ZHONGSHAN, China, March 31, 2023 /Xinhua=KYODO JBN/--

On March 30, 2023, the opening ceremony of the 2023 Zhongshan Global Investment

Promotion Conferences and the 10th Top Talent Networking was held, resulting in

an intended investment of more than 184 billion yuan. More than 500 people from

all over the world, including outstanding entrepreneurs, high-level talents,

joined the event at the main venue in Zhongshan and sub-venues set up in Hong

Kong and Macao SARs at home, as well as in Malaysia. Against the backdrop of

the increasingly unstable world economy, enterprises are optimistic about

Zhongshan's development potential and confident in investing here.

With the theme of "Invest in Zhongshan for a Win-win Future", Zhongshan has

listed out 23 potential projects with detail information to attract global

investment for the first time, aiming to attract more attention from domestic

and foreign high-quality enterprises to Zhongshan. These projects cover key

areas, including healthcare, medicine, smart home appliances, next-generation

information technology, high-end equipment manufacturing, new energy, trade,

and modern services.

The number of Zhongshan's investment projects has reached 263. Out of the over

90 billion yuan of projects that have been signed, 75 billion is for

manufacturing projects, accounting for about 83%.

As an important junction in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,

Zhongshan has attracted investment from enterprises in various industries with

its superior location, strong industrial foundation, and ample industrial

space.

Liu Zhengyu, president of Shenzhen Intl Holdings Ltd., said that the company is

optimistic about the development potential and prospects of Zhongshan and has

listed Zhongshan as a prime hub city and strategic core location. The two

parties will work together to build a Shenzhen-Zhongshan modern supply chain

base in the Greater Bay Area, which is expected to bring about 500,000 square

meters of industrial space for the city in the future.

Zheng Guihui, president of ZDVC Group, mentioned that the company will

establish a 10-billion-yuan project of new energy battery materials and

ultra-clean and high-purity microelectronic materials, as well as a global

production management headquarters in Zhongshan. Once the project is completed,

it will be the world's largest production base in that specialized field. The

hope is to build a global first-class microelectronics industry innovation

center in Zhongshan in the future.

Zhongshan is dedicated to building one of the best cities in terms of business

environment with the fastest project approval process and the most efficient

services. Kaneo Saito, general manager of Minebea AccessSolutions (Guangdong)

Co., Ltd., thinks that Zhongshan is a famous historical and cultural city with

an advantageous location and convenient transportation. The Zhongshan Municipal

Government attaches great importance to the development of the real economy,

encourages innovation and digital upgrading of enterprises, and helps them

attract talents. Officials at all levels provide considerate services to

enterprises and quick handling and response to their requests, all of which

attract Minebea to settle in Zhongshan and continue to expand its investment

and production.

In addition, Zhongshan is accelerating the construction of high-level talent

hub in the Greater Bay Area and making every effort to build a fertile ground

for innovation and entrepreneurship for talents. "The fully furnished talent

apartments, considerate incentive policies for talents, and the Top Talent

Networking that has been held for 10 years make me feel the strong atmosphere

of Zhongshan's recognition and respect for talents," commented Hu Mingxiu,

senior vice president of Zhongshan Akeso Biopharma Inc.

For the first time, this year's Zhongshan Global Investment Promotion

Conferences included not only activities in the main venue but also many

special investment promotion activities in towns and districts in accordance

with their industrial characteristics. More than 14 industry chain investment

promotion meetings on industrial design, intelligent manufacturing,

bio-medicine, new energy, photoelectric information and modern services, as

well as 12 talent networking activities, including a job fair for enterprises

in Zhongshan's "10 New Industrial Clusters", a supply and demand meeting for

high-skilled talents, and entrepreneurship and innovation activities for Hong

Kong, Macao and Taiwan youth as well as overseas Chinese, will be carried out

across the city.
