“Traveling thousands of miles is not as good as the banks of the Huai River.” Huai’an, the hometown of great figures, the capital of the Grand Canal, a culinary hub, and a cultural metropolis, enjoys the convergence of strategic opportunities.

As the pioneering city of the national strategic Huai River Ecological Economic Belt and the regional central city, Huai’an is steadfast in its path towards industrial prowess, vigorously promoting high-quality leapfrog development. Its GDP has leaped over three trillion yuan in a decade, achieving two landmark milestones in 2023: regional GDP surpassing 500 billion yuan and the scale of industrial investment exceeding 100 billion yuan. Huai’an was awarded the highest grade in the comprehensive assessment of high-quality development in Jiangsu Province, marking its historic achievements.

At present, distinctive industry clusters in Huai’an, such as electronic information, green food, and new energy, are rapidly rising. With leading industry benchmarks, global pioneers, demonstration factories, and flagship projects choosing Huai’an and pursuing dreams here, investing and starting businesses in Huai’an are timely and opportune.

A “Golden Signboard” for Business Environment: Where Hearts Are at Ease for Businessmen

The “101% service” concept provides a premium ecological soil for the survival and development of enterprises, also serving as a crucial support for Huai’an to maintain enduring competitiveness.

“In my opinion, Huai’an is a ‘magical’ city.” Qin Ronghua, Chairman of Minsheng Holding Group, did not hesitate to praise Huai’an at the Fourth Huaihe Chinese Businessmen Conference. He elaborated on the “magic” of Huai’an from various aspects such as project efficiency and benefits, inviting more colleagues to perceive these wonders together.

In the eyes of entrepreneurs, Huai’an integrates the genes of friendliness and emphasis on commerce into urban development. It is this aspect of Huai’an that makes entrepreneurs feel like-minded “fellow travelers” and “partners” in innovation and entrepreneurship.

Over the years, aiming for the goal of “first-class in the country and leading in the province,” Huai’an has practiced the concept of “doing better than saying, and providing services earlier than demand.” It is dedicated to creating a business environment with “the lowest logistics costs, lowest factor costs, optimal service environment, and highest efficiency in handling affairs,” implementing specialized services for major industrial projects, and a coordinated guarantee mechanism at the municipal level. Continuously refreshing the “acceleration” of Huai’an, it is shaping the “Huai’an Standard” for the business environment.

City-County Collaboration: Opening Up to the World with Arms Wide

A drop of water gathers tremendous power.

With a sense of responsibility of “playing one game of chess” and “pulling one rope” from top to bottom, Huai’an employs a methodological approach of “point-to-surface” and city-county collaboration to plan industrial layout based on regional characteristics. It treats attracting investment as a top priority and a major task, showcasing more vitality and energy with a burgeoning momentum.

By the end of 2023, investors from more than 70 countries and regions had come to Huai’an for investment, establishing a total of 4,102 foreign-funded projects. With a more open and inclusive attitude and a pursuit of mutual benefit and win-win outcomes, Huai’an is voicing itself on the world stage.

The Huaihe Chinese Businessmen Conference serves as a “bridge” for overseas Chinese, focusing on the advantages of a unified front line, using the Huai River as a bond, gathering leading figures from different countries, fields, and industries to boost investment promotion and economic development—a successful practice.

With favorable timing, geographical advantages, and harmonious human relations, Huai’an, as an important node city along the Huai River, harbors infinite development possibilities and enormous potential for business opportunities. The genes of “emphasizing commerce and being friendly to commerce” will continue here.
