Yidu City is situated in the mountainous region of Ba-Chu to the north and extends to the Jianghan Plain to the south. Encircled by the Yangtze and Qingjiang Rivers, it is a melting pot of Ba and Chu cultures and has long been known as the “Throat of Chu and Shu,” the “Gateway to the Three Gorges,” and the “Gateway to Western Hubei.”The city has consistently adhered to the strategy of strengthening its economy through industry, actively adapting to the new normal and striving for new achievements. Its economy has consistently ranked among the top in the province, and it has been successively listed among the Top 100 Small and Medium-Sized Cities in China by Comprehensive Strength and the Top 100 Industrial Counties and Cities in China. In 2019, Yidu maintained steady economic growth, with increases in key economic indicators exceeding the provincial and Yichang averages. High-quality development achieved greater breakthroughs in terms of “value-added content,” “innovation content,” and “green content.”
In recent years, Yidu has vigorously promoted the transformation of its chemical industry while actively attracting and developing new energy and new materials industries. A number of “hidden champions” in these sectors have established operations in Yidu, giving rise to rapidly emerging industrial clusters such as hydrogen energy and lithium battery materials. These high-standard projects, with strong upstream and downstream industrial influence, are continuously reshaping Yidu’s industrial landscape.In 2018, the city signed 850 new key industrial projects with a total investment of 24.932 billion yuan; 586 key industrial projects broke ground, and 318 key industrial projects began production;Industrial projects with investments of 50 million yuan or more reached a total of 102.51 billion yuan. The city has consistently prioritized investment promotion as its “top priority,” building a professional investment promotion team and focusing on industrial transformation, attracting large-scale and high-quality enterprises, and improving quality and efficiency. This approach has introduced and cultivated a new wave of project momentum, driving Yidu’s high-quality development.
During the symposium, both parties engaged in a thorough exchange regarding current development status and future plans, while also gaining a comprehensive understanding of the city’s leading industries. Following this exchange, GuChuan United will accelerate communication and coordination to provide high-quality, efficient services, thereby offering robust support for Yidu City’s investment promotion and development.
