Tianjin Pilot Free Trade Zone has made innovations in many fields, such as cross-border investment, financing, asset securitization, crowd-funding, REITs funds, share-holding platforms, Sun private funds, sector funds, and merger acquisition funds, with many successful cases. Taking cross-border investment as an example, with the TJFTZ overseas investment filing pilot system, Hainan Airlines has successfully invested in UBER (UOB).

Through strengthening cooperation between financial institutions and professional institutions in areas like law, accounting, consulting, credit ratings, and assets evaluation, an interactive platform has been set up for enterprises with international capital docking, and business channels have been opened up for the issuance of overseas bonds, overseas mergers and acquisitions, and cross-border financing.

Binhai CBD Area, in giving priority to financial innovation, has gathered nearly 1,000 financial institutions, covering almost all financial services, such as banking, insurance, securities, leasing, funds, factoring, trading markets, asset management and so on. Tianjin has become the most dynamic and attractive financial city in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region.
