The 2024 "Invest in Wuhan" Global Investment Promotion and First-Quarter Investment Promotion Project Signing Conference opened on March 27, in which the East Lake High-tech Development Zone (also known as Optics Valley of China, or OVC) inked six project agreements, involving a total investment of 29.7 billion yuan ($4.19 billion), ranking first in Wuhan.

Since the beginning of the year, OVC has focused on 11 key manufacturing industrial chains, modern service industries, commercial trade, and other directions, comprehensively carrying out five investment promotion activities based on its advantages in industrial chains, capital, application scenarios, talent and innovation, and industrial ecosystems.

The valley has formed a large investment promotion team consisting of 30 investment promotion groups and 138 full-time investment promotion personnel. They have conducted investment attraction activities 63 times in the Yangtze River Delta, the Guangdong-Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, and other places, hosting 27 investment promotion meetings and 13 weekly signing ceremonies.

A total of 14 industrial chain chiefs have been appointed, including CICT, HGTECH, Lenovo, TCL, and others as investment promotion ambassadors of the valley, outlining target lists for industrial chains such as storage, display, optical communication, laser, and medical equipment.
