The meeting stressed the importance of taking a broader perspective and aiming for higher standards, while strengthening the sense of responsibility and urgency in advancing investment promotion.
From a political standpoint, investment promotion is a responsibility that must be firmly shouldered.
From the perspective of the international environment, it presents a rare window of opportunity.
From the standpoint of local development, it is the foundation for the district's growth and sustainability.
From a competitive perspective, it is a critical move to break through bottlenecks and gain the upper hand.
Efforts should be made to take the lead, shoulder responsibilities, and make greater contributions to Guangzhou's citywide "trillion-yuan investment promotion" initiative.

The meeting highlighted the need for meticulous planning and innovative approaches, calling for a yearlong, all-staff investment promotion campaign. It proposed building two multidimensional investment promotion systems: one combining "government departments + towns/streets + industrial parks," and the other integrating "state-owned enterprises + platforms + funds," in order to accelerate and improve the quality of investment promotion work. 

Priority should be given to leading enterprises, with industrial chain coordinators taking primary responsibility, identifying targets based on industrial chain maps, and developing tailored investment service plans.
Attention should be paid to existing resources by fully assessing the current base of above-designated-size industrial enterprises, foreign-invested enterprises, and high-value-added producer services, so as to generate effective leads for investment attraction and capacity expansion.
Efforts should be made to enhance conversion by leveraging high-level innovation platforms such as Guangzhou Laboratory and the National Technology Innovation Center for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, as well as the reform and innovation advantages of national-level platforms including economic and technological development zones, high-tech industrial development zones, and comprehensive bonded zones.
Opportunities arising from industrial upgrading should be seized by identifying the convergence of technological breakthroughs, market expansion, and supply chain restructuring, enabling precise and timely action.
Greater emphasis should be placed on planning and promotion, including branding activities under "Invest in Huangpu," organizing industrial ecosystem partner engagement events, and leveraging major national exhibitions such as the Canton Fair and high-level platforms like the Guangzhou International Investment Conference to proactively organize investment promotion and site visit activities — shifting from a passive to a proactive approach.

The meeting underscored the need for systematic coordination and stronger support measures, focusing on addressing weaknesses, improving services, and advancing large-scale, high-quality investment attraction to ensure that quality projects can be introduced, implemented, and developed successfully.
Efforts should be made to strengthen factor support, ensuring stable, cost-effective supply of traditional resources such as industrial space, water, electricity, and steam, while expanding computing power services and opening up application scenarios to support new-type factors such as computing capacity, use cases, and data.
Professional capabilities should be improved by building a multidisciplinary investment promotion team with expertise in industries, enterprises, and projects.
Work style and governance should be strengthened by establishing mechanisms for coordinated advancement, parallel processing, and closed-loop services for major investment projects, strengthening performance evaluation to encourage benchmarking and healthy competition, improving incentives to foster accountability, and stimulating organic momentum for investment promotion across the district.
