Hangzhou’s foreign investment has seen robust growth in the first two months of this year, with the city attracting a total investment of $2.52 billion from overseas enterprises, local media outlets reported.
Hangzhou approved 53 new foreign investment projects with a total investment of $2.08 billion in the first two months of this year, and 11 projects increased their investments, which now total $405 million.
Specifically, 22 high-tech projects were focused on solar energy, electrical engineering, technology research and development, software, and information technology, with a total investment of $448 million, a year-on-year increase of 58.3 percent.
Hangzhou’s enterprises have also increased their investment in RCEP member countries as the newly-approved 11 projects registered a total investment of $81 million, a year-on-year increase of 104.54 percent.
The city currently has six overseas cooperation zones across the world, covering fields such as petroleum refining, manufacturing, agriculture, and technology research and development.
