The Hurun Research Institute released the 2020 Hurun China Top 100 Districts with the Most Investment Potential, the first ranking of its kind ever compiled by the institute, on Dec 6.

Sixteen districts on the list are located in East China's Zhejiang province, namely Binjiang, Fuyang, Xihu, Xiaoshan, and Yuhang districts in Hangzhou, the county-level city of Yiwu administered by Jinhua, the county-level city of Cixi administered by Ningbo, Beilun and Yinzhou districts in Ningbo, Keqiao and Shangyu districts in Shaoxing, the county-level city of Zhuji administered by Shaoxing, Luqiao district in Taizhou, the county-level city of Wenling administered by Taizhou, as well as Lucheng and Ouhai districts in Wenzhou.

The top 500 districts on the list were selected through a comprehensive evaluation of the investment potential of China's 570 districts. The evaluation took into account their economic strength, population, education, medical resources, environment, technological innovation, and more.

Rupert Hoogewerf, Hurun Report chairman and chief researcher, said that he hopes the list will help enterprises that have made the Hurun China 500 and entrepreneurs who have made the Hurun China Rich List decide where to invest.
