Guangdong to host 100 investment attraction activities in 2025

In 2025, Guangdong province is set to host over 100 key investment attraction activities to facilitate high-quality development through robust investment and business attraction. The Guangdong Provincial People's Government recently put forth a work plan on business and investment attraction in 2025, outlining comprehensive approaches to attract both domestic and foreign investment.

The work plan sets the goal of organizing over 100 "Invest in Guangdong" series investment attraction activities across the province in 2025, including 41 provincial-level events, and at least 59 city-level events.

Innovative investment attraction models are also included in the work plan. First, Guangdong will leverage exhibitions and major events such as the Canton Fair for investment attraction; second, it will optimize fund-based investment attraction through the "Invest in Guangdong" platform and enhance cooperation with global investment institutions.

Scenario-based investment attraction in emerging fields will be widely promoted, focusing on key sectors such as the low-altitude economy, big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. Data-driven investment attraction will also be explored to improve the precision of target enterprise profiling and ensure compliant and orderly competition in investment attraction.

The work plan puts emphasis on project implementation, addressing key challenges such as land, funding, and environmental protection to enhance the efficiency of the entire investment attraction chain from intention to signing, landing, and production.

As part of the plan, Guangdong is now actively advancing high-level opening-up and optimizing its business environment through a series of economic and trade exchange activities. In 2025, the province will host 19 key overseas investment attraction activities. Business and investment attraction delegations are going to visit countries such as Germany, Hungary, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, the United States, Mexico, Australia, Brazil, and Argentina to promote investment and market expansion.

At the city level, Zhuhai will host a special investment attraction event in Macao in October; Shantou is to organize economic and trade exchanges in the Philippines, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Australia; Foshan will hold investment cooperation activities with Malaysia and Indonesia; Huizhou will promote the China-South Korea (Huizhou) Industrial Park in South Korea; and Zhanjiang will hold investment promotion events targeting ASEAN countries such as Vietnam and Thailand.

These activities will focus on key regions and industries to attract investment, reinforcing the long-standing appeal of Guangdong as a destination for prosperity, encapsulated in the saying, "No matter where you come from, fortune awaits in Guangdong."
