During the conference, the Fujian Provincial Department of Commerce and the Fuzhou Municipal Government present a comprehensive overview of the region’s economic development. The event also marks the debut of the Fuzhou Four-Chain Integration Public Service Platform, which is now open for user access. Designed to drive deep integration of the industrial, innovation, talent, and capital chains, the platform integrates over 700,000 data points from national and municipal sources—including policies, funding, talent databases, and other essential resources. Leveraging advanced digital and intelligent technologies, it powers a governance platform for industrial policy, enabling government departments to gain precise insights into industry trends, identify strengths and weaknesses, and deliver targeted policies and resource support. As an external-facing service hub, the platform features four core sections:
– Industry Insights,
– Talent Search,
– Financing Opportunities,
– Technology Discovery.
These sections help businesses, research institutions, and investment entities access relevant information across the four chains, identify matching policies and resources, and efficiently publish or respond to development needs—all through a unified, one-stop service. Moving forward, all newly developed enterprise services and approval-related systems in Fuzhou are set to be integrated into this platform, forming a centralized enterprise services hub—a business-facing version of the “e-Fuzhou” smart city platform.
The conference features a dedicated promotion session for the China-Indonesia “Two Countries, Twin Parks” initiative. The city of Fuqing provided an in-depth briefing on the initiative’s development progress, supportive policies, and key investment priorities. Representatives from Indonesia’s Kawasan Industri Terpadu Batang introduce the latest developments via video link, while business representatives from both countries take the stage to showcase the favorable investment environment of the twin industrial parks.
Running from May 18 to June 18, the 2025 China Fuzhou International Investment Promotion Month follows a “1+2+13” framework:
