—Yan Zhao Tour” into Tangshan. Through training and lectures combined with investment and financing matchmaking, this event brings forward-looking policies, professional financing guidance, and an efficient docking platform to the front line of enterprises, injecting capital momentum into Tangshan’s efforts to cultivate and grow new productive forces.

Relevant officials from the Hebei CSRC Office pointed out that Tangshan, as a major economic hub in Hebei and the cradle of China’s modern industry, is currently at a critical stage of transforming into a strong manufacturing city and shifting from resource dependence to innovation-driven growth. Demand for capital support, technological innovation, and market know-how is even more urgent. Private funds are the core link connecting capital and industry; they act as incubators for business growth, boosters for industrial upgrading, and catalysts for new productive forces. They hope investment institutions will go deep into Tangshan, focus on hard-core technology, and play the role of long-term patient capital. They also encourage Tangshan enterprises to proactively embrace the capital markets and leverage capital to achieve breakthroughs in innovation.

During the training session, experts from Shenzhen Innovation Investment Group delivered an in-depth sharing on how private funds can help real-economy enterprises become stronger and better. Combined with typical case analyses, they interpreted capital operation models, financing path planning, and industry empowerment experience, providing Tangshan enterprises with financing ideas that are practical and actionable. Relevant officials from the Tangshan Municipal Bureau of Commerce gave a comprehensive introduction to the city’s investment environment and benefits-for-enterprises policies, clearly highlighting Tangshan’s industrial strengths, development potential, and investment opportunities, and strengthening investors’ confidence in locating and investing in Tangshan.

In the investment and financing matchmaking segment, multiple high-quality enterprises in Tangshan with equity financing intentions held face-to-face discussions and precise matchmaking with private investment institutions from Beijing, Shenzhen, and Hebei. Enterprises presented their technical strengths, project prospects, and financing needs on-site, while investment institutions provided tailored investment recommendations and cooperation plans, effectively opening up the “last mile” between capital and industry.

This event is a vivid practice of the Hebei CSRC Office balancing regulation with service and supporting local economic development. Closely aligned with the deployment of the “15th Five-Year Plan” and beyond initiatives, it precisely matches Tangshan’s industrial development needs, promoting deep integration between national strategies and local opportunities, bidirectional convergence between patient capital and hard-core technology, and unified efforts in regulatory services and ecosystem co-building. On the one hand, it builds a low-cost, high-efficiency financing docking bridge for enterprises, helping them broaden financing channels and enhance their ability to use capital. On the other hand, it provides a window for high-quality private fund institutions to find high-quality projects in Tangshan, guiding more capital to flow into advanced manufacturing and strategic emerging industries, thereby supporting Tangshan’s industrial upgrading.

The Hebei CSRC Office will continue to leverage its regulatory and service functions. By combining local cities’ industrial characteristics and financing needs, it will strengthen policy support, project docking, and factor security, continuously amplify the effects of capital empowerment, and contribute greater efforts to industrial upgrading across the province and the cultivation of new productive forces.
