Shanghai Stock Exchange Hosts "Entering Hong Kong" Roadshow and Investor Engagement Event for Listed Companies

To better interpret the global attractiveness of Chinese assets and attract more long-term overseas investment into China's capital market, the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) and the China Association for Public Companies recently co-hosted the "Entering Hong Kong" roadshow and investor engagement event in Hong Kong. The event brought together senior executives from 40 Mainland-listed companies and nearly 200 representatives from overseas investment institutions. A total of 36 roadshow sessions were conducted, alongside thematic discussions on listed companies' ESG practices, corporate globalization, and more. Through diversified formats—including policy briefings, roundtable discussions, and roadshow matchmaking—the event helped strengthen communication between Mainland-listed companies and overseas investors, showcasing the high-quality development achievements of outstanding listed companies.

During the series of events, the SSE, under the theme "Expanding New Horizons · Advancing Sustainability", hosted a dedicated ESG session featuring in-depth discussions on sustainable development and the enhancement of international competitiveness. Chief economists from securities firms, partners from law firms, and accounting firms were invited to share insights and engage in discussions on key topics such as ESG disclosure standards and practical experiences for listed companies. In addition, the SSE, together with InvestHK, organized a roundtable titled "Hong Kong Empowering Mainland Enterprises to Go Global", where senior executives from listed companies exchanged views with members of Hong Kong's "Going Global Taskforce", who shared perspectives on opportunities, challenges, and strategies for overseas expansion.

In recent years, the SSE has conducted multiple "Engaging with the SSE-Listed Companies" thematic research and promotion events in Hong Kong, attracting numerous overseas fund managers, asset management institutions, and investment banks, with total participation reaching nearly one thousand attendees. This event marks the third such promotion and exchange activity held by the SSE in Hong Kong following similar events in 2023 and 2024. The SSE's continued efforts to advance roadshows in Hong Kong not only strengthen the direct connection between Mainland enterprises and global investors, serving as a two-way hub and channel that supports "Mainland enterprises going global and overseas capital coming in", but also further enhance the convenience and efficiency of cross-border engagement. These efforts represent concrete actions in actively responding to the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee and implementing the strategic initiatives set forth in the "15th Five-Year Plan" to "expand high-level opening-up and foster a new landscape of mutually beneficial cooperation".

Going forward, the SSE will continue to organize a series of exchange activities and expand its network of high-quality overseas services. It will further communicate the innovative measures and achievements of China's high-standard, institutional opening-up in the capital market, while encouraging listed companies to proactively showcase to overseas investors the long-term allocation value of Chinese assets. These efforts aim to present a safer, more regulated, transparent, open, dynamic, and resilient image of China's capital market.
