On December 6, the 2025 Science and Technology Innovation Investment Conference was held in Hefei; on December 7, the 2025 Shanghai Stock Exchange (Chaohu) High-Quality Development Conference for Listed Companies took place in Hefei.

This not only reflects the high level of attention the capital market is paying to Anhui but also clearly demonstrates that the province's current development momentum and business environment are increasingly attracting enterprises and investors.

"Investing in Anhui means investing in trends and the future." This is Anhui Province's expectation and aspiration for the domestic investment community, and it is increasingly becoming a clear consensus among entrepreneurs, investors, and observers.

The vitality and openness of the capital market have become important indicators of a region's image and competitiveness.

After years of steady development, Anhui's external image and internal strengths have undergone a rapid transformation, significantly elevating its development capacity, strengthening its innovative momentum, solidifying its industrial foundation, and further highlighting its geographical advantages.

The data provide clear evidence. Since the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Anhui Province's economic output has successively surpassed two trillion-yuan thresholds, exceeding five trillion yuan. The revenue of industrial enterprises above designated size has increased from 3.8 trillion yuan to 5.5 trillion yuan, climbing from the 12th to the 6th position nationwide. All 16 cities in the province have risen in the national economic rankings, reflecting how the aspiration to "strive for advancement" is being translated into tangible results.

Currently, Anhui is in a critical period of consolidating its foundation, making comprehensive efforts, striving for excellence, and pursuing ambitious goals. With its existing conditions and capabilities, the province is well-positioned to achieve even greater and more significant development.

In recent years, Anhui Province has vigorously promoted the development of a multi-level capital market, enhanced the ability of capital to empower technological innovation and industrial development, and fostered a synergistic ecosystem where technology, industry, and finance mutually empower one another, forming a virtuous cycle. Among these efforts, the province has advanced the tiered cultivation of enterprises for public listing and regularly conducted capital market training sessions for tens of thousands of companies.

Latest data show that since the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Anhui Province has added 62 domestic listed companies, surpassing the total number added during the 12th and 13th Five-Year Plan periods combined. The total number of listed companies in the province has now reached 186, ranking 7th nationwide.

Looking ahead, during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, Anhui is poised to join hands with more "long-term partners" to accumulate greater momentum for upward growth.
