About 30 companies already listed in mainland China plan to sell shares in Hong Kong, The Standard reported, citing Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing's (HKG:0388) Chief of Global Issuer Services Johnson Chui King-wai.

The city is seen to welcome listings from the new economy, artificial intelligence, new energy, and technology sectors, the report said.

Three companies have been listed under the bourse's Chapter 18C rules, which fast-track IPOs of tech companies without track records of profit, according to The Standard, citing Chui.
