Guiyang high-tech zone makes breakthroughs in Guangdong

Through the strenuous work of the investment promotion team in Guangdong province, Guiyang National High-Tech Industrial Development Zone in Southwest China's Guizhou has been rated No 1 in May's provincial business attraction assessment, with 12 investment agreements and 18 framework agreements signed with Guangdong-based companies, according to the zone's bureau of investment promotion.

High-tech zone officials led the team in the prioritization of the Guangdong investment scheme, staging eight special investment promotion activities and launching an investment and business match-up event. The team also paid on-site research visits to major enterprises such as Skyworth Group Co and Eternal Asia Co to ensure collaboration.

At the investment and business match-up session, four firms signed cooperation agreements with the zone, involving a total investment of 3.6 billion yuan ($540 million).

The zone has also deployed a targeted approach to investment promotion, building a coordinated system with the Guizhou Wise Investment Group Co providing front-end services, and the investment promotion units of the government taking care of the rear-end services. The whole business attraction process is thus becoming more intelligent, professional, market-oriented and precise.

It is calculated that the high-tech zone team has so far visited more than 65 firms, and has sent invitations to 27 companies to conduct on-site visits in Guizhou.
