In early autumn, the land of Lingnan is lush with flowers and leaves, and the sky is clear and clear by the Shenzhen Bay.
Shenzhen, a fertile land of innovation, has been rated as the best reputation city for business environment by the All China Federation of Industry and Commerce for three consecutive years. Here, vitality and energy surge everywhere, rising with hope and dreams.

There is only a better business environment, not the best. With firm footsteps and resounding footsteps, Shenzhen actively creates a stable, fair, transparent, and predictable international first-class business environment, promoting high-quality economic development.
Optimizing services to stimulate market vitality
As the mechanical system automatically lifts, the fork slowly rises and accurately places the goods on the 5.8 meter high shelf. In the laboratory of Future Robotics Co., Ltd. located in the Shenzhen Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone in Hetao, several unmanned forklifts are operating simultaneously, and a forward moving unmanned forklift with a maximum lifting height of 7 meters is particularly eye-catching.
When it comes to this laboratory, the CEO of the company, Li Luyang, said, "It's only a 10 minute walk from the company's office. Being able to work and develop products in such a great place cannot do without government assistance!"
"We understand enterprises, technology, and research and development very well. When it comes to government services to enterprises, Li Luyang praised them repeatedly." The government not only helps us find office addresses, but also provides us with rental subsidies. After the company moved to the Hetao Shenzhen Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone, the number of employees increased fivefold, and the company's valuation continued to rise. "
Not far from Future Robotics Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Jingtai Technology Co., Ltd., a unicorn enterprise in the fields of life sciences and new materials, is also located in the Hetao Shenzhen Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone.
As a research and development platform enterprise driven by artificial intelligence and robots, Jingtai Technology ultimately chose to place its experimental and computational research and development center with a total area of 12000 square meters in Shenzhen. "A first-class business environment is the most shining golden signboard of Shenzhen. We are a company that eats' innovative rice ', and Shenzhen's good talent reserves, industrial ecology, innovation atmosphere and policies are the main reasons that attract us," said Ma Jian, CEO of Jingtai Technology.
In order to create a market-oriented and first-class business environment, in recent years, Shenzhen has issued policy documents such as 23 measures to promote high-quality development of enterprises and 33 measures to support high-quality development of individual businesses, with greater efforts to stimulate the vitality of business entities.
In the first seven months of this year, Shenzhen added 330000 new commercial entities, a year-on-year increase of 27%. The Shenzhen credit service platform has enabled enterprises to obtain financing exceeding 100 billion yuan, of which 88% are inclusive small and micro loans.
The relevant person in charge of the Office of the Shenzhen Municipal Administration for Market Regulation stated that in the first half of this year, Shenzhen issued a total of 12 intellectual property securitization products with a scale of nearly 2.9 billion yuan, continuously leading the country. Next, we will continue to actively implement various tasks of the national unified market construction and promote the development and growth of the private economy, and promote the detailed implementation of key measures such as market access, fair competition, and social credit.
Ensuring high-quality development through high-quality rule of law
Entering the Shenzhen International Arbitration Court, lotus patterns symbolizing fairness, harmony, and win-win can be seen everywhere.
Without the expected tension and stubbornness of opinions, under the auspices of the arbitrator, both parties cleared up their grievances, shook hands, and made peace, expressing their willingness to continue working together in the international market. Such scenes are almost performed every day in the arbitration tribunal of the Shenzhen International Arbitration Court.
The Shenzhen International Arbitration Court has become a "golden business card" of Shenzhen's legal business environment. Among the current 1547 arbitrators of the Shenzhen International Arbitration Court, 569 are from overseas, accounting for 36.78%, covering 114 countries and regions; In 2022, the total amount of disputes in arbitration cases reached 127.2 billion yuan, ranking first in Asia and among the top three in the world.

"The Shenzhen International Arbitration Court is a pioneer and practitioner of international arbitration in China. Based on the new stage of development, we will always adhere to the concepts of independence, fairness, and innovation, accelerate the high-quality development of international arbitration, and promote the construction of a rule of law business environment in Shenzhen," said Liu Xiaochun, President of the Shenzhen International Arbitration Court.
As the first batch of national demonstration areas for the construction of a rule of law government, Shenzhen has based itself on reality and scientific legislation, and has issued a series of pioneering regulations such as the "Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Intelligent Connected Vehicle Management Regulations" and the "Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Data Regulations". It has taken the lead in establishing a personal bankruptcy system nationwide, closely integrating the construction of the rule of law with the business environment, and accelerating the construction of a socialist rule of law leading demonstration city with Chinese characteristics.
"The rule of law business environment in Shenzhen has always been very good, and the measures introduced are very targeted." Xiong Wei, Dean of the Law School of Shenzhen University, said that taking the recent "Several Measures to Promote the Growth, Optimization, and Strength of the Private Economy" released by Shenzhen as an example, focusing on the common issues of the development of Shenzhen's private enterprises, 20 "practical measures" are proposed from the aspects of major project construction, stimulating technological innovation vitality, opening up application scenarios, and expanding overseas markets, to optimize the development environment of the private economy and ensure high-quality development through high-quality rule of law.
Huang Yaying, Chief Legislative Advisory Expert of the Standing Committee of the Shenzhen Municipal People's Congress and Director of the Shenzhen University Special Economic Zone Legislative Research Center, stated that Shenzhen is a promoter and beneficiary of a rule of law based business environment. To continue maintaining the attractiveness and competitiveness of the business environment, Shenzhen must further strengthen the legal construction of the business environment, truly making the rule of law the best business environment.

We have invested a total of 8 billion yuan in China, of which more than 2.5 billion yuan has been invested in Shenzhen. In the future, we will continue to develop together with Shenzhen."
Establishing a new mechanism for intellectual property protection in emerging fields, implementing a comprehensive management mechanism for the entire chain of the Big Science Plan, launching innovative mechanisms for identifying foreign talents and one-stop services for work and residence, and innovating convenient international transit customs clearance models at ports... A series of reform and innovation measures have helped Shenzhen actively integrate into the global innovation network and accelerate the construction of an international science and technology innovation center in the Greater Bay Area.
