During the conference, the “23rd National Investment Promotion Agencies Connection Exchange Event” (hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Event”) was held as one of the key supporting activities of CIFIT. Jointly organized by the China Association of Investment Promotion, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and the World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies (WAIPA), this year’s Exchange Event centered on the theme “Pooling Investment for Collaborative and Mutually Beneficial Outcomes.” The event featured speeches and discussions by heads of foreign government departments, representatives of relevant UN agencies, leaders of competent departments under China’s Ministry of Commerce, as well as executives from domestic and international companies and investment promotion agencies. Participants collectively explored new trends in international investment and potential opportunities for cooperation.

As a pioneer in zero-carbon technology industrial parks under the Aden Group, NXpark was invited to participate in this high-level conference. Furthermore, as a core member of Shanghai Foreign Investment Association, NXpark’s involvement further underscored its leading role in driving sustainable investment and industrial transformation both in China and globally.

At the conference, Mr. Jiang Zhe, President and Founder of NXpark, CEO of Aden Energies, delivered a keynote speech sharing insights as a representative of the Aden Group—a French enterprise with over 30 years of deep-rooted presence in China. He highlighted the Group’s focus on two major areas: new industrial infrastructure and clean energy. By investing in and developing modern industrial parks and digital energy solutions, Aden Group supports the upgrading and green transformation of the manufacturing sector. It aims to build an industrial ecosystem that integrates green and low-carbon practices, digital technology, and sustainable development, working with global partners to advance investment facilitation and green growth.

He emphasized: “Building on its technological strengths in new industrial infrastructure and clean energy, NXpark is committed to fostering a two-way investment bridge. It not only supports Chinese companies in “going global” to expand into overseas markets but also actively facilitates foreign enterprises in “entering and deepening their presence” in the Chinese market.”

Investment is a long-term commitment; technology is the engine of transformation.

With over three decades of deep-rooted presence in China, Aden Group has grown to employ more than 21,000 people, with operations spanning 80 cities and a managed portfolio exceeding 40 million square meters. Building on this strong foundation, NXpark is dedicated to transforming its “zero-carbon vision” into tangible industrial solutions.

In the field of new industrial infrastructure, NXpark leverages Aden’s expertise in engineering and operations to deliver a truly “move-in ready” modern park model. It offers end-to-end services covering site selection, design, construction, and operation, allowing enterprises to focus on their core business. This model is now being expanded across the Asia-Pacific region, facilitating global expansion for both Chinese and international companies and creating a green channel for “going global”.

In the area of clean energy, NXpark promotes a strategy centered on digitalization, decentralization, and carbon neutrality. By integrating renewable power generation, energy storage, and charging infrastructure, it helps companies reduce costs, improve efficiency, cut carbon emissions, and enhance sustainability—advancing the realization of “zero-carbon parks and green factories.”

Bridging Global Standards, Enabling High-Quality Global Expansion for Chinese Enterprises

NXpark is not only rooted locally but also globally positioned. In his address, Mr. Jiang Zhe specifically highlighted that Aden Group is actively aligning with the Eco Industrial Park Framework (EIP Framework), jointly launched by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the World Bank. This initiative aims to provide Chinese enterprises expanding overseas with park infrastructure and energy solutions that meet international green compliance standards.

This strategic move will not only help Chinese companies adapt to international market requirements but also support them in building a sustainable brand image abroad.

High-Level Dialogue Platform: Charting a New Vision for Investment

The exchange event was chaired by Chai Haitao, Special Vice President of the China Association of Investment Promotion. It was attended by approximately 300 participants, including representatives from provincial, municipal, and autonomous region commerce departments; free trade zones, economic and technological development zones, and investment promotion agencies; overseas investment promotion organizations; international officials from the MOFCOM Academy; as well as member units of the China Association of Investment Promotion, multinational corporations, foreign-invested enterprises, state-owned enterprises, private companies, and research institutions. The meeting featured in-depth discussions and a vibrant atmosphere, drawing significant attention from stakeholders both in China and abroad.

The debut of NXpark not only represents a significant step in the Aden Group’s green transformation but also injects new momentum into global investment cooperation through its innovative park model. Moving forward, Aden will continue to deepen its dual focus on new industrial infrastructure and clean energy, supporting the development of an open and sustainable global industrial future. By leveraging digital technology as the engine and eco-friendly parks as the platform, the Group will bring together diverse collaborative forces to create a sustainable, smart, and zero-carbon new industrial landscape for global investors.

During this flagship event spotlighting green transition and high-quality development, the NXpark Xi’an High-End Auto Parts Industrial Base was featured in the “21st Century Vitality · ESG Practice Report (2025)”, joining the ranks of global leaders such as Adidas, AstraZeneca, Schneider Electric, Sony China, and China Yangtze Power, in being honored as an ESG Eco-Friendly Case. This accolade is known for its rigorous ESG evaluation system and industry benchmarking, with all selected projects representing the pinnacle of sustainability practices in China.

As one of this year’s award-winning projects, the NXpark Xi’an Base is a next-generation smart manufacturing and green production park—fully invested, designed, built, and operated by NXpark. Located in the Caotang Industrial Park of Huyi District, Xi’an, the project covers a total floor area of approximately 82,000 square meters, with a total investment nearing RMB 1 billion. It marks a key milestone in NXpark’s deep integration into the new energy vehicle supply chain, supporting leading players such as Faurecia and Dongfeng Lear.

From the early planning stages, NXpark aligned closely with China’s dual-carbon strategy, embracing a “low-carbon throughout the lifecycle” philosophy. Through the integration of clean energy systems, intelligent O&M platforms, and sustainable building materials, the project has set a new benchmark for green, intelligent, and human-centered industrial infrastructure:

· Triple global green certifications: LEED Gold, France’s HQE, and China’s Industrial Green Building 2-Star;

· World’s first ESG-insured carbon-neutral industrial infrastructure;

Digital twin optimization via Akila platform, enabling real-time management of energy, equipment, and carbon emissions—achieving a 35–40% reduction in carbon footprint compared to traditional factories.

Yiqi Hong , Vice President of NXpark, was invited to the forum and accepted the award on behalf of the company: “ESG is not a one-off initiative—it’s a long-term strategy. At NXpark, we are committed to evolving industrial spaces from green construction to sustainable operations, delivering solutions that create both environmental and economic value for our clients, partners, and society.”

This recognition marks another national-level achievement for NXpark Xi’an, following its inclusion in the CCTV Finance “Invest in China” Annual Case, cementing its status as both an industry benchmark and a forward-looking, publicly impactful project.

Looking ahead, NXpark will continue to drive deeper integration across green architecture, digital technologies, and investment innovation, expanding ESG demonstrator projects across China and the broader Asia-Pacific region. Together with its partners, NXpark is building a collaborative green value chain, co-creating a sustainable manufacturing ecosystem—and advancing towards a net-zero future.
