Over the last year BOP Consulting and Nesta, with funding from the British Government’s China Prosperity Fund, have explored opportunities for building bridges and fostering new partnerships between the UK and Chinese equity crowdfunding markets.
As a result of this work, we have set-out a series of recommendations to promote cooperation through equity crowdfunding between China and the UK.
These recommendations are detailed in our briefing note on the Chinese equity crowdfunding market, which can be downloaded below.
A complete regulatory and market comparison study on the UK and Chinese equity crowdfunding industries is available here.
For a full breakdown and more background to the project, our partners Nesta have published a review of the work here.
