上海股权托管交易中心科技创新板下周一开板 - 2015年12月23日

Shanghai Equity Exchange, operator of the city's over-the-counter equity market, will open a new board for high-technology startups next Monday to support innovation-driven businesses.

Around 20 companies will start trading on the board, Ge Peijian, general manager of Zhangjiang High-tech Park, told a forum in Shanghai yesterday.

Zhangjiang is the third-largest shareholder of the equity exchange with 23.25 percent. The board is dedicated to high-tech startups, offering an alternative fundraising platform for companies which have difficulties in obtaining bank loans or raising funds via the main stock exchanges.
