Recently, the General Office of the People's Government of Guangdong Province issued and implemented the "Guangdong Province 2025 Investment Promotion Work Plan" ("Work Plan"), aiming to coordinate domestic and foreign investment attraction across the province, stabilize the economic foundation, and support high-quality development. The "Work Plan" outlines that Guangdong will host over 100 "Invest Guangdong" key investment promotion events in 2025, including 41 at the provincial level (27 within the province, 6 outside the province, and 8 overseas) and no fewer than 59 at the municipal level (34 within the province, 14 outside the province, and 11 overseas).

In terms of establishing mechanisms, five requirements were proposed: 1) ensure that "top leaders" take charge of investment promotion, with municipal party and government leaders leading outbound investment trips at least four times annually; 2) strengthen coordination and integration in investment promotion, with the Department of Commerce of Guangdong Province taking the lead in establishing a province-wide mechanism for domestic and foreign investment attraction; 3) implement the principle that "industry management must include investment promotion," with industry chain-leading departments planning industrial investment initiatives; 4) solidify the responsibility for investment promotion, with each city compiling a list of investment project demands; 5) consolidate various investment promotion forces, encouraging the return of Guangdong entrepreneurs and optimizing the global investment network.

Regarding innovative models, the "Work Plan" emphasizes eights measures: 1) deepen industrial chain investment promotion, focus on leading enterprises, major end-product projects, and business-driven investments; 2) build a strong brand for investment promotion by hosting two major branded events; 3) enhance exhibition-based investment promotion and leverage platforms such as the Canton Fair; 4) optimize fund-based investment promotion through activities like "Invest in Guangdong, Attract to Guangdong"; 5) advance scenario-based investment promotion by attracting landmark projects through application and consumption scenarios; 6) improve county-level investment promotion by mapping out industrial chain investment strategies; 7) explore big data-driven investment promotion by optimizing the "Invest Guangdong" platform; 8) promote compliant and orderly investment promotion to prevent rat-race competition.

The "Work Plan" also requires effective scheduling of key projects, addressing challenges related to land, funding, and environmental protection, and improving the efficiency of the entire investment promotion chain from "intention to signing, landing, and production".
