What they say

"We'll set up The Hong Kong Polytechnic University-Zhongshan Technology and Innovation Research Institute in Zhongshan, mainly focusing on the R&D of the biopharmaceutical industry. The relationship between Zhongshan and Hong Kong will be closer as the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link has been opened to traffic. The scientific research of Hong Kong's universities can have larger development space only when it is integrated into the development of the Bay Area and the country."

Teng Jin-Guang, president of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

"The biggest humanistic feature in Zhongshan is the fraternity and inclusiveness. Especially in the last three years, the city's Party committee and government have firmly taken the business environment improvement as the 'No 1 project' of reform. The city has created an atmosphere of caring about entrepreneurs and serving enterprises with enthusiasm and efficiency."

Zhang Chuanwei, founder of Mingyang New Energy Investment

"As a main company of the new energy chain in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, we kept seeking the proper city to implement the industry. Since 2023, the enterprise made a lot of observations in different regions and it found Zhongshan's deep foundation and important advantages in manufacturing new energy equipment."

Wang Jialiang, chairman of Beijing Honghui Energy Development

"We plan to complete the Bay Area (Zhongshan) low-altitude economy industrial park in Tanzhou town, Zhongshan, by the end of 2024. Zhongshan is a pacesetter of reform and opening-up, where the governments at different levels have a very good sense of serving enterprises and make a good business environment. As an aircraft designer, I'm seeing opportunities in Zhongshan that I have never seen before."
