On 30th May 2019, as part of the city sub-center branch of China International Fair for Trade, “Forum of Innovative Finance and High-End Business”, was held in Tongzhou. The forum is focused on 5 developing concepts “innovation, coordination, green, openness, sharing” and the strategic plan of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. It showed the planning and construction of Canal Business District, a variety of high-end projects, the pilot zone of service, the construction of future business district and developing concepts of future green finance, asset management and fintech, to the representatives of domestic and foreign enterprises and relevant persons participating in the China International Fair for Trade. Wang Guangyu, the chairman of China Soft Capital, was invited to attend the forum and delivered a keynote speech entitled "Embrace Fintech and Develop Green Finance".
On the existing problems in the development of green finance, Wang Guangyu said: “first, we don’t have a complete green certification system to distinguish green finance from non-green finance. Second, for finance institutions, we are insufficient in distinguishing projects and precising the level of “green”. The lack of cognition causes lack of investment motivation. Third, the products are not innovative enough. Under the current strict supervision period of financial risk prevention and risk mitigation, companies pay less attention to product innovation, especially in the new field of green finance, if we do not have innovative actions and products, it will be difficult to respond to market demand. Fourth, the overall market system, especially the international system, also need to be improved. There are differences between domestic and international definition of “green”. Foreign capital has limited understanding of China’s green bond market. Domestic market access, capital account opening, and risk hedging mechanism need to be improved.”
On the green investment, Wang Guangyu said that China Soft Capital thrived actively on green influence investment. “If Chinese green real economy companies want to develop from zero to one, the most lacking part is green investment, because not so many investment institutions or entities make relevant directions. According to a recent report published by People’s Bank of China, the lack of green investment in the following five years will be up to 4 trillion to 6 trillion RMB. We should focus on how to fill the gap in green investment under the limited economic increase, and China Soft Capital keeps working on it. Besides new generation of IT, environment protection and green technology are also our concerns. Our successful cases include Flower King Eco-Engineering Inc. (603007.SH), Focused Photonics Hangzhou Inc (300203.SZ), Shenzhen Megmeet Electrical Co.,Ltd.(002851.SZ), etc.”
China Soft Capital as an investment institution based on fintech, develops deeply the technological innovation. The intelligent industry-finance platform Easy Chain developed by China Soft Technology (002453.SZ) held by China Soft Capital, connects seamlessly industry and finance, integrates into the application scenarios and boosts the innovation of green finance. The “L’ontologie” system developed by L’ontologie, subsidiary of China Soft Capital, processed a systematical evaluation of the green finance, from its nature to its level. In the future, China Soft Capital will strive to promote the application of fintech in the investment and financing of green industry.
