Government support:
In 2003, the government of Zhejiang Province decided to capitalize on the geo-economic advantages of Hangzhou Bay Area and develop it into a manufacturing powerhouse. The Hangzhou Bay Area is to be an active participant in the international division of labor and global industrial restructuring. Shangyu occupies a large part of the south bank of Hangzhou Bay . With the strong reinforcement from government, a large-scale modernized industrial area will come into being along the riverside in the years to come.
Target:
Shangyu New Industrial Zone is planned to be a high-tech industry hub, a regional logistic center, and an important port.
