On the 26th, "Foreign Economic and Trade Institutions Look at Shanghai - Into Changning" was held in Wysh Feiyueli, Wuyi Road. "This is an important platform for foreign economic and trade institutions in Shanghai to understand Changning and exchange and interact, and will further promote resource sharing and complementary advantages in the future, and closely connect and strengthen cooperation. Yang Dongsheng, vice president of the Shanghai Council for the Promotion of International Trade and the Shanghai Chamber of International Commerce, said.
At the scene, more than 50 chief representatives of 36 foreign economic and trade institutions in Shanghai from Japan, South Korea, the United States, Germany, Australia and other countries, as well as relevant persons in charge of key digital enterprises in the region, such as Pinduoduo and Baiqiu, attended the event.
Regardless of whether they "bring in" or "go out", foreign economic and trade institutions are often regarded as "bridgeheads": on the one hand, they should fully introduce the regional or municipal situation to domestic enterprises to help them accurately target; On the other hand, it is also important to consult regional or municipal companies entering the market in their country. In Changning District, the proportion of consulates is high, foreign-funded enterprises and foreigners are concentrated, and the high degree of internationalization provides an atmosphere and foundation for the region to expand and optimize foreign exchange networks, channels and fields, and "link the world" more extensively.
Not long ago, Changning District held a conference on optimizing the business environment, and put forward a number of key measures to "attract business through business", among which foreign and commercial institutions were included in the "investment partners". This is based on the cooperation between the towns and districts in the region.
For example, in 2021, Changning District established the Greater Hongqiao Sino-Japanese Enterprise Exchange and Development Alliance, and established the China-Japan Meeting Room during last year's CIIE, which was "connected" by relevant streets with a high concentration of Japanese-funded enterprises. Over the past two years, the alliance has gradually become a reputation among Japanese companies, and the street has been able to connect resources for Japanese and Chinese enterprises.
In Changning District, more than 6,100 digital economy enterprises are forming an online "cornucopia" - 29 e-commerce trading platforms with more than 100 million yuan, ranking first in the city in terms of total transaction volume. This set of data has made many foreign economic and trade institutions full of interest, "Is it possible for some niche brands to go through Internet channels?" At the scene, Baiqiu, a key enterprise in the district, gave a positive reply: treat everyone equally.
The "Shanghai Silicon Alley", where the event was held, is outlining the outline of internationalization in the sound of global technology returning to the city. In the plot of the "Xinxiuhui" project across the lane from Feiyueli, an international technology trading center has gradually taken shape. The developer cooperates with the Shanghai Technology Exchange Center: holds a regular meeting of science and technology innovation with well-known universities in Shanghai once a week. The school recommends good technology to them, and they do angel investment, technology trading, and talent programs. In this way, more science and technology enterprises and scientific and technological innovation talents have slowly gathered, the scientific and technological innovation ecology has been continuously improved, and the vitality of innovation and creativity has been stimulated.
The relevant person in charge of Changning District said that the region will build more platforms for international exchanges, cooperation and exchanges, provide a better business environment for foreigners and enterprises, and look forward to the majority of foreign-funded enterprises choosing and investing in Changning.
