East China’s Jiangsu province has made unremitting efforts in recent years to optimize business environment by promoting reforms to streamline the government, delegate power, and improve government services.
In a digital industrial park on Zhujiang Road of Nanjing, the newly renovated cultural and creative bookstore, restaurants that are trending online and new retail outlets have attracted many customers.
Many digital product manufacturers are also working at full capacity with their employees rolling up their sleeves and starting the new year's endeavors.
Just a year ago, this old building in downtown Nanjing lacked enough appeal to generate attractive income and taxes.
Last year, the authorities in Nanjing streamlined the administration, reduce the time spent on approval, and transformed it into a cultural and creative industry park.
Cheng Susu, General Manager of Cultural Industry Division, Vice President of Nanjing Jinchuang Industrial Park said, "it was well beyond our expectations that we completed the design, construction, planning, investment attraction and operation within one year.
Since last year, the Industrial Park Administration has visited nearly 100 companies to learn about their operation, business distribution, talent recruitment and development prospects.
Wu Kaifen, Deputy Head of Xuanwu District, Nanjing said, "We have made a series of reforms in administrative approval to optimize the business environment, provide enterprises with investment facilitation services, enjoy a series of services in the process of growth and ensure that enterprises can find projects and find their own strengths.
Many local governments in Jiangsu have also innovated ways to provide targeted services, so that market players can change from being served to serving as instructors.
The taxation department of Xuzhou has introduced tax service product experience. More than 100 experience tutors from enterprises in different industries can "check the pulse" for the tax service and its products, so as to optimize the service, improve the precision and adaptability.
In recent years, Jiangsu has made continuous efforts to optimize the business environment by further promoting online approval and speeding up the reform of the separation of certificate from licenses so that its online government service capabilities, social credit system and business environment have ranked among the top in the country. In the meantime, Jiangsu has registered a total of 13.589 million market entities, ranking second in the country.
