The purpose is to drive the integrated development of industry, city and people inLin-gang Special Area and better play its role as a “test field” for national reform and opening-up.
The Chinese name of the Institute is 上海财经大学滴水湖高级金融学院, abbreviated as 上财滴水湖高金; its English name is Dishui Lake Advanced Finance Institute, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, or SUFE-DAFI in short.
SUFE-DAFI is jointly established by theLin-gang Special Area Administration, SUFE, and Lingang Group, in collaboration with world-class universities. Affiliated to SUFE, the Institute is a secondary college running under a special administrative system.
Following a new talent training model combining “finance + industry + technology innovation”, SUFE-DAFI has set up new programs such as ESG finance, financial technology, cross-border finance, and offshore finance. In addition to providing market-oriented education, it strives to take on social responsibilities for producing exceptional talents with financial expertise for financial institutions, state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, government departments and other organizations.By doing so, we aspire to promote Lin-gang Special Area to grow into a special economic function zone with stronger international influence and competitiveness, support the all-round function upgrading of Shanghai as an international financial center, and contribute wisdom and strength to the national and even global financial development.
It only took less than half a year for SUFE-DAFI to take shape from conception to the start of construction. It signed agreements, enrolled students and began classes in the same year, representing the fastest speed of Lin-gang and SUFE. The first 41 master's degree candidates in finance will start chasing their dreams in Lin-gang in September 2023.
