The Beijing Stock Exchange and the National Equities Exchange and Quotations, in collaboration with relevant authorities from Shandong Province and Qingdao City, will hold a dedicated training session. This initiative is designed to help more specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises leverage the capital market to expand and strengthen their operations.

The one-day training session is scheduled for the morning of Thursday, September 17, 2026, and will take place at the Qingdao Yihai Garden Hotel (May Fourth Square branch), located at 5 Hong Kong Middle Road, Shinan District. The session targets specialized and innovative SMEs that have expressed interest in listing, with participation expected from company leaders such as actual controllers, board chairs, general managers, financial officers, or board secretaries responsible for listing efforts. There is no limit on the number of participants per company.

Interested companies can register by scanning the provided QR code or completing the online form at https://neeqbse.wjx.cn/vm/mYsUvkP.aspx. Applicants should submit accurate information and valid contact details, as results will be communicated via text message before the training. Due to limited spots, approved participants are asked to attend punctually, and those unable to participate should cancel in advance by contacting staff. Registration will close at noon on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, or once the quota is reached.

Please be aware that the training is free of charge, and lunch will be provided on the day of the event; however, participants are expected to cover their own accommodation, transportation, and other expenses. During the session, the organizing team will not arrange any activities unrelated to the training, so attendees should take care of their personal property and food safety. Printed materials will not be distributed, and participants are requested to respect the intellectual property of the instructors by not sharing course content externally.
