EVENT COMPLETED!
China Money Network in conjunction with Baker Tilly Hong Kong and our supporting partner InvestHK presents, Taking The World Public – IPO Event Series: Shanghai 2018. On 24th April, 2018, we will bring together corporate leaders, regulators and top dealmakers to discuss challenges and opportunities in the rapidly evolving Chinese IPO Market.
The Hong Kong Stock Exchange has proposed the biggest overhaul of its IPO listing rules in over twenty years, including allowing dual class-listing and favorable listing terms for biotech companies. These changes are expected to make the HKEX the most attractive overseas listing option for mainland Chinese firms, and potentially help Hong Kong reclaim its leading position on the global IPO league table.
At the same time, after a record 437 IPOs in mainland China, raising a total of RMB45 billion last year, the outlook for domestic IPOs by Chinese companies is increasingly uncertain as the regulatory approval process becomes more strenuous. That should spark greater interests by Chinese companies, especially those in biotech sector, to seek a public share float in the neighboring Special Administrative Region, Hong Kong.
Taking The World Public – IPO Event Series: Shanghai 2018, to be hosted on 24th April 2018 by China Money Network in conjunction with Baker Tilly Hong Kong and our supporting partner InvestHK, will examine these issues and more, providing an exclusive venue for both business leaders and investors to take the pulse of the IPO market in Greater China.
Secure your seat today for the most anticipated IPO discussion of the year!
