Hong Kong Small and Medium Listed Companies Association: AI and capital empowerment propel the advancement of Suzhou-Hong Kong cooperation to a new stage.

On the afternoon of November 4th, the "Suzhou Enterprises Going Global Hong Kong Integrated Service Station Promotion Meeting" was grandly held at the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong. Dr. Xi Chunying, Chairman of the Hong Kong Small and Medium Listed Companies Association, attended as a special guest and delivered a keynote speech. Dr. Xi Chunying advocated for the "AI-driven technology capital ecosystem," presenting forward-looking cooperation directions and implementation paths for Suzhou-Hong Kong cooperation. He pointed out that the integration of AI and capital is becoming a new engine driving global industrial upgrading. The combination of Hong Kong's international financial system and Suzhou's technological manufacturing capabilities creates a natural synergistic advantage. The Suzhou Enterprises Going Global Hong Kong Integrated Service Station is not only a service platform but also an institutional innovation that connects industry with capital, mainland China with the international market, and technology with finance. The construction of the "Suzhou Enterprises Going Global Hong Kong Integrated Service Station" is an important measure taken by Suzhou City to implement the national opening-up strategy and a new practice for Hong Kong to play its role as an international financial hub. Suzhou, as one of the most active cities in the country for its outward-oriented economy, has an annual import and export volume exceeding 2.6 trillion yuan, with 34,000 practical foreign trade enterprises. The number and quality of enterprises going global in Suzhou are among the best in the country. How to help small and medium-sized enterprises go global more safely and efficiently has become an important issue in the construction of local government service systems. Against this background, the Suzhou Municipal Committee and Government decided to establish the first overseas comprehensive service station in Hong Kong - the "Suzhou Enterprises Going Global Hong Kong Integrated Service Station." Through Hong Kong's international financial and legal systems, this station will create a two-way channel for capital and resources between the mainland industry and global market, providing policy, capital, and professional service support for Suzhou enterprises to internationalize. Dr. Xi Chunying pointed out that Hong Kong currently has more than 2,600 listed companies, with companies valued below 5 billion Hong Kong dollars accounting for 80%, and those below 1 billion accounting for 60%. This vast space for capital cooperation and merger integration provides an opportunity for Suzhou's science and technology enterprises. At the same time, Suzhou has a strong foundation of special industries, with 848 national-level specialized and innovative enterprises, ranking top in innovation vitality nationwide. Suzhou and Hong Kong share a high level of fit in terms of technological innovation, capital operation, and institutional recognition, providing realistic conditions for building an "AI-driven capital synergy ecosystem." "AI is changing the logic of corporate growth. In the future competition in the capital market, it is not about who has more resources, but about who can achieve precise allocation and value amplification through AI," emphasized Dr. Xi Chunying. Dr. Xi Chunying introduced that the Hong Kong Small and Medium Listed Companies Association is promoting the construction of an "AI Hong Kong Stock Exchange Platform," using big data and AI algorithms to analyze and select high-quality small and medium-sized listed companies, partnering with mainland science and technology enterprises, and providing systematic services such as valuation diagnosis, mergers, matchmaking, and intelligent risk control. This platform will complement the Suzhou service station and jointly promote the integration of "technology projects + listed companies" development model. Dr. Xi Chunying also proposed three cooperation initiatives: First, to jointly build an "AI + capital synergy service system" to help Suzhou and Hong Kong companies achieve precise connections through intelligent research, AI valuation, and risk control systems; second, to create a "listed company + science and technology project incubation mechanism" to promote Suzhou's innovation enterprises to achieve rapid capitalization through Hong Kong stock market mergers, restructuring, and reverse acquisitions; third, to promote policy and talent-driven innovation, by leveraging Hong Kong's international financial environment to introduce cross-border investment and financing, financial advisors, and technology management talent, building a professional service team for two-way flow. Dr. Xi Chunying concluded, "The cooperation between Suzhou and Hong Kong will not be limited to capital but will extend to institutional, technological, and cultural deep integration. We hope to use AI as a bond, capital as a bridge, and industry as a foothold, to jointly create a new model for the globalization of Chinese enterprises."
