Guangming District recorded 313 investment projects introduced during the first half of 2025, representing a 42.92% year-on-year increase.

Once fully operational, these projects are expected to generate an annual output value (or revenue) of 17.8 billion yuan, Shenzhen Special Zone Daily reported.

Notably, over 70% of the projects fall within the district's key industrial clusters, underlining Guangming's focus on strategic and emerging industries.

Behind this accelerated momentum is Guangming's “all-staff participation in investment promotion” approach, supported by innovative mechanisms, proactive promotion events, and an optimized business ecosystem that ensures the smooth establishment of high-quality enterprises.

In the first half of the year, Guangming hosted 50 investment promotion events and participated in 33 exhibitions, continuously engaging enterprises interested in settling in the district. At the Shenzhen (Guangming)–Shanghai Investment Promotion Exchange, the district connected with around 120 high-quality foreign enterprises, securing 10 signed projects with domestic and foreign companies, with an intended investment of over 8 billion yuan. Leading local companies such as Skyworth Photovoltaic and Dymind Biotech also signed cooperation orders worth 2.035 billion yuan at the event.

Guangming has followed a strategy of “going out + inviting in + building platforms.” In the first half of 2025, officials visited or engaged with 1,134 enterprises, including more than 90 foreign-invested firms that visited Guangming on their own initiative. These efforts uncovered 116 potential project leads, and facilitated the signing of 16 cooperation agreements and MOUs with domestic and international enterprises from countries such as the United States and Belarus. In total, the district secured 12.772 billion yuan in corporate orders and landed 18 major projects.

This year, Guangming's investment promotion strategy is centered on its “3+3+1” key industry clusters, which cover advanced manufacturing, strategic emerging industries, and future industries. In the first half of 2025, over 70% of the 313 newly introduced projects belonged to these clusters, with strategic and future industries accounting for nearly 70% of the total.
