development history

In 1984, the experimental field bathed in reform and opening up was born. In the golden autumn of 20 years, on the hot land of Yantai Economic and Technological Development Zone, its builders are reaping rich fruits and sowing tomorrow's glory. Twenty years of trials and hardships, twenty years of spring and autumn. In the past 20 years, Yantai Economic and Technological Development Zone has actually utilized 1.77 billion US dollars of foreign capital, and has attracted 26 "world top 500" enterprises to settle down. The total economic volume has doubled in two years

In just 20 years, the development zone has been transformed from a deserted beach with few people into a modern new city. The turbulent sound of Jinshan Beach in the development zone is announcing to the world: the Development Zone, a long-distance ship elaborately built by Yantai, is sailing to a broader development space.

The 20 years since the establishment of the development zone is the 20 years of opening to the outside world and attracting investment. At the beginning of the construction of the Development Zone, the decision makers of the Development Zone realized that the project is the lifeline of the construction of the Development Zone, and the quantity and quality of the project introduction determines the speed and level of the construction of the Development Zone in a great way. In the past 20 years, Yantai Development Zone has been focusing on the work of attracting investment, constantly broadening new ideas of development, boldly adjusting the opening strategy, and laying a solid foundation for the development zone to achieve leapfrog development.

Based on the scientific analysis of the trend and characteristics of foreign investment in China, Yantai Development Zone puts forward the idea of "consolidating Hong Kong and Taiwan, strengthening Japan and South Korea, expanding Europe and America". For investors in Southeast Asia and other countries and regions, we should continue to give full play to the advantages of multiple contacts and good foundation, encourage foreign investors to expand investment and attract partner investment; for Japan and South Korea, two countries with a narrow strip of water, we should firmly seize the opportunity of industrial transfer and construction of Jiaodong peninsula manufacturing base, and take the form of setting up overseas professional investment offices and high-level mutual visits to deepen mutual understanding and communication; For European and American countries and regions, we should change the past practice of "casting nets all over the sky", take the United States and Germany as the breakthrough points, and gradually expand to the key countries and regions in North America, northern Europe, Central Europe, and the Pacific Rim, so as to concentrate our efforts on tackling tough battles.

In order to improve the level of project introduction, the development zone has established investment promotion files for the world's top 500 enterprises, multinational companies and domestic top 500 enterprises, selected key points to study one by one, and made targeted investment promotion projects. For high-tech industries, projects that can form industrial scale, have strong driving force of radiation belt, and have high ability to earn foreign exchange through export, we should open up "green channels" to promote early registration, early construction, and early benefit. Over the past 20 years, 26 Fortune 500 enterprises have taken root, sprouted, blossomed and fruited in the development zone.

As of the end of September 2004, 818 foreign investment projects have been introduced into the Development Zone in the past 20 years, with a total investment of 4.64 billion US dollars. Among them, 112 projects with an investment amount of more than 10 million US dollars. As an economic and Technological Development Zone located in a prefecture level city, it dares to aim at the development zones of big cities and challenge the "top 10 national development zones". It seems impossible to some people.

Yantai Development Zone after 20 years of hard work, but this goal has become a reality: in 2000, the economic strength of Yantai Development Zone in 49 national development zones also ranked 13, to 2002, more than five national development zones, among the top eight. According to the comprehensive evaluation of 49 national development zones released by the Ministry of Commerce in 2003, Yantai Development Zone ranked seventh.

Especially in recent years. On the basis of realizing 4.5 billion yuan in 2000, GDP reached 14 billion yuan in 2003, and 30 billion yuan in three years, 1.3 times of the previous 16 years; the average growth rate in three years was 45.8%, 16 percentage points higher than the National Development Zone and 31 percentage points higher than the whole city.

The rapid economic development of Yantai Development Zone benefits from the adjustment of industrial structure. They firmly seized the opportunity of a new round of international industrial transfer and the construction of manufacturing base on the peninsula, made timely decisions, adjusted the original development of six pillar industries to the development of two leading industries of mechanical and automotive and electronic information, and made the pillar industries bigger and stronger to enhance the regional core competitiveness.

Under the guidance of this idea, Yantai Development Zone focuses on strengthening the investment attraction in these two fields. With the settlement of GM, LG mobile phone and other heavyweight projects, as well as the rapid development of Foxconn, Doosan machinery, Daewoo shipbuilding, innot, Shougang Denso, Zhenghai electronics and other original enterprises in the zone, the industrial advantages of the development zone have really formed, and the agglomeration and cluster effects have appeared. At the same time of attracting investment, Yantai Development Zone has strengthened the cultivation of existing enterprises. Starting from the scale expansion of core enterprises, focusing on the vehicle and parts, equipment machinery and parts, high-tech electronic information products processing and other fields, giving priority from capital, talent, policy and other aspects. Yantai Development Zone has set up "Peony Award" among the enterprises in the whole zone. If the annual output value reaches 5 billion yuan, the management committee will award the enterprise "Golden Flower Award", reward the enterprise legal representative 500000 yuan at one time, and award the enterprise a pure gold trophy. If the annual output value exceeds 2 billion yuan and 500 million yuan, the "silver flower Award" and "copper flower Award" will be awarded respectively, and corresponding material rewards will be given.

In 2002, it took only 24 hours for Yinghai Electronics Co., a wholly-owned enterprise in Hong Kong with an investment of 26 million US dollars, to establish and register. The incident caused quite a stir in the city. Nowadays, in the Development Zone, it is not new to register an enterprise in one day.

Why do foreign businessmen love Yantai Development Zone? Why can investors get the approval certificate in a time beyond imagination? This is a new phenomenon after the implementation of the strategy of "optimizing the environment and prospering the district" in Yantai Development Zone, the transformation of government functions, the streamlining of administration and decentralization, and the acceleration of government affairs.

In order to build a "sunshine government", the Development Zone began to explore the implementation of ISO9000 international government standard implementation system in 2001, and began to standardize the establishment, modification and abolition of documents. The series of activities of "year of environmental construction" in the past few years have contributed to the speed-up of streamlining administration.

After two rounds of examination and approval system reform, more than 80 of the 140 normative documents since the establishment of the development zone have been abolished, 64% of the examination and approval items have been cut off, and 75 administrative fees have been cleaned up or reduced. In addition, the development zone has also set up "green channel" and "immediate office" to solve difficulties for foreign investment enterprises. "Enterprises have difficulties, please find" do it now "has become a landmark slogan of the development zone. The concepts of "enterprise first" and "satisfy investors" have taken root in the development zone.

In order to create a first-class investment environment, the development zone also proposes the goal of building an "ecological, garden style, modern new urban area". Over the past 20 years, a total of 6 billion yuan has been invested in the construction and operation of a number of high-grade infrastructure. The supporting infrastructure has developed from the traditional "seven links and one leveling" and "nine links and one leveling" to precision and specialization, and has become the third area in China to carry out urban information pipeline intensification after Beijing and Shanghai. While constantly improving the level of supporting hardware facilities, the Development Zone pays more attention to the construction of comprehensive investment environment such as humanities, rule of law and ecology, and puts "scientific planning, reasonable development, and building a harmonious and efficient ecological city" into the environmental policy to solidly promote the construction of eco industrial park. The development zone has become "China's industrial park environmental management demonstration zone", and won the title of "isoi4000 national demonstration zone", becoming the first area in Shandong Province to win this award.
