Also helping is Chengdu Hi-Tech Zone, which in June organized more than 40 companies to carry out project promotions, business matching, and other activities in Spain, France and Russia - helping them to expand into international markets while enhancing the zone's international reputation.

As the international gateway to western China, Chengdu is recognized by the State Council as Southwest China's center of science, commerce and finance.
