In the first half of 2020 the Haimen Economic and Technological Development Zone in Nantong drew in a raft of investments. Twelve major mega-projects were signed with a total investment of more than 50 billion yuan ($7.15 billion) and five have already started construction.

The zone has focused on major mega-projects this year and customized investment plans to highlight the industries of semiconductor materials, new displays and printed circuit boards.

Great breakthroughs were made in the first two quarters as five major mega-industrial projects were launched and eleven other projects worth a total of over 100 million yuan. Eighteen earlier projects were also completed.

In the rest of the year, the zone will continue to attract investments in industrial chains of the luxury cruise manufacturing industry, new information technology and modern architecture to achieve its 2020 goal of 30 major mega-projects.
