Shenzhen, a southern Chinese coastal city and high-tech hub, saw 315 projects with a total investment of 879 billion yuan (about 126.31 billion U.S. dollars) inked at a conference on December 9, as the metropolis strives to boost global investor confidence in its future development.
The 2022 Shenzhen Global Investment Promotion Conference featured a series of activities, including 12 regional investment promotion conferences and a number of overseas parallel sessions and industrial investment promotion activities. Branch venues have been established in 16 cities on five continents.

From 2019 to 2021, the Shenzhen Global Investment Promotion Conference signed more than 600 projects, involving over 2 trillion yuan of intended investment.
