Chongchuan district in Nantong, East China's Jiangsu province recently held an investment promotional event in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, local media reported.

This move is one of the efforts made by Chongchuan to attract more investment and talent from Xi'an and boost the high-tech industry in the district.

During the event, deals on four talent projects related to science and technology were signed.
