On the afternoon of June 6th, I participated in another signing ceremony, one between the Huzhou Economic Development zone (HED) and the NYS SBDC. Here is a summary phrase from the agreement, "in order to promote the two places in the economic field of multi-level, multi-form and all-round exchanges and cooperation comprehensively, and strive to complement each other, sharing resources through friendly consultations..." Basically, the NYS SBDC and HED agreed to work together to create business and trade opportunities for New York companies in the zone.
During the meeting, we met the leaders of Houzhou people's government and learned about the environment of the HED. The ceremony and official picture concluded a meeting with officials from the Huzhou Economic Development zone - Mr. Liushun Yang, the Director of HED, Mr. Hulin Sun, the Director of the Office of Overseas Chinese Affairs, Mr. Younliang Zhou, the Vice Director of HED, and Mr. Suofang Zhu, another Vice Director of HED.
After the meeting, we drove to Xi Nan, a subzone of HED near Taihu Lake, to visit the site of a new high technology innovation centre. The HED officials enthusiastically related their plans for the site and their progress toward completion. It will be interesting to see if they can achieve their goals within the timeline they've set.
