During the first nine months of this year, Guiyang Free Trade Zone in Southwest China's Guizhou province signed agreements on 26 projects with a total investment of 7.88 billion yuan ($1.09 billion).
The zone issued a pilot plan to award market-oriented investment attraction, and encouraged intermediary agents and commercial associations to attract more projects and high-level talent to the zone.
Guiyang FTZ sent investment promotion teams to seek potential investors in the industries of battery production, imported grain and food processing, and big data.
During the recent COVID-19 outbreak, Guiyang FTZ has been focusing on pandemic prevention and investment attraction. Through phone calls, WeChat and e-mails, Guiyang FTZ continued to communicate with companies and signed investment contracts with five companies worth 757 million yuan.
Moving forward, Guiyang FTZ will follow strict pandemic prevention and control measures while striving to achieve its economic growth goal for the fourth quarter of this year.
