Guiyang and Gui'an empower investment with digital intelligence

Attracting investment is a complex undertaking. Traditionally, it was often like finding a needle in a haystack – chasing leads, projects, and companies across the country with time-consuming, imprecise results.

In September 2023, Guiyang City and Gui'an New Area launched the "Zhaoshangyi" platform, reshaping the entire investment promotion process. Built on the DeepSeek large model, the platform integrates industry data and has introduced an intelligent recommendation system for industrial carriers, making it easier for investors to access comprehensive information on local industries and supporting facilities.

One standout application is in factory promotion. By leveraging digital archives and monitoring tools, the platform links factories with incoming projects through a unified code. This enables full lifecycle management from introduction and settlement to operation and exit, ensuring dynamic tracking, one-click matching between factory profiles and enterprise needs and significantly improving efficiency.

According to Wu Lei, deputy director of the Guiyang investment promotion bureau, the platform allows both officials and investors to benefit. The platform shifts away from inefficient manual methods, while providing investors with quick and convenient access to relevant opportunities.

The results speak for themselves: in the first half of 2025, Guiyang and Gui'an attracted 345 new industrial projects, with contracted investment totaling 100.59 billion yuan ($13.98 billion). Of these, 198 projects were industrial, accounting for 79 billion yuan in investment.
