Shanghai, October 23, 2026 — DolphinDB marked two milestones at the 2026 Advancing AI-Ready Financial Infrastructure Innovation Summit in Qiantan, Shanghai: the unveiling of its newly established Shanghai subsidiary and the release of a joint initiative to advance China's financial IT innovation ecosystem.
The two initiatives reflect DolphinDB's continued expansion in Shanghai and its commitment to fostering collaboration among technology companies, financial institutions, and universities to advance financial infrastructure innovation.
Shanghai Subsidiary Opens in Qiantan's Financial Technology Cluster
At the event, DolphinDB held an unveiling ceremony for Shanghai Zhiyu Technology Co., Ltd., its wholly owned subsidiary established by Zhejiang Zhiyu Technology Co., Ltd. The new entity has completed its business registration and is now based in the Qiantan Financial Technology Cluster.
The establishment of the Shanghai subsidiary marks another step in DolphinDB's expansion in the Shanghai market and its engagement with the city's financial technology sector.
Leveraging Qiantan's financial technology ecosystem, the Shanghai team will strengthen collaboration with financial institutions, industry partners, and research institutions. These partnerships will support the development and deployment of domestically developed time-series database technology in finance and other key industries, providing high-performance data infrastructure for their digital transformation.
Joint Initiative Promotes Collaboration Across China's Financial IT Ecosystem
The event also saw the release of a joint initiative to strengthen China's financial IT innovation ecosystem, which focuses on developing and adopting domestic, secure, and controllable information technologies.
Representatives from technology companies including Hygon Information Technology, KylinSoft, Softcom Computer, Shanghai Info2Soft, Cardinal Operations, and WhaleOps, as well as universities including Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Renmin University of China, the University of Science and Technology of China, and Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, joined the initiative. It calls for closer collaboration on financial infrastructure innovation and ecosystem development.
Building a resilient domestic technology ecosystem requires coordination across the technology supply chain. DolphinDB has been working with domestic hardware and software providers, including Hygon Information Technology, KylinSoft, and Softcom Computer, on compatibility testing, certification, and technical collaboration. These efforts help ensure interoperability between DolphinDB and domestic computing platforms and operating systems, supporting the deployment of high-performance, secure, and controllable data infrastructure in finance and other critical industries.
Universities are equally important to the development of the financial technology ecosystem. DolphinDB has been expanding its engagement with academic institutions, including Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Renmin University of China, the University of Science and Technology of China, and Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. Through joint course development, technical lectures, and practical training programs, the company aims to connect technological innovation with academic education and help develop the next generation of industry talent.
The joint initiative provides a platform for deeper cooperation among technology providers and academic institutions, creating opportunities for technical collaboration, talent development, and closer industry–university engagement.
Building the Future of Financial Technology Together
The establishment of the Shanghai subsidiary strengthens DolphinDB's local presence, while the joint initiative brings together industry and academic partners to support the development of China's financial technology ecosystem.
Looking ahead, DolphinDB will continue to build on its expertise in high-performance data infrastructure, deepen its regional presence, and work with industry and academic partners to advance financial technology innovation and the adoption of domestic technology in the financial sector.
