The conference announced 42 representative major investment projects. Spanning both domestic and foreign investment, these projects are concentrated in strategic industries such as semiconductors, advanced computing, new displays, new energy, high-end equipment, and new materials. The conference also launched the “Invest Guangdong · AI Application Model for Investment Promotion.” With authoritative data on industrial clusters, industrial parks, and policy resources across Guangdong’s 21 cities, the model can intelligently evaluate site selections, calculate investment costs, and facilitate industry chain collaboration based on project investment scale and specific sectors.

Investment Elite Cities were also announced at the conference: Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Huizhou, Shaoguan, Zhanjiang, Meizhou, Shanwei, and Zhaoqing. The list was based primarily on progress in implementing projects signed at the 2025 Investment Promotion Conference, taking into account metrics such as the total contracted investment, the pace of capital inflow, and each city’s contribution to investment across the province.

The “GBA Tour” investment inspections were organized for participating companies before and after the conference. The nine Pearl River Delta cities hosted complementary investment promotion activities, while a series of industry-specific events focused on sectors including biopharmaceuticals, advanced medical devices, and semiconductor optical communications. Conference preparations were also planned alongside year-round roadshows in China and overseas and economic and trade activities marking APEC’s “China Year.” Outreach activities in the United States, Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, and other locations reached a total of 2,256 key multinational companies, facilitating targeted connections between global resources and the GBA’s industrial ecosystem.

Alongside the investment opportunities actively presented by Chinese mainland cities, Hong Kong and Macao leveraged their distinctive positioning to share their approaches and initiatives for participating in GBA investment promotion cooperation.

This was the fifth consecutive year that Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao jointly hosted the conference. The first four conferences recorded a total of 539 attendances by Fortune Global 500 companies and secured 5,718 investment and trade cooperation projects totaling RMB 9.03 trillion. 91.1% of these investment projects are already under construction, with paid-in capital reaching RMB 2.6 trillion. A number of benchmark projects such as those by CNOOC and Shell, China Resources Microelectronics’ southern headquarters, ZF, and Siemens Healthineers have been established.
