Editor's note:
Shanghai, a well-established destination for investment from home and abroad, is confident it will attract more quality investment thanks to better policies and services.
Twenty-three projects with a total investment of 15.458 billion yuan (US$2.14 billion) were signed in Qingpu District on Tuesday during the 2024 Shanghai Global Investment Promotion Conference, with the district stepping up efforts to lure investment from home and abroad.
The projects cover both leading industries such as biomedicine, artificial intelligence, software information and intelligent manufacturing, and emerging sectors such as new energy and the low-altitude economy.
Among them, 12 projects were worth more than 100 million yuan each.
During the event, Xujing and Liantang towns promoted their key industries, policies and service advantages and business environment, while the Yangtze River Delta region large model acceleration port was unveiled.
