Government officials, local enterprises, and international service institutions from home and abroad gathered at the Longhua International Cooperation Center (LICC) on Tuesday to share insights and expertise on the international expansion of local businesses during a summary conference for the center’s international service projects.

During the event, which was hosted by the LICC and organized by Roadlink GLB, the center released its latest report on international service projects aimed at outbound enterprises.

The report provides an analysis of the local business environment, key investment sectors, and relevant policies in the EU, South America, North America, Oceania, the Middle East, and China’s Hong Kong.

It also introduced details for 29 innovative projects from global sources, along with the district’s relevant preferential policies for new energy, high-end medical device manufacturing, and the low-altitude economy.

Lesley Li, vice president of London & Partners’ China offices, stated that the agency has recognized the potential in Longhua’s new energy and medical device industries.

London & Partners, the official growth agency for London, has already assisted Longhua firms such as Winner Medical and Hello Tech in entering the London market.

Li hopes to collaborate with the LICC on information exchange and policy briefings and send a business delegation to Longhua to explore potential opportunities.

“We have also identified significant potential in Longhua’s life sciences, digital economy, modern fashion, and cultural creative industries,” Li stated. “London, in turn, has a strong ecosystem of fintech, software, hardware, AI, and technology services enterprises that can complement these sectors.”

He Wenxi, chairman of the supervisory board at Zhejiang Meorient Commerce & Exhibition Co. Ltd., said, “Longhua has been a powerhouse in the electronics industry... These enterprises, especially small and medium-sized ones, are inclined to enter overseas markets by participating in international fairs.”

He emphasized that the LICC can engage directly with firms and receive their inquiries firsthand. By leveraging this information, institutions like Meorient can adjust their services accordingly and provide enterprises with solutions developed from an official perspective.

By collaborating with Roadlink GLB, the LICC has successfully hosted seven roadshows featuring domestic and international projects across 11 sectors.

Additionally, the LICC is planning to send a delegation of enterprises to international events like the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29), which will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan, from Nov. 11 to 22.
