On December 19th, the "Entering the Yangtze River Delta" Integrated Financial Services Seminar, hosted by China Everbright Bank, was held in Shanghai. The conference released the "Yangtze River Delta Integrated Financial Services Solution," specially developed by Everbright Bank with its own unique characteristics. More than 50 experts, business representatives, and industry peers in the field of artificial intelligence were invited to exchange and discuss the development and application trends of artificial intelligence.
As a state-owned financial enterprise, China Everbright Bank is committed to actively integrating into and serving the national strategy for coordinated development of key regions. Not long ago, it held the "Entering the Greater Bay Area" event in Shenzhen. This "Entering the Yangtze River Delta" seminar is a continuation and deepening of the "Entering the Greater Bay Area" event.
Ma Bo, Dean of the Everbright Financial Research Institute, pointed out that the Yangtze River Delta, as a crucial national strategic region alongside the Greater Bay Area, is not only a core engine of my country's economic and social development but also a key platform for participating in global competition. Its integrated development is not only related to the region's own high-quality development but also holds significant strategic importance for the overall development of the nation. This event is not only a concrete action by Everbright Bank to thoroughly implement the national strategy of integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta and proactively meet the development needs of the region, but also an important opportunity for us to empower regional industrial upgrading, factor mobility, and market integration with financial power.
Tang Yongdong, President of the Shanghai Branch of China Everbright Bank, stated that the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta has been given the core mission of "one pole, three zones, and one highland," requiring the region to become a nationally strong and dynamic growth pole, a high-quality development model zone, a modernization leading zone, an integrated demonstration zone, and a new highland for reform and opening up. This seminar aims to build an efficient bridge connecting relevant science and technology innovation enterprises with capital markets and industrial resources, facilitating in-depth exchanges on topics such as regional development and bank-enterprise cooperation, strengthening industry-finance synergy, and injecting financial vitality into the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Delta region.
To better serve regional economic development and customer growth, China Everbright Bank closely follows the requirements of the "15th Five-Year Plan" and, based on the national development plan for the Yangtze River Delta region, and combined with the aggregation and circulation patterns of various production factors in the Yangtze River Delta, has specially created the "Yangtze River Delta Comprehensive Financial Service Solution" with Everbright characteristics.
The plan mainly includes three aspects: First, focusing on the high concentration of production factors in the Yangtze River Delta, it provides targeted support for the construction of a modern industrial system, offering customized products and full-cycle services to meet the development needs of different sectors such as future industries, emerging industries, traditional industries, county-level economies, and foreign-invested economies, while precisely addressing shortcomings in key areas such as energy and materials. Second, leveraging the Yangtze River Delta's advantages in the convenient flow of factors of production, it fully supports the construction of a global trade, logistics, and financial center, using transaction banking and trade finance as core tools to link infrastructure modernization and upgrades, thus building a solid financial foundation for the efficient flow of regional factors of production. Third, based on the Yangtze River Delta's "large market" characteristics, it deeply explores new changes in consumption patterns, tailoring exclusive service solutions for new consumption models such as the logistics economy, platform economy, and "IP economy" to activate new momentum in the consumer market. Fourth, aiming at the Yangtze River Delta's positioning as an international science and technology innovation center, it focuses on key areas such as integrated circuits, biomedicine, and artificial intelligence, providing precise and efficient financial support.
Representatives from participating companies analyzed and introduced the development trends in the field of artificial intelligence and the situation of their respective companies and industries. They unanimously agreed that it is essential to build a platform for exchanges between industry, academia, research, government, and finance. They also hoped that financial institutions could take a more proactive role in the research and organization of the industrial chain, connect more upstream and downstream companies, and drive them to cooperate in areas such as technology exchange, scenario cooperation, financial services, and ecosystem construction.
Representatives from China Everbright Bank, China Everbright Securities, China Everbright Holdings, and China Everbright Financial Leasing introduced China Everbright Bank's distinctive products and services, including "Sunshine Science and Technology Innovation," investment and financing for science and technology enterprises, and computing power leasing. They listened attentively to the opinions and suggestions of enterprise representatives and stated that the comprehensive financial service plan launched by Everbright is only a "draft." Further refinement will be made based on the existing framework, addressing both national and enterprise needs, to improve service alignment, implementation, and innovation. This aims to provide higher-quality and more efficient financial services to support the integrated development and high-quality construction of the Yangtze River Delta, contributing Everbright's capabilities to the effective implementation of national regional development strategies.
