This year, all 11 districts of Shenzhen are making concerted efforts to attract talent, investment and projects, both domestically and internationally. 

France, Germany, Singapore and Italy are the most popular destinations for Shenzhen's district investment promotion delegations, with the hope that high-tech, financial and fashion enterprises from these developed economies can help strengthen Shenzhen’s respective industry chains. 

Domestically, Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong are the primary focus for most district delegations from Shenzhen. They have found it more efficient to visit key enterprises and departments directly to discuss potential synergies between their respective development plans and those of the districts.

Shenzhen's good business environment, robust industrial foundation, and efficient government services are its main strengths in drawing investors, talent and enterprises.
