TREE NEWS update: The National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ) released its fourth preliminary list of companies moving up to the Innovation Tier, adding 12 firms including Meitong Fragrance, Gudeng Machinery and Bangdi Intelligent, spanning high-end manufacturing, new materials and the digital economy. That brings the cumulative number of companies slated for transfer into the tier this year to more than 220, about half of them national-level “little giant” specialized and sophisticated enterprises, with manufacturers making up over 80%.
NEEQ Innovation Tier Adds 12 More Firms, Over 220 Slated for 2025
The composition here is the real signal: a transfer pipeline dominated by manufacturers and specialized SMEs points to the Innovation Tier functioning less as a tech catch-all and more as a capital channel for industrial upgrading. The heavy "little giant" share suggests policy is steering qualified niche firms toward a deeper market rather than leaving them in the base tier. Whether that concentration persists through the remaining 2025 lists is the open question.
