At this summit, PreAngel was awarded the “Yangpu District Financial Service Special Contribution Award” by the government of Yangpu District in Shanghai.
On December 3, 2019, the annual “China Angel Investors Summit and the 6th Huangpu River Forum” was held at the Xiaonanguo Garden Hotel in Shanghai.
Themed “New Forces in Technology Empowering New Business,” the forum brought together nearly a hundred renowned investors, including Yang Shoubin, Mai Gang, Yang Xiangyang, Li Zhu, Zhang Min, Zhou Lixia, Lijie Wang, Liu Xiaoying, Qin Jun, Zheng Gang, Wu Shichun, Qiao Shunchang, Wang Haibo, Guo Wei, Shen Gongcan, Wang Xiaoye, Zhu Bo, Zhang Suyang, Gan Jianping, and Wang Huai. Government officials and institutional experts such as Ding Huanhuan, a standing committee member and deputy district head of Shanghai’s Yangpu District; Zhang Yunfeng, General Manager and Party Secretary of the Shanghai Equity Custody Trading Center; Yang Yonghua, Director of the Policy Research Office of the Shanghai Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau; and Hu Minjun, Deputy Director of Yangpu District Financial Office, attended the event. Additionally, hundreds of entrepreneurs from across the country, media representatives, and nearly a thousand audience members joined to evaluate trends and opportunities in venture investment and grasp the pulse of change and innovation.
The forum was guided by the People’s Government of Yangpu District in Shanghai, hosted by the Shanghai Angel Venture Consulting Service Center, co-hosted by the Financial Services Office of Yangpu District, and organized by Beijing Zhijian Maker, with support from the China (Shanghai) Entrepreneurs Public Training Base and the China Venture Golf Club. Guo Wei, founder of Zhijian, presided over the forum which featured keynote speeches, roundtable interactions, and an “Angel’s Night” cocktail reception.
The Huangpu River Forum is an annual gathering of China’s angel investors, held since the first forum in 2014, with six editions to date. These six years have seen the robust growth of China’s innovation and entrepreneurship, but after such a surge, it signifies that China’s startup ecosystem must advance. In this new historical phase, with immense changes in industrial transformation, technological innovation, institutional supply, and the international landscape, 2019 data indicate an unprecedented capital winter. As we ponder the next steps for innovation, entrepreneurship, and industrial upgrading, we convene in Yangpu, Shanghai — a high ground for China’s venture investment — to explore the future of angel investment and entrepreneurship on December 3rd.
