Shanghai launched a new platform, Green Bond Express, to help Chinese companies issue green bonds overseas.
This platform leverages AI to streamline the process and ensure compliance with international standards, helping companies secure financing for eco-friendly projects.
The launch ceremony was held during the 2026 International Bond Conference and the Shanghai-Macao conference on cross-border ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) cooperation in the Shanghai Hongqiao International Central Business District on Feb 4.
The event also saw the launch of the Cross-Border Green Bond Development Service Center in Hongqiao. The center aims to strengthen financial and technological ties between Shanghai and Macao, leveraging Hongqiao's strategic location and policies to foster greater collaboration across fintech and talent exchange.
The conference featured speeches, platform launches, and discussions focused on advancing green transformation and supporting Chinese companies in their global ventures. The new initiatives are expected to make Hongqiao a key hub for companies in the Yangtze River Delta seeking to expand internationally.
