Four companies were listed on the Hong Kong exchange, one on Nasdaq and one on New York Stock Exchange in June.

Eight machine manufacturers were listed in global markets last month – ranking the first among all industries – followed by six biotechnology and healthcare companies and five information technology companies.

Of the 38 companies, 18 were backed by venture capital or private equity investors and raised US$2.77 billion. Fifteen VC/PE-backed companies were listed on the mainland to raise US$2.56 billion and three were listed overseas.
