The deep and long-standing open foundation of Huangpu has laid a solid foundation for the construction of the "Import Demonstration Zone". Huangpu is the birthplace of Shanghai style culture and national industry, witnessing the transformation and prosperity of Shanghai over 700 years since its establishment. For a long time, Huangpu has always been at the forefront of opening up to the outside world, vigorously promoting the spirit of daring to explore and try, daring to be the first in the world, seizing the opportunity of the country's expansion of opening up strategy, continuously creating an open and inclusive development environment, continuously deepening economic and social opening-up, accelerating the gathering of high-level foreign-funded enterprises and international talents, and continuously increasing the number of international residents and domestic and foreign tourists. It has initially reached the level of social openness in the central urban area of an international metropolis with world influence, and openness has become one of the most distinctive characteristics of Huangpu.

The highly outward oriented economic characteristics of Huangpu have created favorable conditions for the "import demonstration zone" to take the lead. Huangpu, as the core area of the central urban area of an international metropolis with headquarters economy, building economy, and foreign-related economy, has always ranked among the top in terms of economic volume and density in the city. For many years, Huangpu has adhered to benchmarking against the highest international standards and the best level, making every effort to create a market-oriented, rule of law, and internationalized first-class business environment. The development trend of the outward oriented economy is good, and the development efficiency has been improving year by year. It has become an important carrier area for attracting foreign investment in the city. At present, more than 60 countries and regions have invested and established businesses in Huangpu, with foreign investment contributing nearly half of the region. This economic characteristic is highly compatible with the development positioning of the "import demonstration zone", which is conducive to accelerating the formation of a new pattern of import trade promotion and innovation demonstration with "headquarters function carrying, consumer supply leading, and service integration innovation".

The development strategy of prioritizing innovation in Huangpu provides strong support for the strengthening of the functions of the "import demonstration zone".

Huangpu has always adhered to innovation as the primary driving force for development, putting efforts into mechanism, service, and talent construction, continuously improving the convenience, looseness, and inclusiveness of innovation, enhancing the attractiveness of various innovation resources, and achieving innovation breakthroughs in many fields. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, Huangpu will continue to adhere to the core position of innovation in the overall economic and social development, and continue to explore in-depth in areas such as the national unified market and the integration of domestic and foreign trade. We will study and propose more effective measures to promote the improvement of quality and efficiency in commercial circulation, and strive to create a better innovation ecosystem.

In the process of promoting the construction of the "Import Demonstration Zone", Huangpu will focus on two major functional positioning: trade promotion and trade innovation, with high-energy entities as the foundation, high-quality consumption as the guide, and high standard services as the focus, fully leveraging the role of the "Import Demonstration Zone" in promoting imports, serving industries, enhancing consumption, and leading by demonstration.

Huangpu will be based in Shanghai and have a global perspective, with a high positioning and systematic planning.

We will make every effort to promote the integration of trade and investment, enhance the localization operation capabilities of multinational corporations, do a good job in incubation and cultivation, and share new opportunities for large markets and industrial upgrading.

Huangpu will actively explore and innovate, and take multiple measures to improve its radiation level. Integrate the strategy of expanding domestic demand with the strategy of innovation driven development, efficiently gather global innovation factors, and match global supply and demand. Efforts should be made to strengthen the collaborative linkage between the "Import Demonstration Zone" and the CIIE, and actively create an important platform for the CIIE to transform exhibitors into investors and exhibits into commodities. Strengthen regional linkage and resource coordination in import trade, deepen open cooperation in industrial and supply chains, and focus on improving their resilience and security level. Actively promote the integration and innovative development of various fields, accelerate the exploration of effective paths to improve the level of digital and green trade, achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality, and play the strongest voice of "central radiation".
