Sales of our Ordinary
Shares, if any, under this prospectus may be made in sales deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule

also sell shares of our Ordinary Shares in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices

and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “we”, “us”, “Powerbridge” or
the “Company”.
Overview
We are a provider of
software application and technology solutions and services to corporate and government customers primarily located in China. We
introduced global trade software applications when we launched our operations in 1997 with a vision to make global trade operations
easier for our customers. Since our inception, we have continued to innovate by developing technologies that enable us to successfully
deliver a series of solutions and services that address the evolving and changing needs of our corporate and government customers.
Our mission is to make global trade easier by empowering all players in the ecosystem.
With the rapid growth
of advertisement and media industrial in recent years, we believe that there is a substantial market opportunity to operate an
out-of-home digital display advertising and media technology platform in the Greater Bay Area of China. We also see the potential
to further expand our business into such industry, which could be supported by the success of our own Big Data platforms/products.
As a result, we started to implement our plan to build a network of digital display and operate an advertisement platform since
October 2020 by using our Big Data platform and services.
Our customers
are corporate and government organizations engaged in global trade. Our corporate customers are import and export companies, manufacturers
engaged in international trade, as well as logistics and other service providers. Our government customers include customs and
other government agencies that oversee the flow of goods and services across borders, as well as government authorities and organizations
that manage and operate free trade and bonded trade zones, ports and terminals, and other international trade facilities.
Global trade involves
complicated and cumbersome processing, manual handling of voluminous documents, extended and complex cross-organization workflows
as well as a great number of business and government players in the global trade ecosystem. Our customers are facing increasing
challenges as the world’s trade ecosystems continue to grow in size and complexity. Costs associated with global trade, such
as logistics performance, border control and international connectivity remain high. Potential savings from more collaborative
and efficient trade processes could reduce the costs of global trade significantly. The need for greater efficiency and cost savings
are driving the transformative shift for participants in global trade to become more connected and collaborative.
Our comprehensive and
robust solutions and services include Powerbridge System Solutions and Powerbridge SaaS Services with
more than 50 solutions and services deployable on premise and in the cloud. Leveraging our deep domain knowledge and strong industry
experience, we provide a series of differentiated and robust solutions and services that address the mission critical needs of
our corporate and government customers, enabling them to handle and simplify the complexities of global trade operations, logistics
and compliance.
We provide Powerbridge
System Solutions to our corporate and government customers engaged in global trade, including businesses and manufacturers
across a broad range of industries, government agencies and regulatory authorities, as well as global trade logistics and other
service providers. Powerbridge System Solutions enable our customers to streamline their trade operations, trade logistics
and regulatory compliance, consisting of Trade Enterprise Solutions and Trade Compliance Solutions which have been
in service since our first introduction twenty years ago and Import & Export Loan and Insurance Processing which have
recently been introduced to a selected group of customers.
We began offering our
Powerbridge SaaS Services (software-as-a-service) in 2016 and are continually developing and expanding our SaaS services
that provide our corporate and government customers with significant benefits, including better use of resources, a lower cost
of operations, easier document handling, faster processing time as well as higher logistics and compliance connectivity and efficiency.
Powerbridge SaaS Services include Logistics Service Cloud and Trade Zone Operations Cloud which are in service,
and Inward Processed Manufacturing Cloud, Cross-Border eCommerce Cloud and Import & Export Loan and Insurance Processing
Service Cloud which are in development.
We have begun offering
our cloud-based Powerbridge BaaS Services (blockchain-as-a-service) with designated use case for limited government
customers since June 2019 and we have not generated any revenue from it. We continue developing our BaaS Services for
market commercialization. Blockchain technology is emerging as a major disruptive force across many industries including those
involved in global trade. We believe that blockchain technology could allow our customers to conduct business in more synchronized
and collaborative ways to substantially increase operational efficiency and reduce trade costs across the global trade supply chain. Powerbridge
BaaS Service includes Compliance Blockchain Services and Supply Chain Blockchain Services.
