The zone continues to strengthen its appeal for global companies. During the first three quarters, eleven firms — including Kone Elevators, Dah Sing Bank, and Hisense Xinyang — were officially recognized as Shenzhen-based multinational corporate headquarters. Qianhai now hosts a total of 51 multinational headquarters, ranking first in the city. Kone Elevators, for instance, launched its Greater Bay Area investment plan in August, establishing a Southern China headquarters and an operational smart logistics center in Qianhai.
