In order to strengthen the attraction of key enterprises and talents in Shanghai under the current epidemic situation, our city has made overall plans, and various departments and localities have taken the initiative to strengthen investment attraction in Shanghai. From April 15th to May 4th, the city has docked 156 projects in Shanghai, including 81 major industrial projects, 37 science and technology projects and 38 talent projects. 18 projects were signed, including Jiashan’s high-end packaging and testing, Pinghu’s Danish supply chain of over 100 million dollars and other major projects.
The first is to sort out the key targets. Combined with the focus of the city’s industrial development, sort out a number of key attracting target projects, including information on enterprises in Shanghai that are greatly affected by the epidemic and may move out, key leading enterprises outside the “white list of key enterprises to resume work and production” in Shanghai, projects that have been docked in the early stage, and scientific research talents projects that will be closed or postponed due to the epidemic, lock key targets and carry out accurate attracting.
The second is to take multiple measures to strengthen attracting. Actively contact the investment consulting institutions such as “four big firms and five big banks” in Shanghai, the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, the European Chamber of Commerce, the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) and other well-known chambers of commerce (associations), the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, the Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce, and the rural sages and investment consultants in Jiaxing, Shanghai, etc., to expand the source of project information. We will sort out local enterprises that have close ties with Shanghai in the fields of trade and production, carry out “attracting business with business”, and introduce upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain to invest in Heyuan. Focus on key industries such as automobile manufacturing, integrated circuits and biomedicine that are greatly affected by the Shanghai epidemic, and organize more than 60 series of cloud negotiations and cloud signing activities.
The third is to innovate and carry out emotional investment promotion. Take the initiative to contact Shanghai’s key target merchants and long-term partners, and send them warm-hearted gift packages such as urgently needed epidemic prevention materials and living materials to carry out emotional investment promotion. For example, Xiuzhou District contacted and expressed condolences to more than 250 merchants and rural sages in Shanghai, and sent a gift package of warm-hearted materials. At the same time, we will open up a special isolation point for merchants, and accept Shanghai and Guangdong merchants in Xiuzhou from point to point. Pinghu city purchased warm-hearted materials and sent them to the Shanghai headquarters of key foreign-funded enterprises to help attract the second investment. Tongxiang City docked Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shanghai Xinzhuang Town and other Shanghai governments and units to donate urgently needed materials such as vegetables and fruits; Online counseling assists enterprises in Shanghai to complete “online project promotion” under the epidemic situation.
