The ongoing 2025 Shanghai International Carbon Neutrality Expo in Technologies, Products, and Achievements is geared towards providing Chinese enterprises with practical solutions to overcome challenges in the global expansion of their green products. The three-day expo at the Shanghai New International Expo Center showcases a variety of forums and trade matchmaking sessions, while presenting a diverse array of cutting-edge green and low-carbon technologies.
A key highlight at the expo is Shanghai Technology Exchange's latest product, which provides quick valuations for enterprises' green technologies using big data. Qualifying technologies are highlighted in green, and their real-time valuations are displayed. "This product enables quick valuations for green technologies and fosters connections with financial and trading scenarios, thereby facilitating synergy between the green financial system and the industrial system," said Jiang Chen, assistant to the president of Shanghai Technology Exchange. Shanghai Technology Exchange has previously facilitated over 10 billion yuan (around 1.4 billion U.S. dollars) in intellectual property pledge financing, with a significant portion involving green technologies. This latest product establishes a dedicated green-tech financing platform. Spanning an area of 40,000 square meters, the expo has attracted the participation of over 300 well-known enterprises from 15 countries and regions, including Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Spain, and Britain.
