As the first provincial-level overseas business service outpost established by Anhui Province in Central and Eastern Europe, Hungary Ouqiao Industrial Park serves not only as a haven for Anhui enterprises going global, but also as a window for European friends to understand Anhui. At this time of deepening China-Hungary friendly cooperation, we sincerely introduce our hometown — Anhui Province, China — to friends in Hungary and across Europe, hoping to use the park as a bridge to write a new chapter of cooperation together.
I. The Land of Jianghuai: A Rich History, a Land of Talent
Anhui, abbreviated “Wan,” is located in the heartland of eastern China, bordering rivers and close to the sea, bridging east and west. It is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization:
• Cultural Heritage: Birthplace of great thinkers such as Laozi, Zhuangzi, and Zhu Xi, and home to historical figures including Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Hongzhang, and Bao Zheng. It is also the ancestral hometown of China’s current national leader, President Xi Jinping.
• Huizhou Charm: Home to Mount Huangshan — a UNESCO dual World Cultural and Natural Heritage site famous for its unique pines, peculiar rocks, sea of clouds, and hot springs; the ancient southern Anhui villages of Xidi and Hongcun — also UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites and living museums of traditional eastern rural life; and Mount Jiuhua, one of China’s four sacred Buddhist mountains.

• Innovation DNA: From the ancient “Four Treasures of the Study” (Xuan paper, Huizhou ink, Xuan brushes, and She inkstones) to modern technological innovation, the people of Anhui carry in their bones the spirit of “daring to be first.”
II. Anhui Today: Technological Innovation and Manufacturing Powerhouse
Today, Anhui is one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic provinces on the Chinese mainland, distinguished by four defining strengths:
1. A Cradle of Technological Innovation:
Anhui is home to top-tier institutions such as the University of Science and Technology of China, and the world-renowned Hefei Comprehensive National Science Center. Here, the world’s first quantum communication satellite “Micius” was born, along with the world’s first fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device “EAST” (also known as the “Artificial Sun”). Hefei stands alongside Beijing, Shanghai, and the Greater Bay Area as one of China’s four comprehensive science centers.

2. Advanced Manufacturing Clusters:
• New Energy Vehicles: Anhui is a major hub of China’s new energy vehicle industry, home to automakers such as Chery, JAC, NIO, and Volkswagen (Anhui). It has established a complete industrial chain from batteries, motors, and electronic controls to finished vehicles — highly complementary to Hungary’s position as the “crossroads of the European automotive industry.”

• Solar & Energy Storage: Anhui is one of the world’s largest regions by photovoltaic module shipments. Leading companies such as Sungrow and LONGi are driving the global clean energy transition.

• New Display Technology: 3 out of every 10 LCD screens globally come from Anhui. Companies like BOE Technology Group operate world-leading production bases in Hefei.
3. A New Inland Opening-Up Hub:
Anhui is served by the China-Europe Railway Express (Hefei), a golden corridor reaching 18 countries directly, with Hamburg, Milan, and Budapest as key nodes. The cargo cooperation potential between Hefei Xinqiao International Airport and Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport is enormous, providing a convenient channel for cross-border e-commerce and logistics.

4. An Excellent Business Environment:
The Anhui Provincial Government places great emphasis on opening up and has introduced a series of preferential policies to attract foreign investment — particularly in high-end manufacturing, the green economy, and the digital economy — offering a vast market space for European enterprises, including those from Hungary.
III. Anhui and Hungary: Broad Prospects for Cooperation
Hungary was the first European country to sign a Belt and Road cooperation document with China, and it is also an important gateway for Anhui enterprises to enter the EU market. Anhui and Hungary enjoy strong industrial complementarity:
• Industrial Complementarity: Hungary has a strong foundation in the automotive and electronics industries, while Anhui has ample capacity in new energy vehicles, photovoltaics, and new materials. Together, both sides can build a transnational industrial chain with “R&D and core components in Anhui, final assembly and sales in Hungary.”
• Policy Alignment: Hungary’s “Opening to the East” policy is highly aligned with Anhui’s “Going Global” strategy. Under the strategic guidance of both countries’ leaders, the city of Hefei and the 16th District of Budapest have signed a letter of intent for friendly cooperation, providing solid government endorsement for business cooperation between the two regions.
• Cultural Affinity: Hungary has one of the strongest Chinese-language education environments in Europe, while Anhui is a major province for vocational education in China. We are actively promoting the establishment of a “Sino-Hungarian Bilingual Talent Training Base” to foster youth exchange and cultural dialogue between the two regions.
IV. Our Commitment: Hungary Ouqiao Industrial Park
As an Anhui enterprise rooted in Hungary, we are not only investors — we are also service providers. Leveraging the newly inaugurated Anhui Provincial Overseas Business Service Outpost in Hungary, we make the following solemn commitments:
• If you are a European enterprise looking to enter the Chinese market, we will connect you with Anhui’s supply chains, talent, and capital, providing market entry consulting and business visit services.
• If you are an Anhui enterprise looking to expand into the EU market, we will provide full life-cycle services — from legal and tax support, product exhibitions, to warehousing and logistics — ensuring a worry-free overseas journey.
Anhui combines the gentle grace of Jiangnan water towns with the dynamic surge of technological innovation. We warmly welcome friends from Hungary and across Europe to visit and explore Anhui, and we invite more outstanding enterprises to join our park. Together, let us share opportunities for development and create a better future!
