Two development zones, a defined industrial framework, and a process that is shorter than most investors expect.
Where projects land
Benxi runs two main industrial platforms:
- Qiaobei (桥北) development zone — steel deep processing, automotive and equipment components.
- Wunüshan (五女山) development zone — health, pharmaceuticals and traditional medicine.
Both operate under a reformed management structure intended to shorten approval chains; the city describes the zones as its “core window” for opening up.
How a project moves
- Pre-review. The responsible industry bureau reviews the project against zone positioning before it is admitted.
- First contact officer. Each project is assigned one named contact who owns the file.
- Landing. Land, utilities and environmental permits handled through the zone.
- Follow-through. Progress is tracked against agreed milestones.
What to bring
A short project brief, intended product and volume, land and utility requirements, and any environmental constraints. Investors without a Chinese entity usually begin with a local partner or an advisory firm.
This page describes the published process. It is not an offer or a commitment by any authority. For current policy terms, contact the relevant zone directly.
