The Start-up Investment Wuxi platform, working to support small and medium-sized scientific and technological talent and enterprises, has attracted nearly 1.9 billion yuan ($268 million) in investment from 74 enterprises over the past four years.
The platform, aiming to provide public welfare and professional and sustainable corporate financial services for small and medium-sized enterprises, has opened more markets for enterprises via video due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
It hosted the first international online roadshow on March 27 for entrepreneurs in Germany and Israel to exchange ideas with Chinese investment institutions. A total of five projects focusing on surgical instruments and medical technology were displayed during live streams, attracting representatives from four life science parks in Wuxi.
According to officials, the platform has hosted 10 such online roadshows since Feb 20, in order to aid economic recovery and provide enterprises and talent with ongoing support during the epidemic.
Boke Bioscience Co, a home innovator of cutting-edge high-throughput nucleic acid synthesis technology, received much attention from financial institutions during the online roadshow. With the help of the Wuxi Talent Office, the company has received investment worth 20 million yuan after online communication.
The platform operators said they will continue to work with other capital market service bases in the Yangtze River Delta region to power the development of technological talent and enterprises.
