Guangming District recorded robust foreign trade growth in the first half of 2025, with total imports and exports reaching 78.37 billion yuan from January to June — a year-on-year increase of 9.4%.

Cross-border e-commerce saw a breakthrough, surging by 834% to rank first citywide in terms of growth rate, Shenzhen Special Zone Daily reported.

To drive high-level opening-up, Guangming District introduced a work plan focusing on seven key tasks including nurturing leading enterprises and building competitive industrial clusters.

In February, leveraging investment promotion trips to Japan and the U.S., the district, together with companies such as TCL CSOT and Dymind Biotech, secured nine business deals worth 7.737 billion yuan.

The district is accelerating construction of its first cross-border e-commerce industrial park, integrating product display, business incubation, and financial services to form a one-stop foreign trade hub.

Through a dual approach of policy outreach and hands-on training — including collaboration with Amazon and Alibaba — the district is helping businesses adopt a “third-party platform + independent website” model to expand globally.

Its “Investment Promotion & Global Expansion” Training Program has held five sessions for nearly 350 companies, providing comprehensive support for companies going global.
