On October 9, the 8th China SME Investment & Finance Expo was opened in Beijing with the theme of "financial institutions protect small and medium-sized enterprises against epidemic ". Beijing Fund Town signed a Strategic Cooperation Agreement with China Association of Small and Medium Enterprises on the spot, in order to jointly build an investment and financing connection platform, carry out thematic investment and education activities, and promote the healthy development of small and medium-sized enterprises.

In recent years, all sectors of society have reached a consensus on the role of fund in serving the real economy and supporting the development of small and medium-sized innovative enterprises. To support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, 17 departments such as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued a document in July this year, proposing to improve the direct financing support system for small and medium-sized enterprises and vigorously cultivate the venture capital market.

As the only state-level fund town, Beijing Fund Town has more than 1,200 fund institutions with a cumulative asset management scale of over RMB 1.7 trillion. It is the largest and most innovative fund industry gathering area in China. While continuously improving its service and risk control, Beijing Fund Town is actively giving full play to the advantages of fund industry agglomeration, focusing on building a financial service platform for the real economy, promoting the connection of investment and financing, and effectively serving the real economy.

The healthy growth of the fund industry benefits from the high-quality development of the real economy. However, only by continuously exploring the vitality of fund investment and promoting and expanding direct financing channels can the real economy be served. With the "1 + N" strategic cooperation mode, Beijing Fund Town has continuously expanded its cooperation with government, industry associations, exchanges, securities dealers, industrial parks, universities and other industry-university-research institutions, and regularly organized fund institutions, enterprises and projects to hold investment forums, project roadshows and other investment and financing activities. Under this year's epidemic, Beijing Fund Town responded positively to the call of the state. Jointly with Zhongguancun Life Science Park, Haidian Pioneer Park for Overseas Students in Beijing and Looking for Start-up Customer and other cooperative partners, Beijing Fund Town conducted more than 30 roadshows in 13 fields, including online education, medical and health care, enterprise services, artificial intelligence, bio-medicine, hard science and technology, new materials, financial science and technology, intelligent medical care, new consumption and new culture. Beijing Fund Town has released more than 200 projects in total. Through online and offline investment and financing services, it has formed a synergy to connect the start-up end and the investment end in a timely manner, helping enterprises and investment institutions to cooperate efficiently.

"Small and medium-sized enterprises are the main force in national economic and social development and an important foundation for promoting high-quality economic development. In the current environment, the key to protecting the main body of the market lies in protecting small and medium-sized enterprises. This time, Beijing Fund Town has reached a strategic cooperation with China Association of Small and Medium Enterprises, which has 230,000 members of small and medium-sized enterprises, to jointly build an investment and financing connection platform, unblock direct financing channels, and promote the implementation of good projects, which will effectively empower small and medium-sized enterprises and help the high-quality development of the real economy.", said a leader in charge of Beijing Fund Town.

With the aim of "building a platform and promoting transactions", many investment institutions will have face-to-face communication with participating enterprises through the recommendation of Asset Management Association of China and Beijing Fund Town at a number of industry and financing connection meetings held at the same time. Enterprises from artificial intelligence, intelligent manufacturing, Internet of Things, Internet + services, medical science and technology, new materials and other fields will conduct roadshow promotion, with a total financing of RMB several billion.

Meanwhile, at the site of Investment & Finance Expo, the investment and education base of Beijing Fund Town also organized and carried out investment and education publicity activities for small and medium-sized enterprises and investment institutions with the theme of "preventing financial risks and popularizing investment and financing knowledge".
