In one of the projects, CCB Investment, one of the five financial asset investment companies in China, signed to found an energy fund in Luohu with China General Nuclear Power Group, specifically focusing on investment in upstream and downstream projects related to CGN’s nuclear industry and nuclear power business.
In another project, Chinese private aerospace company LandSpace will set up an aerospace operations center in Luohu, aiming to provide high-cost-performance and high-reliability space transportation services to the global market.
To better attract investments, the district government introduced the “Luohu Entrepreneur Rights Treasure Box” on the city’s special day for entrepreneurs on November 1st.
