Having received pairing assistance from Tianhe, Guangning has been promoting the development of four industries - agriculture and food processing, health tourism and leisure, the green energy and new-type energy storage and the circular economy and new materials - and has established two industrial clusters for bamboo and plastic recycling.

It is situated within a one-hour life circle of the Pearl River Delta and is regarded as an important node connecting the Pearl River Delta to Southwest China, boasting a strong geographical location. It is also renowned as being the hometown of bamboo, green jade and chefs.

At the marketing presentation, a strategic framework agreement was signed by Foshan's Shunde Shunrong Investment and Guangning's Guangdong Haipeng Bamboo Fiber New Material Technology.

In addition, eight key projects - including Sundart's intelligent assembly factory - were signed at the event. They involved a total investment of 1.97 billion yuan ($275.95 million) and covered the fields of advanced equipment manufacturing, new materials, as well as green energy and new-type energy storage, among others.
