On June 22 local time in London, Jiaozi Fin-Tech Dreamworks, which is located 
at Chengdu Hi-tech Zone, signed a cooperation agreement with Cass Business 
School of the United Kingdom on co-promoting the exchange and cooperation of 
financial professionals between Chengdu and London. This is another substantial 
cooperation step between Chengdu and London in the field of finance after Cass 
Business School Chengdu Center was built in Chengdu Hi-tech Zone in March of 
this year.

Now, Chengdu is making great efforts to build itself as the financial center in 
Western China. In recent years, Chengdu Financial City, located at Chengdu 
Hi-tech Zone, has become the financial technology industry leader in Chengdu, 
while Jiaozi Fin-Tech Dreamworks is one of the most important financial 
technology shared work spaces. As to "Jiaozi", it was invented in Chengdu 
around 1,000 years ago and was the earliest paper currency in China and even 
the whole world.

At present, Jiaozi Fin-Tech Dreamworks has accumulated 102 domestic and 
international financial technology teams. In 2019, its operation area will 
amount to 100,000 square meters. It is predicted that there will be about 300 
enterprises and 10,000 research personnel in term of financial technology 
before the end of this year.

There is a long history of cooperation between Chengdu and London on financial 
industry. In early 2010, the Mayor of London Financial City visited Chengdu 
Financial City to discuss cooperation opportunity in the process of Chengdu 
building the Financial Center of Western China. Last March, Chengdu Jiaozi 
Financial Holding Group was invited to attend the London Global Fin-Tech 
Summit. Last June, its representative office was established in London; and on 
March 7 of this year, Cass Business School Chengdu Center was officially opened 
at Chengdu Hi-tech Zone. The center will provide personnel training for the 
development of Chengdu's fin-tech industry based on the well-experienced 
faculty and strong scientific research strength of Cass Business School. At the 
same time, Cass Business School will also encourage top talents and industrial 
incubation platforms affiliated to Jiaozi Fin-Tech Dreamworks to establish 
long-term research cooperation mechanism and join hands to promote the R & D 
and commercialization of financial technology.
