Dinghai shows remarkable achievements in attracting investment in H1

Dinghai district in Zhoushan, East China's Zhejiang province, made remarkable achievements in attracting investment in the first half of this year, with nine projects with an investment of more than 100 million yuan ($13.72 million) secured, according to authorities.

The projects are related to Zhoushan's four pillar industries – green petrochemical new materials, high-end equipment manufacturing, marine electronic information and marine biomedicine, and will play a key role in advancing the city's high-quality development, said a staff member of the district's investment promotion bureau.

This strong performance was largely due to a series of actions taken by authorities, including establishing a special task force to streamline approval procedures and setting up liaison offices in cities like Kunshan, Shanghai and Ningbo.

Staff members of the Kunshan liaison office have engaged with enterprises focusing on unmanned surface vehicles, cross-border e-commerce, and culture and tourism development.

One of the staff members said that they have done an in-depth survey of the culture and tourism enterprise to make sure the project will align with Zhoushan's maritime culture characteristics.

Authorities will also channel more resources into attracting high-quality projects related to the new energy sector, such as photovoltaics and clean power.
