In the keynote speech session, Dr. Liu Jun, CEO of Bizfield Beijing and Founding Partner of Yongjie Investment, shared insights on Canadian public financing and entrepreneurial financing. Regarding public financing, Dr. Liu introduced the Toronto Stock Exchange, covering its basic information, listing requirements, areas of focus, and listing timelines. The Toronto Stock Exchange ranks as the 10th largest exchange globally by market capitalization, with a history of 160 years. It offers strong liquidity and is positioned as the best securities exchange for international companies entering the global securities market. Regarding entrepreneurial financing, Dr. Liu highlighted that it is suitable for projects with innovative features and outstanding teams aiming to expand into international markets. Such projects can be included in Canada’s Startup Visa (SUV) program, which enables investments from Canadian venture capital institutions and provides significant visa benefits for executives. Tangentia Ventures, a Canadian government-designated venture capital institution and a partner of Bizfield, recorded a special video for the event. Upasana Sharma, the head of Tangentia Ventures, welcomed Chinese technology enterprises to explore the Canadian market and congratulated the event's success.
Yan Minghua, Partner of Yunhe Capital and President of Yunhe Strategic Emerging Industry Investment Research Institute, shared key points on the organization and operations of startups. Using the organizational diagnostic tool "Six Boxes" (proposed by U.S. organizational design consultant Weisbord), Yan shared common pain points and difficulties startups face in six areas: goals & mission, structure & organization, processes & relationships, rewards & incentives, tools & support, and management & leadership. Combining her 30 years of organizational management experience, Yan offered corresponding improvement suggestions. She emphasized that with the rapid development of AI and other high-tech fields, enterprise operations have entered a global, borderless working environment. Traditional management methods no longer suit the development of the new business ecosystem. Founders and managers must transition from traditional, control-oriented approaches to harmonious, flexible management and leadership styles. This will foster trust, unleash employee potential, create a happy organizational atmosphere, and simultaneously promote business performance and employee growth for mutual success.
Professor Yan Bing introduced the HICOOL Global Entrepreneur Competition. Established in 2020, HICOOL is a one-stop entrepreneurial ecosystem platform organized by the Beijing Association of High-Level Overseas Talents. It leverages competitions, summits, and ecosystem development to enhance talent discovery, recruitment, services, and support, empowering entrepreneurship with technology and driving innovation with value. HICOOL includes six components: competition/summits, a business school, industrial parks, concierge services, funds, and a digital platform. Its multidimensional and international entrepreneurial service system helps entrepreneurs and startups establish and grow in Beijing.
This year, HICOOL introduced innovations to its evaluation process, allowing projects to participate in pitch sessions directly offline instead of online preliminary evaluations. The Beijing Overseas Chinese Federation organizes overseas projects annually, with many winning awards. Professor Yan shared his insights from years of involvement with HICOOL and encouraged companies to participate.
The pitch session followed.

The project has already been successfully implemented in top medical institutions, including Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Xuanwu Hospital, and the General Hospital of the PLA. Its exceptional performance has earned widespread recognition internationally, with predictions that over 50% of the device’s sales this year will come from international markets, demonstrating its strong competitiveness and promising development prospects.
The fourth project, AI Large Model-Driven Next-Generation Life and Health Service Platform, was presented by Shen Weiao, General Manager of Jinshanye (Beijing) Health Technology Co., Ltd. This project integrates advanced technologies, including high-end medical equipment, dialectical AI models, and large language models, to create an end-to-end life and health AI service platform. By utilizing AI Planner Intelligent Agents, it offers users a one-stop solution connecting hospitals to daily life. The platform manages personal health records and integrates hospital-family comprehensive health planning, aiming to revolutionize personal health experiences and foster sustainable, personalized health lifestyles. Strategic partnerships, such as one with the Xiyuan Hospital of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, have already been established. Additionally, the project’s innovative hemorrhoid electrolysis treatment device—almost painless and minimally invasive—has obtained the first medical device registration certificate in Beijing for hemorrhoid treatment. Both the AI-driven platform and the treatment device aim to enter international markets, showcasing their potential for extensive global application.
The fifth project, Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) Products, by Beijing Zhongnong Internet Information Technology Co., Ltd., was presented by Founder He Yang.

The project garnered high praise from investment institutions for its innovative solutions and global growth potential.
Finally, Nie Xiaohui summarized the work of the Beijing Smooth Financing Program. Since its inception in February 2019, the program has organized 372 matchmaking events, serving over 16,000 enterprises and connecting with more than 6,000 financial institutions, involving over 49,300 participants. The program has covered critical fields, including technological innovation, specialized and refined manufacturing, advanced manufacturing, the digital economy, cultural finance, urban renewal, medical health, and green finance. It has also supported industries heavily affected by the pandemic, such as culture, tourism, sports, and catering. Widely recognized by various sectors and highly praised by city leaders, the program has begun to establish a strong brand presence.
Next, Bizfield Beijing, Yongjie Investment, and Yezhuxing Network Technology will continue collaborating with professional institutions, such as the Beijing Overseas Chinese Federation Financial Professional Committee, the Zhongguancun Cultural and Creative Game Industry Development Alliance, and Yunhe Capital. These efforts will support Chinese tech enterprises in "going global," securing international capital, and exploring global markets, enabling rapid growth and becoming leaders in innovation.
