Established in 1992 and upgraded to a national-level development zone in 2011, XETDZ covers an administrative area of 125 km2 and administers two sub-districts: Yunlin and Houqiao. Over the years, XETDZ has evolved into a vibrant new sci-tech and business city, home to 15,000 enterprises, including 1,160 foreign-invested enterprises with investors from more than 30 countries and regions—over 30 German companies, boasting a total registered contractual foreign capital of USD 6.7 billion and paid-in foreign capital of USD 3.5 billion.
XETDZ has actively cultivated a business-friendly ecosystem that caters to the needs of European and German investors. The zone has made significant efforts to attract German and European enterprises, particularly in advanced manufacturing, automotive parts, and precision machinery sectors. It has established partnerships with international industrial clusters, such as the German Advanced Materials Cluster and the European Lightweight Industry Cluster Alliance, to promote technology exchange and industrial collaboration.
XETDZ is committed to providing seamless communication services for foreign investors. It offers English and German language support in its daily operations, with a dedicated bilingual service team to assist international enterprises. The team includes professionals with proficiency in English and German. These experts are responsible for coordinating with German and European enterprises, facilitating communication between investors and government departments, and ensuring that foreign investors can conduct business smoothly in XETDZ.
To streamline the investment process, XETDZ provides a full range of agency services for foreign-invested projects. It can establish a dedicated project coordination working group to handle all procedures related to investment approval, environmental assessment, energy conservation evaluation, and project construction. The working group consists of professionals from various government departments, who work closely with enterprises to ensure efficient and transparent handling of all formalities. This "one-stop" service approach significantly reduces the time and effort required for enterprises to set up operations in XETDZ.
XETDZ has a strong capability to connect foreign enterprises with local industrial resources. It actively organizes matchmaking events between foreign investors and local leading customers, helping them integrate into the local supply chain. The zone has established a mature mechanism to assist foreign enterprises in obtaining real orders and accessing product testing and application scenarios. For example, it has facilitated partnerships between German automotive component suppliers and local automobile manufacturers, enabling them to secure long-term supply contracts. Van de Velde Group, through the zone's support, has successfully expanded its customer base in China and established close cooperation with local textile enterprises.
With its strategic location, robust industrial ecosystem, comprehensive support services, and preferential policies, XETDZ is an ideal destination for German and European enterprises looking to invest in China. It offers a favorable business environment that combines global connectivity with local industrial advantages, enabling foreign enterprises to thrive and achieve sustainable development.
