SHENZHEN, China, June 29, 2023 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

On June 28, an illustrious gathering unfolded in the Bao'an District of

Shenzhen, marked by the convening of the 2023 Shenzhen-Zhongshan Joint

Investment Promotion Conference. Beyond welcoming a prestigious cohort of 116

foreign-funded enterprises, including Siemens, Walmart, and Amazon, the event

drew the participation of more than 20 distinguished foreign entrepreneurs and

international dignitaries. Also, it served as a platform for the Bao'an Jiuwei

International Headquarters Area (Jiuwei Area) to exhibit its unparalleled

investment prospects to Fortune Global 500 companies and esteemed international

organizations.

Nestled at the heart of the thriving Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay

Area, Bao'an District showcases its prowess in technology-oriented

manufacturers, intricate industrial and supply chains, and an unparalleled web

of connectivity that seamlessly integrates the sea, land, and air

transportation systems with high-speed rails, intercity trains, and metro

lines. Sprawling across nine square kilometers, the vibrant Jiuwei Area lies

just five kilometers away from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport, while

connecting to the arterial Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge and driving the well-known

Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone. Integral

to Shenzhen's burgeoning airport economic zone, it is envisioned as a pivotal

cluster of headquarters. Going ahead, the Jiuwei Area promises to develop into

a "headquarters courtyard" that masterfully harmonizes the urban ethos with the

natural realm. For instance, a mere five-minute stroll will lead one to idyllic

gardens. Extend the leisurely journey to 10 minutes, and what unfolds will not

just be an enchanting natural landscape, but an exquisite fusion of Eastern and

Western influences, exemplified by traditional Hakka diaolou (or "fortified

watchtowers") and Western-style churches. Venture further to the neighboring

Fenghuang Mountain's peak, and a breathtaking panorama of the Pearl River

Estuary will be a reward, according to the Publicity Department of Bao'an

District.

"Shenzhen stands as an eminent contributor to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao

Greater Bay Area, while Bao'an emerges as a dynamic stronghold of advanced

manufacturing. Within the district, a plethora of promising opportunities for

future growth await. Having explored the Jiuwei Area, I must attest to its

pristine surroundings and untapped potential," noted Klaus Zenkel, Vice

President of the European Chamber of Commerce in China, who also attended the

event.

World-renowned companies have been increasing their investments in Bao'an since

May of this year. German aviation company Lilium plans to establish its

Asia-Pacific regional headquarters in Bao'an, while Trumpf, an industrial

machine manufacturer, and Valeo, an automotive supplier, are strategically

expanding their presence in the district. At the core of the Jiuwei Area lies

its pivotal role as a home to the Asia-Pacific operational headquarters and

global R&D headquarters for companies in high technology and advanced

manufacturing. The ambitious endeavor aims to foster a thriving ecosystem for

multinational corporate headquarters and international organizations, a hub for

international business events, and an international exemplar for living,

working, and traveling. With open arms, Bao'an extends an earnest invitation to

Fortune Global 500 companies and esteemed international organizations to

establish their foothold in this thriving domain.
