The Pingyao Economic and Technological Development Zone (Pingyao ETDZ) in Shanxi province has consistently optimized its business environment in recent years through reform and innovation, digital empowerment, and considerate services, creating a supportive environment for businesses to establish, grow, and thrive.

The development zone has advanced the "One-stop Service for Enterprise Investment Projects" reform, integrating 13 related procedures such as project approval, planning, and energy conservation reviews. The reform also includes the creation of clear guidelines and flowcharts, specifying standards, responsible entities, and timelines for each step – ensuring businesses have a clear and reliable process to follow.

A comprehensive "One-stop" service window has also been established, expanding across various application scenarios. During the entry and operational approval stage, high-frequency tasks like business registration, relocation, and food business licensing can now be completed in a single transaction, significantly reducing processing times and costs.

By combining specialized window functions and processes, the zone has developed a comprehensive, parallel approval model encompassing consultation, assistance, and tracking services. This effectively addresses urgent and complex issues faced by enterprises, ensuring smoother business operations.
