More than 140 Chinese companies have been listed at Nasdaq, an increase of nearly 3 times from three years ago, said Robert McCooey, Nasdaq senior vice president, in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Tuesday.

Leading a group of Nasdaq Corporate delegation members, McCooey started a three-day visit to Inner Mongolia Tuesday. The group paid a visit Tuesday to a science and technology service station of Yongye Group, the only Nasdaq-listed company in Inner Mongolia.

On their agenda, the members would hold discussions with representatives of local pre-IPOs and give lectures in Inner Mongolia University.
