On November 9, the 2023 Qianhai Global Investment Promotion and Talent 
Conference was held, capturing the interest of global enterprises and 
investors. The event attracted many Fortune Global 500 companies, Hong Kong 
enterprises, and leading industrial chain enterprises to locate in Qianhai, 
with a total investment amount of more than 130 billion yuan, injecting more 
impetus into the high-quality development of the city's economy.

At the conference, the Qianhai Global Investment Promotion Plan 2024 and the 
new Six Agglomerations were released, according to Authority of Qianhai 
Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone. A new "6+6" 
spatial pattern of industrial agglomerations has been built upon the original 
Six Agglomerations to accelerate the agglomerated development of advantageous 
industries.

Mr. Wang Shourui, Vice Mayor of the Shenzhen Municipal People's Government, 
stated in his address that the Conference strives to provide enterprises and 
talented people with a first-rate business environment, high-quality industrial 
space, and a broad development stage at a new starting point, joining hands to 
build a key power source for high-quality development. 

Mr. Algernon Yau Ying-wah, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of 
the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, highlighted in a video message 
that the Qianhai Plan's release has provided Hong Kong enterprises with 
additional room for growth.

Qianhai has increased efforts in investment promotion, which have yielded 
remarkable results. Qianhai launched the Qianhai Global Service Providers 
program at last year's conference. The program aims to attract and nurture the 
world's top 50 and China's top 20 global service providers in eight categories 
(finance, trade and logistics, information, science and technology, cultural 
creativity, business, shipping, and public services). It has already gathered 
146 service providers, including UBS, BP, and Tesa.

The Siemens Digital Technology Project is one of the projects launched in 
Qianhai this year. Mr. Shang Huijie, Senior Vice President of Siemens Limited 
China pointed out that the most valuable attribute of Qianhai is the 
development opportunities it brings to enterprises in terms of institutional 
innovation, innovative reform, and high-standard opening up. 

Mr. Yang Fan, Co-founder and President of AI Infrastructure of SenseTime, said 
that SenseTime has developed and gone global with the support and companionship 
of Qianhai.

Analysts agree that the attractive preferential policies have enhanced 
Qianhai's appeal. During the conference, Qianhai introduced the Several 
Measures of the Qianhai Administration Bureau of Shenzhen Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong 
Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone on Promoting the Agglomerated 
Development of Global Service Providers in Qianhai, providing robust support in 
ten areas for enterprises to establish their presence in the area.

Following this year's Conference, it is expected that Qianhai will provide 
stronger impetus for investment promotion to propel the high-quality 
development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in the future.
