Investors Are Kings and Projects Lifelines
On December 6th, 1984, the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (TEDA) was established as one of China’s earliest development zones. Since its early days, TEDA has come up with the philosophy of “Investors are kings and projects lifelines”. With tenacity and courage, TEDA has successfully attracted a galaxy of heavy-weight investors, thus shaping its unique competitiveness in investment promotion.

Business Environment Equivalent to Its Global Peers
Back in 1985, TEDA innovatively came up with the idea of “creating a business environment equivalent to our global peers” and put it into action immediately. To keep in line with global standard, TEDA adopted unified extra-high requirements for infrastructures by promising “Nine Availables and One Leveling” to investors. Specifically, “Nine Availables” means the readiness of road, water, drainage, electricity, steam, heating, gas, postal and telecommunications, and broadband networks, while leveling refers to the leveling of ground surface. Such high-standard infrastructures sufficiently ensured the construction, production and day-to-day operation of global investors. In 1992, Motorola and Master Kong decided to locate their plants in TEDA, followed by GM, Samsung, Panasonic, SEW and other global giants.

100-1=0
At the time when foreign investment kept pouring in, TEDA thought of something deeper based on the belief that sustainability always lies in exploration and rethinking. This time TEDA came to a formula: “100-1=0”. Aiming at a business environment approaching full marks, TEDA has been striving to avoid losing any point, no matter how minor it might be. At TEDA, we believe that perfection comes from pressure from within. As the amount of water a wood bucket can hold is determined by its shortest plank, TEDA believes that future leap-forwards come from day-to-day self-optimization.
