In February 2022, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), and the Bank of China (BOC), established the SJTU-BOC Institute of Technology and Finance (SJTU-BOC ITF).

As an academic unit of the Antai College, the SJTU-BOC ITF is a global-oriented, platform-based and open-ended tech-finance institute that combines the cutting-edge and crossover disciplines of SJTU in science and technology with the rich financial resources of the Bank of China. The Institute's mission is to cultivate top-tier global tech-finance talents with professional ability in technology, management, and finance, promote industry-academic integration, and to facilitate self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology.

The SJTU-BOC ITF offers programs including Tech-Finance MBA, Executive Education, Master of Finance, and Master of Technology Transfer – the latter China’s first master’s degree in technology transfer. The ITF is becoming a platform integrating industry, academics, research, innovation and application resources, thus helping develop a mature and exemplary mode for the transformation in science and technology for the nation and even the world.
