Presided over by Yuan Jian.
The 20 major projects signed in this centralized signing ceremony span sectors such as new materials, pan-semiconductors, biopharmaceuticals, intelligent equipment, modern textiles, cultural tourism, and headquarters platforms.
In terms of investment scale, there are three projects with investments exceeding 10 billion yuan. Among them, the Baowu Carbon carbon fiber project is a major civil-military integration initiative in the strategic new materials sector, aimed at import substitution. The Tiansheng Green Energy + Modern Textile Integrated Construction Project aligns with the carbon peak and carbon neutrality strategy, serving as a significant industrial initiative for energy substitution and a flagship project for Keqiao’s ambition to build a world-class modern textile industry cluster. The Huachang Copper Mine-themed Cultural Tourism Complex Project is another major cultural-tourism integration project following the Zhongnan Lanting Kuanggu Tourism Complex, representing a high-end, distinctive wellness project in Keqiao’s push for integrated development in the Yangtze River Delta.
From an investment perspective, projects like Sage Medical and Changding Optical Protective Films represent emerging industries such as biopharmaceuticals, pan-semiconductors, and new materials. These are central to Keqiao’s efforts to cultivate "1+3" pillar industries and build a "Strong District of Intelligent Manufacturing."
Signing Ceremony
It is worth noting that the majority of the 20 major projects signed in this centralized signing ceremony are part of the "Return to Shaoxing" initiative.
The "Return to Shaoxing" initiative was launched to leverage the connections and resources of Shaoxing-native enterprises and talents. By fostering bonds of kinship, hometown ties, and friendship, the program aims to attract outstanding entrepreneurs and professionals originally from Shaoxing to return, innovate, and contribute to their hometown. The initiative focuses on promoting the "six returns"—headquarters, industries, technology, talent, information, and emotional ties—to fully support the development of a modern "International Textile Capital and Hangzhou-Shaoxing Star City."

Speech by the Representative of the Project Signing Parties
Chen Hao stated in his address that major projects are the key driver of high-quality economic development.
The District Party Committee and District Government will further strengthen the sense of urgency, the spirit of perseverance, and a proactive approach. They will improve the mechanisms for "attracting investment and talent," systematically reform investment policies, and vigorously advance specialized, stationed, overseas, and business-referral investment efforts. The goal is to promote high-quality economic growth through high-caliber investment selection. All departments must deepen the "Three Services" initiative—focusing entirely on projects, working relentlessly for projects, and providing integrated, end-to-end support—acting as dedicated "service stewards" for projects and enterprises.
The entire district must firmly embrace the principle that "everyone represents the business environment, and every detail matters." By taking initiative and starting with small steps, we will unite in purpose and effort to jointly build the province’s most business-friendly environment. We hope that fellow乡亲 and entrepreneurs will continue to care for and support Keqiao, actively championing the "Return to Shaoxing" initiative and promoting the city brand of "Old Shaoxing · Golden Keqiao." Together, let us contribute even more to Shaoxing’s vision of building a high-level networked metropolis and achieving common prosperity in the new era.
