During the 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-2010), the zone witnessed rapid development and a number of world-class multinationals invested there, enabling Chengdud to be an influential city in the global electronic information industry.

The added value of the electronic information was 19 billion yuan ($2.9 billion), an increase of 8.6 folds over the figure for the 10th Five-Year Plan (2000-2005), Han said.

The zone, which has drawn more than 50 Fortune 500 firms, will continue to introduce major projects during the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015), he said.
