How to make national market integration as seamless as local trade? On February 26^th, the 10^th day of the first lunar month, with the Chinese New Year spirit still lingering in the air, Zhengzhou convened a high-profile meeting marking its first major gathering of the new year. The meeting aimed to advance the city's integration into and service of the national unified market, deepen comprehensive reforms for market-based allocation of factors of production, and improve the business environment.

如何让“买卖全国”像“买卖本地”一样简单？2月26日，农历正月初十，春节年味尚浓，郑州以农历新年第一会的高规格，召开全市纵深推进融入服务全国统一大市场建设暨深化要素市场化配置综合改革、优化营商环境会议。

The message from the meeting was clear: in Zhengzhou, integrating into the national unified market, reforming factor allocation, and optimizing the business climate are now advancing as an integrated whole.

会议传递出一个清晰的信号：在郑州，融入服务全国统一大市场、要素市场化配置综合改革与优化营商环境，正作为有机整体协同发力。

In physical connectivity, progress is accelerating. The year 2025 saw Zhengzhou achieve notable gains in opening up. Two cases from the Zhengzhou Area of the China (Henan) Pilot Free Trade Zone were selected by the Ministry of Commerce as best practices. The Xinzheng Comprehensive Bonded Zone became the first in central China to expand its area. Zhengzhou Airport launched 70 all-cargo routes, with cargo volume surpassing 1 million tons for the first time. The city ranked second nationally in the number of China-Europe freight train services. Both foreign trade and cross-border e-commerce transaction value ranked first in central China. Zhengzhou's role as a pivotal hub continues to strengthen, connecting domestic and international economic flows while serving the national unified market.

开放枢纽的“硬联通”正在加速。2025年，郑州对外开放成果丰硕——自贸试验区郑州片区2项案例入选商务部最佳实践案例，新郑综保区实现中部率先扩区；郑州机场已开通全货运航线70条，货邮吞吐量首破100万吨，中欧班列开行量位居全国第二；外贸进出口、跨境电商交易额均稳居中部第一。郑州在链接双循环、服务全国统一大市场中的枢纽作用持续凸显。

In institutional connectivity, progress is equally tangible. Zhengzhou pioneered an online platform (Zhengqi Xianfeng) for delivery riders, the first of its kind in China, introducing a "snap-and-report" supervision module that established a "party-building guidance, digital empowerment, collaborative governance" model. Leveraging its trailblazing "regulatory sandbox" approach, the city steadily improved the effectiveness of whole-chain credit supervision. Building on its model combining AI early warning and patent portfolio, which was recognized as a national innovation case in business environment, Zhengzhou accelerated the establishment of a national-level intellectual property protection center.

制度创新的“软联通”同样可感。郑州在全国率先打造“郑骑先锋”线上平台，创新设置“随手拍”监管模块，形成“党建引领、数智赋能、协同治理”的郑州模式；依托全国首创的“沙盒监管”模式，持续提升全链条信用监管效能；在“AI预警＋专利布局”郑州模式获评全国营商环境创新案例的基础上，加快建成国家级知识产权保护中心。

Market vitality fueled by factor mobility is being fully unleashed. Gongyi City, capitalizing on its scale advantages in the aluminum industry, is planning a trading platform for aluminum products. It has traded RMB 1 billion in spot aluminum since the start of the year and expects to hit RMB 10 billion by year-end. Jinshui District's economic output surpassed RMB 227.2 billion in 2025, with the total number of market entities exceeding 370,000. The district facilitated the opening of Mixue Ice Cream & Tea's first U.S. store and supported the company in becoming Zhengzhou's first Hong Kong-listed firm with a market value exceeding RMB 100 billion. It also attracted 200 flagship stores of well-known brands, accounting for half of the city's total.

要素流动的市场活力正被充分激活。巩义市发挥铝产业规模优势，谋划建设铝产品交易平台，今年以来已开展铝现货贸易10亿元，预计全年可实现铝现货贸易100亿元；金水区2025年经济总量突破2272亿元，市场主体总量突破37万家，助力蜜雪冰城美国首店落地、成为郑州首家市值超千亿的港股上市企业，引进知名品牌首店总量达200家，占全市1/2。

Reforms in factors such as data and capital have also made breakthroughs. The Zhengzhou High-Tech Industrial Development Zone, together with co-construction zones, is planning an integrated demonstration zone for education, technology and talent. The goal is to forge a seamless pathway: education cultivates talent, talent drives technology, and technology powers industry. It is also exploring innovative pathways for data to evolve from a resource into an asset and ultimately into capital.

数据、资本等要素改革同步破题。高新区联动合作共建区规划建设教育科技人才一体化示范区，贯通“教育育才—人才兴科—科技强产”路径；创新探索数据要素资源化、资产化、资本化路径。

Factor markets are the main channels of the economic circulatory system. Today, Zhengzhou is committed to dismantling administrative barriers and smoothing the flow of factors. With a more open posture toward the market, it aims to make factor mobility freer and allocation more efficient.

要素市场是经济循环的“主动脉”。当前，郑州正致力于打破行政壁垒、畅通要素流通，以更开放的姿态拥抱市场，让要素流动更畅通、配置更高效。
