Nantong held an investment environment promotion conference in Beijing on Saturday in a bid to inherit Zhang Jian's entrepreneurial spirit, promote commercial culture, and help Nantong become an important growth pole for high-quality development in the province.
Nearly 100 state-owned enterprises and well-known private enterprises from industries such as equipment manufacturing, next-generation information technology, biopharmaceuticals, and finance attended the conference. The Beijing Branch of the Nantong Chamber of Commerce Association and the Beijing Nantong Business Culture Promotion Association have been unveiled and established, hoping to build a platform for communication and exchange, connecting local sentiments, deepening cooperation, and seeking common development for Nantong local elites in Beijing so as to gather the wisdom and strength of people from all walks of life, and jointly draw the blueprint for Nantong's development.
“The Beijing Nantong Merchant Culture Promotion Association is a platform for exchanging experiences, strengthening cooperation, and promoting development. It will enable us to establish more and more extensive connections with Nantong's enterprises in Beijing, and jointly make greater contributions to the development of our hometown,” said Chen Yi, Chairman and President of Shenzhou Longxin Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.
In recent years, Nantong has formed six multi-billion-yuan industrial clusters, including shipbuilding and marine engineering, high-end textiles, new generation information technology, new materials, high-end equipment, and new energy by seizing major strategic opportunities such as the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta and worked hard to create an important growth pole for the province’s high-quality development.
In order to further stimulate market vitality, Nantong has introduced 66 new regulations to optimize its business environment this year, hoping to enhance the "soft power" of a more attractive and competitive city.
