The Bao' an “Worry-Free Space,” a flagship initiative supporting innovation and entrepreneurship, has recently entered a new phase of expansion, adding six premier industrial parks to its ecosystem.

The Huawei Cloud Embodied AI Industrial Innovation Center — China' s first joint innovation center dedicated to the embodied intelligence industry — was officially launched in Bao' an District recently.

BAO’AN District has designated Uniwalk Qianhai as its first instant tax refund site for overseas visitors, marking a significant step in Shenzhen’s push to become an international consumption hub and enhance institutional openness.

A group of international visitors embarked on a cycling tour along the Xiwan-Qianhai Bay section of the Shenzhen Mountain-Sea Vistas route on the morning of June 8, followed by an inspection of the district’s efforts to advance internationalization.

Sweden-based furniture and home goods giant IKEA will open its new store in Bao’an District’s Maxland shopping mall on June 19, marking the company’s third store in Shenzhen.

The closing ceremony of the 15th National Games will take place at the Happy Theater in Bao’an District on Nov. 21.

During the May Day holiday, Bao’an District witnessed consumer activity surge. Eight major commercial hubs in the district attracted over 3.36 million visitors, a year-on-year increase of nearly 60%, according to the Bao’an District Commerce Bureau.

Bao'an District announced plans on April 10 to become a national leader in fostering innovation. The district aims to achieve this by creating extensive opportunities for new technologies and products to be tested and implemented in real-world settings, a concept officials describe as becoming a “benchmark district with fully open application scenarios.”
