The Changsha Economic and Technological Development Zone block of Hunan Pilot Free Trade Zone Changsha Area issued 100 preferential policies for enterprises on September 18, 2021, on the occasion of the first anniversary of its construction.
The Hunan Pilot Free Trade Zone was established one year ago. Since then, the Changsha Economic and Technological Development Zone block has taken the lead in the province to issue a package of policies on talents, science and technology, industry, finance, digital economy and headquarters economy. A comprehensive, multi-level and competitive policy system has been formed. This is in accordance with the reform path of “institutional empowerment, policy authorization and service internationalization”.
The 100-article “policy package” involves eight aspects, such as improving the efficiency of administrative examination and approval services, promoting venture capital investment and trade, advancing sci-tech innovation and industrial development, strengthening intellectual property protection and services, supporting talent agglomeration development, facilitating tax services, improving financial services, and strengthening the guarantee of key elements.
These policies almost cover the whole life cycle of enterprise production and operation. For example, in the field of engineering construction, there are more convenience services for construction permit applications, including zero service fees, and offering free agency services to industrial projects in the whole process of obtaining project construction approval.
One-stop intellectual property services are available for enterprises. The Intellectual Property Service Center of Hunan Pilot Free Trade Zone has been established. Twenty-seven intellectual property public service items can be handled without leaving the zone.
