AHK Industry Zone Directory 2026/2027: Your Strategic Guide to Investing & Cooperating in China
The AHK Industry Zone Directory 2026/2027 is a practical reference compiling up‑to‑date profiles of industrial parks, infrastructure, and local ecosystems across China - designed to help German companies identify suitable locations, partners, and project opportunities for their China business. It aims to provide German companies with on‑the‑ground information to support investment and operational decisions in China.
The German Chamber of Commerce in China’s Business Confidence Survey 2025/26 shows a slight uptick in industry development compared to the year before, and the vast majority of companies have no plans to leave the market. At the same time, price pressure, weak demand in China, and fierce competition remain key challenges. To remain competitive in China, around half of German companies plan to invest further in the next two years. Meanwhile, German companies are accelerating their localization efforts - not only in production but also in R&D - to speed up processes and strengthen their market positions.
Amid this complex business environment, industrial parks with upgraded infrastructure, strong R&D ecosystems, and predictable local implementation are increasingly decisive for investment choices.
This directory provides three practical types of information to support German companies’ decision‑making:
- It offers park and site profiles that describe local infrastructure, industry fit, and available services.
- It includes short policy and regulatory summaries.
- It outlines local ecosystems and partner resources.
With the Directory, the German Chamber of Commerce in China provides German companies with a practical tool to assess market opportunities, identify suitable investment locations, and make informed strategic decisions for their business activities in China.
