On the afternoon of March 20, the “Smart Huibuhe, Jingcai Win-Win” — Hefei Huibuhe (Beijing) Cultural and Technology Enterprise Forum was held in Beijing. The event aimed to deepen exchanges and cooperation with cultural and technology companies in Beijing, promote more high-quality projects and innovative elements to settle in Huibuhe, and share new development opportunities.

The forum was jointly organized by the Huibuhe District Committee and District Government, Ziyunshan (Huibuhe) Cultural and Creative Industry Park Management Committee, Zhongguancun Collaborative Development Investment Co., Ltd., Keda Silicon Valley Service Platform (Anhui) Co., Ltd., Hefei Market Scene Application Innovation Promotion Center Co., Ltd., and other organizations. It attracted over 50 cultural and technology companies.

At the event, several high-quality cultural and tech projects reached cooperation agreements. Keda Silicon Valley and Market Scene companies delivered policy briefings, Industrial Bank introduced sci-tech financial products, and Huibuhe District’s investment environment was prominently promoted.

“Our company’s signing this time involves investing in the Zhongke Zhiyue headquarters base project in Huibuhe District,” said Zhu Kewei, General Manager of Beijing Zhongke Zhiyue Holding Co., Ltd. Zhu noted that with the Purple Cloud Mountain (Huibuhe) Cultural and Creative Industry Park, Huibuhe District has a deep foundation in culture and technology industries, gathering numerous upstream and downstream resources in the industry chain. This was a key reason for the company’s decision to relocate its headquarters there.

“Many companies from Huibuhe are expanding overseas. We are committed to providing professional services for these companies’ international ventures, and there is broad room for cooperation,” said Fan Fuchun, Co-founder and COO of Duodian Online Technology Co., Ltd., which currently has China’s leading overseas influencer marketing data platform. Fan explained that Huibuhe actively helps companies identify cooperation opportunities and relevant policies, and the company is also interested in establishing related projects in Huibuhe to help more brands from Huibuhe, Hefei, and even Anhui go global.

“Our business in Huibuhe has been progressing smoothly,” said Xie Xiaoqi, General Manager of Zhongguancun Pushi (Beijing) Medical Equipment Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. He added that whether it’s market development, business environment, or financial support from local government, the company is very satisfied. “This event has provided us with a good platform for communication and cooperation. We will also actively recommend more enterprises to settle in Huibuhe.”

As Anhui’s “First District,” Huibuhe District’s regional GDP is expected to surpass 200.4 billion yuan by 2025. It will become the province’s first “two-trillion-yuan” district, ranking 35th among the top 100 districts nationwide. Its cultural industry competitiveness ranks 13th nationwide among the top 100 districts, and its technological innovation district ranks first in the province and 21st nationwide. The Purple Cloud Mountain (Huibuhe) Cultural and Creative Industry Park will be built to high standards, with the cultural industry scale expected to exceed 65 billion yuan by 2025.

Currently, Huibuhe District hosts over 70 industrial platforms such as Zhongguancun Collaborative Innovation Zhihui Park, China Vision, Wenhui Park, and Wenhui Garden, providing a broad stage for project implementation and enterprise growth. The district also implements a “no-application, immediate-enjoyment” industrial policy coverage, with 300 million yuan in enterprise-benefit funds allocated by 2025, and government-backed financing guarantee rates maintained below 0.5%. The district offers full lifecycle support to enterprises with service standards akin to “Gold Medal Shop Assistants.”
