Statistics indicate to date, a total of 2,602 Taiwan companies have invested in Tianjin, with a combined investment value of $18.2 billion.
Wang Yi-wen, a Taiwan investor who runs her business in Baodi district, said: "I find great opportunities in the rural revitalization on the mainland, so I set up in the agricultural sector and cultural tourism."

"On the morning of the first day of the seminar, we have found up to 800 online requests to contact project owners," he said.
