Created 20 years ago with the approval of the Chinese central government, Tianjin Economic-technological Development Area (TEDA) is one of the first state-level coastal development areas opening to the outside world.

A Successful State-Level Development Area in China

Since year 1997, the Ministry of Commerce, the previous Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation (MOFTEC), has been evaluating each year state-level development areas from the following six perspectives: overall economic strength, infrastructure, operating cost, human resources support, environment and technological innovations. The results of these evaluations indicate that these main economic indicators of TEDA of the past few years remain the highest among those of the other 48 development areas of its kind in the country. TEDA has now become North China's center of processing and manufacturing industries and a base for commercializing high-tech achievements.

Recommended Economic Area in China

Comparing with other areas of processing and manufacturing industries around the world, TEDA identified mainly by its dynamic economy, outstanding investment environment, convenient transportation network, sophisticated utilities and talents pool. These features are very attractive to foreign investors and make TEDA the most welcomed business location in China.

For example, in terms of the transportation network, TEDA can be easily accessed from other major cities by highways and railroads. Moreover, the largest cargo airport in China, Tianjin International Airport is close to TEDA. As the largest international trading port of north China and the major outlet for the western part of the country, Tianjin New Port is served by more than 300 ports in 70 countries all over the world.
