The Beijing-Inner Mongolia (Hohhot) High-end Industrial Matchmaking Conference took place in Beijing on Dec 22.

The event was attended by representatives from government in Inner Mongolia autonomous region and 104 enterprises in Beijing.

Acting Mayor Feng Yuzhen and Vice-Mayor Luo Qing of Hohhot delivered speeches at the conference, recommending the city of Hohhot and the Horinger New Area.

In his address, Feng pointed out that great achievements have been made in cooperation between Beijing and Inner Mongolia as well as between Hohhot in areas such as market exploitation, talent training, education, healthcare, technology and culture over the past 40 years.

Feng said both Beijing and Hohhot were faced with historical opportunities to deepen cooperation, noting that Beijing has begun to transfer its non-capital functions to other areas.

The city of Hohhot has exceptional advantages in undertaking industries transferred from Beijing. Some of the factors include its close proximity to Beijing, advantageous locations, sufficient talents, low cost and preferential policies, as mentioned in Feng’s speech.

He also expressed his wish that companies from Beijing could have more comprehensive and deeper understanding towards Hohhot through negotiation.

On behalf of Hohhot government, Feng vowed to offer a preferential environment for investors in services like education, health care, housing, social security, sports and culture.
