It will definitely benefit Zeiss’s development in China.” Ricky You, Plant Manager of the Carl Zesis Vision (China) Ltd. told Newsgd.com. His company won the Innovation & Intelligence Award at the Gala.

TUV Rheinland, a German high-tech company who has set up a branch in Shenzhen also showed great confidence in the GBA. “We believe with the GBA project we can better utilize our resources from Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong where we’re already established.

Thomas Schimitz, CEO of Andritz (China) Ltd. told journalists that his company has been in Foshan for nearly 20 years. “The Bay Area is our home. Guangdong already has big cities like Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen and Zhuhai. The GBA is providing more infrastructure, more logistics capability and more transport opportunities for people”. Schimitz’s company won the Top Performer in China Award at the Gala.

During the Gala, Mr George Lau, Chair of the European Chamber South China Board said: "The European Business in China Awards Gala actively promotes best practices from European companies in China across different fields. It is a platform for sharing and exchanging experiences between businesses in China and foreign countries. We hope to recognise the contributions made by companies to local communities in South China and encourage communication between Europe and China for future success.”
