Ordos boosts foreign investment with 'Five-Heart' business strategy

Ordos city is strengthening its position as a high-quality inland investment hub by utilizing the "Warm City Five-Heart" business environment brand.

Following the implementation of the 2025 Catalogue of Encouraged Foreign Investment Industries, the city has rolled out a series of initiatives to ensure that policy incentives move from paper to practice, demonstrating its commitment to attracting, securing, and stabilizing foreign investment.

To better guide investors, Ordos has conducted targeted research in high-end manufacturing, green and low-carbon industries, and modern services, providing companies with clear roadmaps and on-site policy support.

"As soon as the new catalogue was released, officials came directly to our company to explain the available incentives for expansion, which strengthened our confidence in continuing to invest in Ordos," said a long-term foreign investor.

Ordos has also deepened government-business collaboration through cross-departmental roundtable meetings, enabling real-time feedback on operational and regulatory challenges.

Regular on-site services further ensure that businesses receive timely support on labor, energy, logistics, and market access, providing a "reassuring and seamless" operating experience.

Looking ahead, Ordos is further opening its market and strengthening fair competition for foreign investors. Current policies guarantee equal treatment in green consumption and trade-in programs, while encouraging foreign participation in R&D, joint ventures, and mergers in strategic emerging sectors and industrial upgrades.

The city continues to refine its foreign investment guidelines for priority areas, including clean energy, modern coal chemicals, new energy, equipment manufacturing, and modern services.
