Park Tour — Witnessing Development
Accompanied by park leadership, the delegation conducted an in-depth tour of the park's construction. The park's predecessor was the Ikarus Industrial Park, which was acquired by Ouqiao Industrial Group in 2019 and upgraded to become the Ouqiao Industrial Park in Hungary. After years of careful cultivation, the park's environment and infrastructure have been comprehensively optimized, and its investment attraction and operational capabilities have significantly improved. Currently, the park has attracted more than 150 enterprises, gradually forming a mature industrial cluster ecosystem centered on manufacturing, R&D, logistics, and services. As a key overseas service platform for Anhui, the park provides comprehensive, one-stop supporting services for resident enterprises, efficiently assisting Chinese enterprises to "go global" and establish and thrive in the European market.