Our solutions and services
are built from our multiple proprietary technology platforms which are developed based on industry leading open source infrastructure
technologies. Our technology platforms include Powerbridge System Platform and Powerbridge SaaS Platform,
which are designed for high-performance reliability, flexibility and scalability, allowing us to expand our solutions and services
rapidly and efficiently to consistently address the needs of our corporate and government customers. Our Powerbridge BaaS
Platform is in development and our BaaS services will be built on top of our Powerbridge Blockchain Platform that
is designed to provide high scalability and performance characteristics, consisting of multiple technology engines that support
the various business component models specific for trade transaction, trade logistics and regulatory compliance in global trade.
We intend to continue
leveraging our industry expertise and product knowledge with the best use of emerging and disruptive technologies such as big data,
artificial intelligence and Internet of Things to enhance our core technology capabilities and continually increase the scope of
our solutions and services to our customers.
Expansion Into Out-Of-Home Advertising
and Media
Since October 2020,
we started to implement our plan to build a network of digital display such as LCD screens and operate an advertisement platform
in Shenzhen initially, and then expand to the Greater Bay Area of China. We believe that there is a substantial market opportunity
to operate an out-of-home digital display advertising and media technology platform in the Greater Bay Area of China. We will focus
on display advertising in various high traffic advertising locations such as residential and office buildings, commercial parking
garages, and elevators in residential and office buildings.
We closed on a $50
million Note financing on October 27, 2020, which is in addition to the $17.5 million raised on August 24, 2020 in a private placement
of ordinary shares, par value $0.00166667. The funds raised are being used as prepayment for acquiring the right to operate and
publish advertisements at certain advertising space, as an efficient way of accelerating the Company’s entrance into the
out-of-home digital display advertising and media business.
On September 25, 2020,
Shenzhen Honghao Internet Technology Co. Ltd. (“Honghao”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a
leasing agreement (the “Original Leasing Agreement”) with Shenzhen Kezhi Technology Co., Ltd., a company incorporated
under the PRC laws (“Kezhi”), pursuant to which, Kezhi agreed to transfer the right to operate and publish advertisements
at certain advertising space it leases or controls in certain shopping centers in Shenzhen, Guangdong, to Honghao. No less than
75% of the advertising space as provided in the Original Leasing Agreement shall be delivered within 6 months and the remainder
shall be delivered within 12 months following the date of the Original Leasing Agreement. The Original Leasing Agreement became
effective on October 1, 2020 and shall expire on September 30, 2032.
Honghao agreed to pay
an aggregate rent of RMB150 million (approximately $22 million) within 3 months of the date of the Original Leasing Agreement.
Additionally, Honghao agreed to pay RMB10 million (approximately $1.67 million) as security deposit within 3 business days after
the date of the Original Leasing Agreement. Kezhi agreed to pledge certain Hainan Huanghua pear furniture it owns and currently
valued for RMB150 million (the “Collateral”) as guarantee for the rent payment made by Honghao pursuant to a separate
guarantee agreement to be agreed upon by and between Honghao and Kezhi. The parties agreed the Collateral shall be pledged for
the entire term of the lease and in the event the value of the Collateral is determined less than RMB150 million anytime during
the term of the guaranty, Kezhi shall provide additional collateral within three months of such determination to make sure that
aggregate value of the Collateral maintains at RMB150 million.
On November 20, 2020,
Honghao and Kezhi entered into a supplemental agreement to the Leasing Agreement (the “Supplemental Agreement”, together
with the Original Leasing Agreement, the “Leasing Agreement”), pursuant to which, Kezhi agreed to transfer the right
to operate and publish advertisements at certain additional advertising space it leased or controls in several urban villages in
Shenzhen, Guangdong, to Honghao.
Given that there was
no transfer of the right to operate and publish advertisements between October 1, 2020, the effective date of the Original Leasing
Agreement, and the date of the Supplemental Agreement, both parties agreed to change the effective date of the Original Leasing
Agreement from October 1, 2020 to January 1, 2021, which shall expire on December 31, 2040.
