"Nanhai district is a hot spot for investment, a paradise for entrepreneurship, and an industrial highland." On the morning of September 14, the Intelligent Manufacturing, Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Industries Promotion Conference and the Factory Network Business Conference (FBC) 2021 were held in Nanhai district, Foshan city in southern China's Guangdong province, hosted by the People's Government of Nanhai District. Gu Yaohui, head of the district, said in his speech that he hopes more domestic and foreign business men know more about Nanhai district, stay and realize their dreams here. This is the sixth consecutive year that Nanhai has held the FBC. 130 Japanese companies and 40 Chinese ones participated in the exhibition this year, covering metal products, automobile and ship products, steel industry, general machinery, electrical machinery, electronic components, precision machinery, environmental protection and energy conservation, etc. A number of projects, which were newly introduced or with increased capital for expanding production, including the Yusei project of precision plastic parts for automotive headlights, were signed at the site. Over the past six years, the FBC has gradually developed into an significant event for Nanhai to deepen economic and trade cooperation with Japan and an important window for investment introduction promotion. It bridges the gap between Chinese and Japanese companies and helps to improve product quality as private companies in Nanhai purchase higher-quality parts and accessories. At the same time, these private companies gain access to the supply chain of Japanese companies and open up a broader global market. The annual turnover of the FBC is more than 30 million, and many high-quality Japanese companies have signed contracts, injecting strong momentum into the construction of a modern industrial system featuring high-tech manufacturing industry, high-quality service industry, new energy industry, new material industry, new generation electronic information industry, new bio-medicine industry. Currently, Nanhai, a district in a prefecture-level city, has the most densely dotted Japanese-funded enterprises, 120 in total, in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, of which, 19 are among the world's top 500 enterprises, with a total investment of more than 3 billion U.S. dollars. These achievements come as a result of the district's continuous optimization of the business environment and the service mechanism, as well as continuous strengthening of the investment introduction team. There are 19 Japanese-speaking personnel serving Japanese businesses. In addition to daily work contacts, officials of Nanhai communicate with the Japanese Business Association every quarter to follow up the development of Japanese companies and help solve their problems. For example, during the epidemic, Japanese companies faced a series of issues such as shortage of epidemic prevention materials, examination and approval of technical personnel entering China, and employees vaccinating, all of which were effectively coordinated and resolved.
