It serves as North China’s gateway to the world and as a strategic stronghold along the 21^st Century Maritime Silk Road. It is a city that not only delivers goods and services to a large population in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Economic Circle, but also functions as an active hub for the import and export of commodities in China.

Tianjin Port is a major transit route for freight to and from North China and ranks among the top 100 container ports in the world.

The city is a national R&D base for advanced manufacturing. Key industries include 3C electronics, oil refining, automobile manufacturing and information technology. Top-tier semiconductor companies, such as SMIC and Freescale, as well as internationally prestigious electronics conglomerates, including Samsung, LG and Panasonic, have a significant presence in Tianjin. As the region’s consumer economy develops, Tianjin has grown into an e-commerce, retail & logistics hub. The robust manufacturing industry and the emerging e-commerce retail business have spawned a demand for warehousing and logistics facilities.
