In Dhaka,the capital of Bangladesh, the pile foundation construction work of an elevated expressway is in full swing. The survey,design,construction,purchase and whole-process consulting services for this project are undertaken by Nanjing enterprise JSTI. This expressway,when constructed and put into operation,will effectively ease the traffic congestion from Dhaka to downtown Ashulia.

Outsourcing services are an important way to optimize the allocation of global resources in the service industry. They connect the Chinese and overseas markets and are crucial to the service’s role in creating a new development pattern and advancing the industry to the mid-to-high end of the global value chain.

Since this year, Nanjing’s “overseas service” has quickened its pace of going international,high-end and digital. And the epitome of this trend is its outsourced services in information technology, pharmaceutical research and digital marketing. A source of Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Commerce told the reporter,as of the first quarter of this year,the total contract value of the outsourcing market in Nanjing amounted to USD 12.3 billion — a 75% year-on-year increase. In the comprehensive evaluation of China’s outsourcing service demonstration cities, Nanjing has placed second nationally for the fourth year in a row.

Nanjing is a national pilot city for deepening innovation-driven development of service trade in an all-round way and a demonstration city for performing outsourced services in China. It has been a key growth pole for service trade in Jiangsu and even in China. Recent years have seen the positive measures Nanjing has taken to foster new modes and business forms of outsourcing, to improve firms’ professional service capacity, to advance services outsourcing to high-end links and fields, and to help “Nanjing technology” and “Nanjing standards” go global and serve the world.
