Test run brings SSE sci-tech board closer

First batch of companies are likely to be listed in the middle of the year

The launch of the science and technology innovation board at the Shanghai Stock Exchange is getting closer, with sponsors taking part in a test run of the new board's audit system on Wednesday.

The dry run included the simulation of creating new applications, filling in project information, submitting related documents and dealing with notices and letters. The sponsors received digital certificates from Shanghai Stock Exchange last week, with which they can log onto the audit system, submit projects for the new board and check the proceedings.
