The development zone has attracted world-class companies such Nokia, Yazak, Pepsi and etc. To attract overseas Chinese scientists, technologists and entrepreneurs to their place, CHIDZ has hammered out a series of preferential policies with regard to tax, office rent, loans and many others.

Besides current connections with Greater China region, NWCHP will continue its commitment in the future to build a solid relationship with this region’s major industrial groups, investors and government agencies.
