With the deepening of globalization and capital markets, the listing activities of Chinese enterprises in the A-shares, Hong Kong stocks, and U.S. stocks have become increasingly frequent, and the number and market value of listed companies have continued to expand. At the same time, under the guidance of the strategy of complementary and coordinated development of regional economic advantages, the industrial structure, industrial innovation and industrial transformation of each region have their own characteristics, and listed companies have obvious regional characteristics. As the leader and vane of the economy, the regional distribution, industry distribution, performance and market performance of listed companies not only reflect the vitality and potential of economic development in various regions, but also reflect the industrial structure, resource allocation and policy orientation of each region.

The "Regional Atlas of Listed Companies" series of reports launched by Jiemian Think Tank aims to help policymakers, investors and researchers understand and evaluate the economic development level, advantageous industrial layout, and degree of industrial agglomeration and correlation of each region through the study of multi-dimensional data such as the number, market value, industry composition and financial indicators of listed companies in different time dimensions in different regions (including 31 provincial administrative regions and subordinate prefecture-level cities).
