Guiyang HIDZ has made great efforts to achieve these triumphs.

In recent years, the zone has put much focus on industries such as high-end consumer goods manufacturing, advanced equipment manufacturing, new energy and the digital economy, introducing new technologies, new industries and new business formats. As a result, it has attracted a number of industry-leading companies.
