The Heshan (Gulao) Wanyang Innovation City project is a key investment attraction project and key project of the municipal government. Heshan, through "building nests to attract phoenixes", actively builds investment platforms, improves supporting policies, and optimizes government services to attract projects to land. From investigation to signing, this project took only two months, setting a "speed" and "new record" for Heshan's investment attraction.

The project uses the footwear and apparel manufacturing industry and innovative technologies as its leading industries, striving to build a demonstration area for advanced manufacturing industries on the west bank of the Pearl River and a modern industrial smart park with integrated development of "production, city, and people". The total investment in the project is 2 billion yuan, and it is expected to attract 200 enterprises, creating 10,000 jobs. The project was launched in November 2019, and currently, about 250,000 square meters of investment promotion area has been completed, with a total of 61 enterprises introduced, with a total investment of 1 billion yuan, forming three major industrial clusters: footwear and apparel textiles, sporting goods, and electronics and electrical appliances.

At the commissioning ceremony, Zheng Xiaoyi, Vice Mayor of Jiangmen, said that Jiangmen is actively seizing the major opportunities of the "dual zones" and the Hengqin and Qianhai cooperation zones, deeply promoting the "six major projects", and striving to build a new pattern of high-quality development in the new era of Qiaodu. The city will accelerate the planning and construction of large-scale industrial agglomeration areas and strive to build the main battlefield for the high-quality development of manufacturing in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Zheng Xiaoyi hopes that Wanyang Innovation City will take a long-term perspective, emancipate its mind, take root in Jiangmen to grow and become stronger, actively seize the precious opportunities of the rapid development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, accelerate its pace, help Jiangmen's high-quality economic development, and contribute to Sino-European cooperation in Heshan.

The operation of the Guangzhou Nansha Port to Heshan Zhuxi Logistics Center Jiangmen North Station freight train and the "Jiangmen" China-Laos international freight train is a major event in the history of Heshan's economic and trade development, which is of great significance to deepening cooperation between Jiangmen and ASEAN and Europe, promoting foreign trade exchanges in the Greater Bay Area, and building a major channel for the Guangdong land "Silk Road".

In the past five years, Heshan has achieved good results in its connection with Europe. More than 200 enterprises have conducted economic and trade exchanges with Europe, with trade volume exceeding 15 billion yuan, and an annual growth rate of 10%; successfully introduced well-known European enterprises such as Weilon Logistics and Italian Berlati Electronics; Swiss Franka, Russian Temis, and Italian Farolli have respectively established their Asia-Pacific R&D and production headquarters in the core area of Heshan.

Zhang Huajing, Deputy Secretary of the Heshan Municipal Committee and Mayor, said that this year, Heshan will deeply implement the spirit of the 14th Party Congress of Jiangmen and the second plenary session of the 14th Municipal Committee, focusing on the goal of "building a model area for Sino-European cooperation", seizing investment attraction and project construction, and striving to build it into an advanced manufacturing industry highland in the western Pearl River Delta. The concentrated commencement and production of these 19 projects is a specific action of Heshan's implementation of Jiangmen's "1+6+3" work arrangement, and it is also a powerful measure to adhere to the strategy of "industrial strengthening the city" and promote the construction of the Sino-European cooperation zone.

Zhang Huajing hopes that Wanyang Group will continue to give full play to its industry advantages, overcome the impact of the epidemic, establish confidence in development, and build the project into a model of modern industrial parks in Heshan and even Jiangmen. The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will continue to serve with a high sense of responsibility, continuously optimize the business environment, and wholeheartedly provide considerate, convenient, and high-quality services for Wanyang Group and its resident enterprises to promote the early production and efficiency of the projects.

The business environment here is good, and the government's support for enterprises is strong, so we chose to be here. Heshan has a very good business environment, and it is a demonstration area for Sino-European cooperation. Currently, Wanyang uses its talent resource advantages and seizes the opportunities of Sino-European cooperation, adopting a "one-enterprise, one-policy" investment attraction principle for European enterprises, allowing enterprises to keep their industries in Heshan. In the future, we will deeply participate in "industrial transformation" and "village transformation" projects in Heshan, seeking incremental growth from idle land, revitalizing idle land, and contributing Wanyang's strength to the high-quality development of Heshan Park.
