SHANGHAI expects to boost its cultural exchanges with foreign countries through a platform and a set of preferential policies, officials said.
The city will sign an agreement tomorrow with six companies to operate the Shanghai International Cultural Service and Trade Platform. The signing will take place in Beijing at the Third China Trade in Services Congress being held today to Friday.
The platform, set up in the city's Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone in September 2008, provides services for domestic and foreign enterprises engaged in the trade of cultural products, bonded exhibitions, cultural business consulting, copyright transaction, agent service and post-production of films.
"The platform is established to boost China's emerging cultural business by cutting costs and raising efficiency," said Ren Yibiao, director of the platform and general manager of the government-backed Shanghai Oriental Huiwen International Cultural Services and Trading Co Ltd.
For example, he said, cultural companies don't have to pay deposits to the customs if they exhibit expensive cultural or artistic works in the bonded zone through the platform. Newcomers can get government subsidies for two years to develop their business.
The platform has a 100,000-square-meter office building in the Waigaoqiao bonded area. More than 61 companies are operating in the building with businesses range from publishing, film-making, game software, entertainment and exhibition.
