On 11 December 2025, the Pudong VC New Zealand Investment Promotion Briefing was held at the International Outlook Science and Technology Park, under the theme 'Invest in Pudong, Venture into the Future', aiming to deepen innovation and industrial investment cooperation between Shanghai Pudong and New Zealand. Teng Jun, Deputy General Manager of Pudong VC, introduced that Pudong Venture Capital Group is a state-owned venture capital platform with a registered capital of 10 billion yuan and total assets exceeding 20 billion yuan, focusing on integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, biomedicine, and high-end manufacturing, establishing a full-lifecycle investment system. Dr Chen Qianjun, Secretary-General of the International Outlook Federation, announced the official launch of the China-New Zealand Business and Innovation Corridor, starting from the International Outlook Science and Technology Park, adopting a 'two countries, multiple parks, interconnected' model, providing a 'park + incubation + investment' service platform.

The first batch of joining parks include Beijing CBD Guomao, Guangzhou TusStar Digital Building, and Shenzhen TusStar. The Q&A session covered topics such as two-way cross-border expansion for enterprises, cross-border investment policies, and technology transfer. The Pudong VC delegation also visited United Pharmaceuticals, Deloitte, and other institutions.

Specific investment cooperation plans and park joining details are pending further announcement.

For New Zealand SME owners, the Pudong VC briefing sent an important signal: the two-way channel between China and New Zealand is being accelerated. On one hand, the China-New Zealand Business and Innovation Corridor provides a practical path to enter the Chinese market, especially the joining parks in Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, which can help New Zealand enterprises set up offices in China at lower costs and connect with the Yangtze River Delta capital and industrial chain. However, note that Pudong VC prefers early-stage, small-scale, and deep-tech investments.

If your business is in life sciences, agritech, or clean energy, you can proactively connect with the International Outlook Federation to be considered for their incubation or investment pipeline. On the other hand, the increasing demand for Chinese enterprises expanding to New Zealand may bring business opportunities for local service providers (e.g., accounting, legal, park operations). It is recommended to closely monitor the entry criteria and investment terms to be released by the International Outlook Science and Technology Park, and prepare technology assessment reports in advance.

Conclusion: Leveraging the 'two countries, multiple parks' mechanism, SMEs can prioritise the first batch of joining parks as a springboard, but must assess whether their technology maturity matches Pudong VC's deep-tech requirements.

2025年12月11日，浦东创投新西兰专场招商引资推介会在国际展望科技园举行，主题为“投资浦东、创投未来”，旨在深化上海浦东与新西兰的科技创新与产业投资合作。浦东创投副总经理滕军介绍，浦东创投集团是国有创投平台，注册资本100亿元，资产总额超200亿元，聚焦集成电路、人工智能、生物医药、高端制造等领域，构建全生命周期投资体系。国际展望联合会秘书长陈谦均博士宣布，中新商务科创走廊正式启动，以国际展望科技园为起点，采取“两国多园、互联互通”模式，提供“园区+孵化+投资”服务平台，首批加盟园区包括北京国贸CBD、广州启迪数字大厦、深圳启迪大厦。

问答环节围绕企业双向出海、跨境投资政策、技术成果转化等议题展开。浦东创投代表团还实地考察了联合制药、德勤等机构。具体投资合作方案及园区加盟细则待后续公布。

对于新西兰中小企业主而言，浦东创投的推介会释放了重要信号：中新双向出海通道正加速构建。一方面，中新商务科创走廊提供了进入中国市场的务实路径，尤其是北京、广州、深圳的加盟园区，可帮助新西兰企业以较低成本设立中国办事处，对接长三角资本与产业链。但需注意，浦东创投偏好“投早、投小、投硬科技”，若您的企业属于生命科学、农业科技或清洁能源领域，可主动对接国际展望联合会，争取纳入其孵化或投资标的池。

另一方面，中国企业出海新西兰的需求增加，可能为本地服务商（如会计、法律、园区运营）带来业务机会。建议密切关注国际展望科技园后续发布的入驻标准和投融资条款，提前准备技术评估报告。结语：依托“两国多园”机制，中小企业可优先选择首批加盟园区作为跳板，但需评估自身技术成熟度与浦东创投的硬科技要求是否匹配。