Honghao and Kezhi also
agreed to increase the rent from RMB150 million (approximately $22 million) to RMB 470 million (approximately $71 million) as consideration
for all the advertising space, the payment of which shall be made within 3 months of the date of the Supplemental Agreement. Accordingly,
Kezhi agreed to increase the value of the original collateral as provided in the Original Leasing Agreement from RMB150 million
to RMB 470 million. Additionally, both parties agreed to change the original payment schedule of the security deposit in an amount
of RMB10 million (approximately $1.67 million) as set forth in the Original Leasing Agreement from 3 business days after the date
of the Original Leasing Agreement to 3 business days after the date of the Supplemental Agreement.
Additionally, the Supplemental
Agreement provided the advertising space delivery schedule with at least 50% of the total advertising space to be delivered by
December 31, 2021 and the remainder to be delivered by December 31, 2022 (the “Delivery Schedule”). In the event Kezhi
fails to deliver the advertising space according to the Delivery Schedule, Honghao shall have the right to terminate the Leasing
Agreement and have the rent returned in full as well as demand damages due to Kezhi’s default. Furthermore, both parties
agreed that Honghao shall not be liable for any disputes, conflicts or lawsuits arising between Kezhi and any third party concerning
the advertising space provided thereof (the “Third Party Disputes”). In the event Kezhi is unable to continue to perform
all or part of its obligations under the Leasing Agreement due to third party disputes, Kezhi shall manage to locate similar replacement
of advertising space for Honghao within one month. The parties also agreed on the parties’ obligations to seek regulatory
approval to publish the advertisements, safe operation of the advertisement space, force majeure and other matters
customary to lease agreement of such nature.
As of the date of this
prospectus, we have not started the management of digital displays and have not generated any revenue under the outdoor advertising
business. We plan to initiate our outdoor advertising business in the second quarter of 2021, and expect to manage a network of
30,000 digital displays such as LCD screens as well as operate an advertisement platform in Guangdong province, China. We are partnered
with Kezhi, an advertising company in Shenzhen, to install and provide maintenance service for the digital displays while we will
operate the advertisement system by using our Big Data platform. We expect to generate our revenue from the monthly advertisement
fees charged to the advertisers. Supported by our Big Data platform, we are able to identify the most popular advertisements at
a given time and location. With such analysis result, we can help our customers to identify the place and time which attract the
most attention to their advertisements.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our
Ordinary Share involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors contained in any prospectus supplement
and in our filings with the SEC, as well as all of the information contained in this prospectus and the related exhibits, any prospectus
supplement or amendments thereto, and the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein, before you decide to invest in

all or part of your investment in our Ordinary Shares. Some of our statements in sections entitled “Risk Factors”
are forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that we have described are not the only ones that we face. Additional
risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business, prospects,
financial condition and results of operations.
In addition to the

factors below.
Risks Relating to this Offering
We may allocate the net proceeds
from this offering in ways that you or other shareholders may not approve.
We currently intend
to use the net proceeds of this offering, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include capital
expenditures, research and development expenditures, regulatory affairs expenditures, clinical trial expenditures, acquisitions
of new technologies and investments, and the financing of possible acquisitions or business expansions. This expected use of the
net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions. The amounts and
timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including the progress of our development
efforts, the status of and results from our newly developed outdoor advertisements business, and any unforeseen cash needs. Because
the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary
substantially from their currently intended use. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of
the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not necessarily improve our operating results
or enhance the value of our Ordinary Shares. See “Use of Proceeds.”
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We currently intend
to use the net proceeds from this offering, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The timing and amount
of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated growth of our
business. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to
us from this offering. As a result, our management will have broad discretion regarding the timing and application of the net proceeds
from this offering.
MARKET PRICE OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES
Our Ordinary Share
is presently listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “PBTS”. On February 22, 2021, the last reported sale
price of our Ordinary Share was $4.37.
