INVEST@NETDA, your peace of mind
Nantong is a strategic industrial hub city, ranked among China’s Top 20 GDP players with a CAGR of 6% over the years. Nantong is reasonably close to Shanghai and highly accessible via air, land, water, and bullet train transport, as it is only a 1.5-hour drive up north of the Yangtze River.
Cooperation with Germany can be traced back to the late 19th century when Mr. Zhang Jian, a Confucian-educated scholar and a visionary entrepreneur & educator, reached out to Germany for Siemens’ modern plant and engineers to power his textile conglomerate, thus initiated a century-old heritage of local education and earning his hometown Nantong the reputation of a Pioneering City in modern China.
NETDA is ranked by Ministry of Commerce at 21st place out of almost 300 peers nationwide. NETDA has been industrialized and urbanized over the past four decades. With 2.1% of land and 4% of population of Nantong, NETDA contributes roughly 7.8% of the city’s GDP, 10% of tax revenues, and 35% of FDI.
Its industrial clusters span across Life Science & Healthcare, ICT manufacture & services, Advanced Materials & Chemistry, Precision Fabrication, Services Industry, etc. Global investors have put in more than USD 30 billion in over 900 manufacturing or R&D facilities.
NETDA is now planning German Industry Cluster in partnership with AHK, while German-speaking countries continue to drive a thriving German community for years now, including Merck, Bayer, BioNTech, Freudenberg, LANXESS, Symrise, Saria, METRO, Autoliv, Syngenta, Givaudan, TE Connectors, Hirschmann Automotive, Siegfried, etc.
NETDA is truly a preferred partner for German businesses in the Greater Shanghai area, with the right mix of resources and benefits, including:
- A vibrant economy to sell in and source from, with good synergy because a good chunk of China GDP is within 200km radius.
- A 40-year track record to promote and facilitate trade & investment, with a complete lineup of shovel-ready industrial land, ready-to-use workshops, relevant utilities and amenities for a plug-and-play solution at roughly 15% lower cost vs. Suzhou, Shanghai etc.
- A century-old education heritage since the late Qing Dynasty resulting in better educated and adaptive workforce of 5.4 million, with 6 universities and 44 vocational colleges.
- A pleasant place to work, live and play, with InterContinental/Marriot hotels, Sam’s Club/METRO membership stores, international schools, concert houses, museums and other lifestyle amenities.
- A negotiable incentives package, including capital equipment rebate, workshop retrofit subsidy, R&D subsidy etc., tailored to each business case.
- A single window of contact for clients, with NETDA’s designated German/English bilingual ONE TEAM task force to ensure turn-key delivery of project documentation and regulatory permitting, such as FS, EIA, Energy Review, Zoning & Construction Permit, etc. under one roof of NETDA authorities.
