(Reporter: Xiong Donghua, Correspondent: Zhao Tianjun)On March 9th, over 20 business bidding commissioners made speeches at Yichang’s Stationary Point in The Pearl River Delta Business Bidding Meeting one by one, trying to attract investment to Yichang.

　　This year, Yichang will focus on industry investment in a pattern of “5 +N”, which attaches great importance to developing the five key areas including the new materials, biomedicine, high-end equipment industry, new generation of information technology, environmental protection, energy conservation and new energy. Meanwhile, it is making efforts to make breakthroughs in some strategic industries such as service industry which features its finance and logistics, military industry, civil industry, tourism industry and health care. Aiming at top 500 companies of China, the top 500 private enterprises of China and SOEs (state-owned- enterprises), Yichang manages to attract cluster investment to build up new industrial chains and to supplement, expand and strengthen the old chains.

　　The Pearl River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area and the Yangtze River Delta have clustered a bountiful of enterprises capable of making investment in other places. In such a context, the business bidding commission of Yichang chose to take these three places as bases and send a group of personnel to carry out long-term resident business biddings to invite projects of high-tech industries for transfer, thus helping Yichang to occupy the commanding heights for development and speed up its steps of industrial transformation and upgrading by adopting the new leading projects as the focal points.
