With the responsible persons of Belgium 3Linternational and Hangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone signing on the agreement, another high-tech new energy project with an investment of 15 million dollars, and specializing in production of solar power monocrystalline silicon and IC monocrystalline silicon settles at Xiasha. On the just finished Zhejiang Investment & Trade Symposium, Hangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone got a total investment of 115 million dollars, and foreign investment contracts of 35 million dollars. Since the beginning of the year, Hangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone (hereinafter referred to as the development zone) made many actions and achieved lots of breakthroughs in investment attraction. On May 28, the development zone sent a delegation to go to Shanghai to attract investment for the first time, on which five investment intentions were reached involving a total investment amount of RMB 1.8 billion. On May 31, the development zone signed another 17 projects with 15 enterprises both at home and abroad, obtaining a total investment of 1 billion dollars, which laid a solid foundation for achieving the target of year on year growth of 20% of investment attraction. 

This year is a key year for the development zone to comprehensively implement the "three year plan", and it is also a year to make the leap from "building a development zone" to "building a city", from "developing along the river" to "developing across the river". Due to such realities as restriction by resource and adjustment of the state's relevant policy, the investment attraction work is faced up with unprecedented challenges. Being faced with a highly competitive situation, Mr. Chengmin Sheng, the party committee secretary and director of the administration committee of the development zone, believes, only by opening up minds, creating a "blue sea", and achieving a situation of "having what others do not have, and having better ones for what others also have", can we attract big investment, high-level investment. Investment attraction is a "lifeline", we must adhere to the strategy of driving by big projects, following the principle of "connecting with Shanghai in the north, attracting investment from Hong Kong and Macau in the East, focusing on Japan and Korea and expanding to the Europe and the US", and give more efforts to attracting the investment of "three top 500" enterprises with "the world top 500" at the center, ensuring a larger scale of investment and better quality of investment. 

To renovate the investment attraction platform and attach more efforts to attracting industry chain investment is a major measure to help the development zone change from the development pattern of quantity expansion to a pattern which is more concerned with improvement of quality. Investment attraction work of the development zone will be centered around investment attraction in the "one point, one strap and two blocks.  "One point" refers to Singapore Hangzhou Science and Technology Park; "one strap" refers to the pieces of commercial land along the river; and the "two blocks" refers to the central area of Xiasha new town and the development zone and Jiangdong part, and make more efforts to introduce high-end manufacturing industry and creative and service industry. 
　　
With Jiangdong park area as the base, the development zone actively introduces large investment projects of whole vehicle and equipment manufacturing; with leading enterprises as the backbone, introduce supporting enterprises and extend the industry chain, and integrate large projects in the electronic communication industry; introduce and incubate service outsourcing industry centering around Singapore Hangzhou Science & Technology Park; taking the opportunity of construction of the central area of the new city, attract such projects as headquarter economy and office building economy. To achieve the objectives of investment invitation work one by one, presently, rich fruits have been harvested on the several investment attraction platform. 
 
The development zone is a place where "land is as valuable as gold", therefore, we need to effectively conduct investment attraction for stock land to raise investment density and improve output efficiency. The development zone always adheres to the principle of "attracting foreign investment by resident enterprises in the development zone, attracting foreign investment by foreign enterprises, and promote such key enterprises as Matsusita, Toshiba, Fujitsu, Asahi Kasei and IFF to expand production by encouraging investment increase and joint venture on the stock land and factory building of existing enterprises. Besides, the development zone adheres to the principle of "attracting investment with no land" to attract investment with standard factory building, and attract some industrial projects with investment less than 10 million dollars. In the first half of the year, Electrolux, which is a world top 500, and Kagome, a soft-drink giant, all increased their investment in the development zone. 

Whether the investment attraction work can succeed, and whether the introduced projects are of high quality will directly influence the development rate of the development zone, and it will determine whether the development objectives of the development zone can be achieved. The Investment Attraction Bureau of the development zone should renovate their investment attraction system, and make much effort to strengthen their execution. Practice "investment attraction by all", promote investment increase by service, and further strengthen service by the investment increased. Strengthen "process control" by achieving dynamic control of the three links, namely, collection of investment attraction information, projects following up and service for projects construction. Give full play to the antenna effect of Beijing-stationed offices and Shanghai-stationed offices, further strengthen contact and communication with foreign institutions mediation agencies in China, and establish a social investment attraction network, and practice information index assessment system. With regard to the "three top 500", especially the world top 500 enterprises, to explore new investment invitation model as "investment attraction by mail" and " investment attraction by telephone" through service outsourcing. Moreover, the development zone is actively establishing a market-oriented investment attraction mechanism. 

At the same time, by sending investment attraction task groups to conduct door-to-door investment invitation, knocking-door investment invitation, assigning persons to be specially responsible for follow up of investment projects, strengthening coordination and pushing forward of large projects, giving priority to supply of such elements as land and capital, the development zone is actively introducing some big projects with high technology content, long industry chain, high relevance and driving force. For example, the recently introduced Tianyu Solar Power project is a new energy enterprise specializes in Research & Development and production of film solar battery. After the enterprises decided to settle in the development zone, all departments of the development zone made their best to provide convenience and timely coordinate and solve problems in each link, from such small problems as temporary water use in the construction site to the big ones as examination and approval of land certificate, so as to ensure the project can be put into production at an early date. The project is expected to be put into production by April of the next year. On May 31, the Huameihansheng software outsourcing project was signed. The management team of the company is composed all by returned students from the USA. In this January, directors of the investment attraction department of the development zone knocked open the door of the company, and held three rounds of negotiations with them in the following week.  The responsible person of the company said, he had surveyed lots of places before, the efficiency and service consciousness of the development zone and the talent reserve of the 14 universities in Xiasha persuade them to make the decision to invest in Xiasha in such a short time. Now, these young people graduating from Columbia University and University of California have moved into the development zone.
