On March 20, the “Business Opportunities” launch event for Henggang Subdistrict in Longgang District, Shenzhen, along with the working meeting of the Subdistrict Federation of Industry and Commerce (Chamber of Commerce) members and the inauguration ceremony for the Private Entrepreneurs Cultural Exchange Service Center, was held at the Henggang Culture and Sports Center.

The event highlighted Henggang’s new initiatives for the “Business Opportunities” program in 2026, announced key projects in the eyewear industry, and unveiled favorable policies and new business opportunities for industrial development.

At the meeting, the subdistrict’s digital ambassador, “Heng Xiaozhi,” outlined the new year’s industrial space consolidation plan. Two major fashion industry platforms—the Henggang “AI+” Eyewear Experience Center and the Liuyue Gold and Jewelry (Factory) Trading Center—have freed up approximately 60,000 square meters of new commercial and trade space. The former will serve as a cutting-edge showcase and design hub for smart wearables, while the latter will integrate the entire supply chain, encompassing spot wholesale, craftsmanship exhibitions, and e-commerce livestreaming. The Zhonglian Exhibition·Liuyue Gold and Jewelry Industrial Park and the AI Eyewear Industrial Park, with nearly 100,000 square meters of industrial space, are accelerating their transformation to conduct targeted investment promotion through specialized industrial parks. At the same time, the subdistrict will establish a high-quality, customized HarmonyOS Industrial Park to attract the clustering of upstream and downstream enterprises in the HarmonyOS industry chain and implement relevant subsidy policies.

In the eyewear industry, Henggang Subdistrict is focusing on four key areas—physical infrastructure, talent development, major events, and brand consumption—to advance the development of the Shenzhen AI Eyewear Park, the Henggang AI+ Eyewear Center, the National College Student Eyewear Design and R&D Practice Base. It has organized the 2026 Shenzhen International Eyewear (Smart Wearables) Design Competition and the 10th Henggang Eyewear Designer Selection Event, the Henggang Fashion Eyewear Consumer Week, and the Eyewear Creative Concept Design Skills Competition, while establishing an Eyewear Mall Alliance to continuously enhance the Henggang eyewear brand. At the same time, the district is prioritizing both the cultivation of skilled craftsmen and the attraction of talent. It is organizing competitions to recognize eyewear and jewelry craftsmen, co-hosting Shenzhen’s first Eyewear Craftsman Skills Competition, implementing employment and entrepreneurship support policies, preparing a direct consumer bus route from Hong Kong to six major eyewear malls, optimizing cultural and tourism itineraries, and launching a summer eyewear-fitting tour.

During the event, the Eyewear Mall Alliance was officially established with the aim of consolidating industry resources, fostering collaboration, and promoting a shift from individual competition to collective development within the eyewear industry. The Henggang Chamber of Commerce signed a strategic cooperation agreement with a bank to strengthen bank-enterprise collaboration and address corporate financing challenges. The newly established “AI Trend Toys Professional Committee” will build an innovation exchange platform for local enterprises and promote cross-industry integration between artificial intelligence and the trend toys sector.