DIVIDEND
POLICY
We have never declared
or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, for use in our business
and therefore do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at
the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating
results, current and anticipated cash needs and plans for expansion.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We have entered into
the sales agreement with A.G.P. under which we may issue and sell Ordinary Shares from time to time up to $30,000,000 to or through
A.G.P., acting as our sales agent. The sales of our Ordinary Shares, if any, under this prospectus supplement will be made at market
prices by any method deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act,
including sales made directly on The NASDAQ Capital Market, on any other existing trading market for our Ordinary Shares or to
or through a market maker.
Each time that we wish
to issue and sell Ordinary Shares under the sales agreement, we will provide A.G.P. with a placement notice describing the amount
of shares to be sold, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the amount of Ordinary Shares
that may be sold in any single day, any minimum price below which sales may not be made or any minimum price requested for sales
in a given time period and any other instructions relevant to such requested sales. Upon receipt of a placement notice, A.G.P.,
acting as our sales agent, will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and
applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of The NASDAQ Capital Market, to sell shares of our Ordinary
Shares under the terms and subject to the conditions of the placement notice and the sales agreement. We or A.G.P. may suspend
the offering of Ordinary Shares pursuant to a placement notice upon notice and subject to other conditions.
Settlement for sales
of Ordinary Shares, unless the parties agree otherwise, will occur on the second trading day following the date on which any sales
are made in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. There are no arrangements to place any of the proceeds of this offering
in an escrow, trust or similar account. Sales of our Ordinary Shares as contemplated in this prospectus supplement will be settled
through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and A.G.P. may agree upon.
We will pay A.G.P.
commissions for its services in acting as our sales agent in the sale of our Ordinary Shares pursuant to the sales agreement. A.G.P.
will be entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of our Ordinary Shares
on our behalf pursuant to the sales agreement. We have also agreed to reimburse A.G.P. for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses (including legal fees and expenses) in an amount not to exceed $45,000 for implementation and up to an additional $8,000
per fiscal year for maintenance.
We estimate that the
total expenses for this offering, excluding compensation payable to A.G.P. and certain expenses reimbursable to A.G.P. under the
terms of the sales agreement, will be approximately $30,000,000. The remaining sales proceeds, after deducting any expenses
payable by us and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory organization in connection with
the sales, will equal our net proceeds for the sale of such Ordinary Shares.
Because there are no
minimum sale requirements as a condition to this offering, the actual total public offering price, commissions and net proceeds
to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. The actual dollar amount and number of Ordinary Shares we sell through this prospectus
supplement will be dependent, among other things, on market conditions and our capital raising requirements.
We will report at least
quarterly the number of Ordinary Shares sold through A.G.P. under the sales agreement, the net proceeds to us and the compensation
paid by us to A.G.P. in connection with the sales of Ordinary Shares under the sales agreement.
In connection with
the sale of Ordinary Shares on our behalf, A.G.P. will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities
Act, and the compensation of A.G.P. will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification
and contribution to A.G.P. against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
A.G.P. will not engage
in any market making activities involving our Ordinary Shares while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus supplement if
such activity would be prohibited under Regulation M or other anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Act. As our sales
agent, A.G.P. will not engage in any transactions that stabilizes our Ordinary Shares.
The offering pursuant
to the sales agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all Ordinary Shares subject to the sales agreement and
(ii) termination of the sales agreement as permitted therein. We may terminate the sales agreement in our sole discretion at any
time by giving 10 days’ prior notice to A.G.P. A.G.P. may terminate the sales agreement under the circumstances specified
in the sales agreement and in its sole discretion at any time by giving 10 days’ prior notice to us.
A.G.P. and/or its affiliates
have provided, and may in the future provide, various investment banking and other financial services for us, for which services
they have received and may in the future receive customary fees.
This prospectus supplement
in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by A.G.P., and A.G.P. may distribute this prospectus supplement
