The spring is getting stronger, and the land of Longyuan is full of energy and steaming. On March 14, Gansu Electric Investment Changle Power Generation Co., Ltd. expanded the construction site of the 2×1,000 megawatt coal-fired unit project, and more than 3,800 construction workers are working in a intensive manner. At the welding site of the boiler heated surface of Unit 5 and 6, more than 800 workers were working hard to weld the boiler water-cooled wall pipes to catch up with the progress and seize the construction period for the project to start production within the year.

In September 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during his inspection in Gansu: "We must deepen reform and expand opening up with greater courage and determination." At this year's National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "We must deepen the reform of market-oriented allocation of factors, actively break down local protection, market segmentation and 'intra-roll' competition" "Treat enterprises of all ownership equally and continuously optimize the business environment."

In 2024, Gansu's GDP reached 1300.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.8%. A total of 5,431 investment promotion projects were implemented, and 27 key tasks of optimizing the business environment were implemented. Since the beginning of this year, Gansu has taken advantage of the momentum to accelerate the optimization of the soft business environment and increase efforts to empower the development of hard power.

"The total investment of 53.918 billion yuan, a number of key industries and scientific and technological innovation projects involving equipment manufacturing, biomedicine, new materials, new energy and other fields were signed in a concentrated manner." Recently, the Lanzhou City Strong Provincial Capital Conference delivered its first outstanding report card this year. The acquisition of transcripts is inseparable from the extensive participation of private enterprises and other business entities.

Private enterprises are not only targets for investment promotion, but also important forces for local economic and industrial upgrading. The Gansu Provincial Investment Promotion and Optimization of the Business Environment made work arrangements such as "leading the big and strong leading role" and "optimizing the business environment to comprehensively improve the year".

"Gansu's high attention to optimizing the business environment, as well as its determination and actions to promote high-quality economic development, also stimulate our enthusiasm." Heng Fuxi, deputy secretary-general of the Gansu Jiangsu Chamber of Commerce, said.

Effective performance is improved, and you can see the small details. The staff of the "Efficiently Do One Things" window of the Government Affairs Hall of Gaolan County, Lanzhou City coordinated with credit supervision, taxation and other departments to successfully handle the business of re-reporting annual reports and issuing tax clearance certificates for Mr. Li, a citizen. "I don't know how to operate the computer. Thanks to you, it's much easier!" Mr. Li expressed his deep gratitude.

Gaolan County coordinated and integrated the to-do items through cross-departmental collaborative approval and other methods. Integrate offline functional windows such as education, market supervision, human resources and social security, and health care, and provide corresponding services online through the Gansu Provincial Government Service Network. Combining online and offline can improve service efficiency and facilitate enterprises and the public.

This year's "Government Work Report" proposes: "Accelerate the construction of digital government, improve the management of the list of key matters of 'efficient accomplishment' and normalized promotion mechanisms, and improve the integrated online government service platform covering the whole country." Gaolan County's practice and exploration are vivid footnotes.

The number of landed enterprises is constantly refreshing and the business environment is constantly being optimized. Gansu Province regards optimizing the business environment as a key project for high-quality development. The land of Longyuan is opening its arms and warmly welcomes customers from all directions to invest and start businesses and seek common development.
