市政府新闻发布会今天举行，会议透露，今年以来，上海统筹推进疫情防控和稳外资工作，预计全年实际吸收外资将首次突破200亿美元，创历史新高。自1980年上海成立第一家中外合资企业，迅达电梯上海电梯厂算起，40年来，上海以敢为人先的精神锐意创新，外资工作开创了全国诸多先河，吸收外资实现了跨越式发展。

目前上海累计实际使用外资金额超过2700亿美元，在此过程中，用了约25年时间，突破500亿美元，用了约6年时间突破1000亿美元，而1500亿美元、2000亿美元、2500亿美元的突破，均仅用了3年时间。

跨越式发展的背后，是来自上海这个市场强劲的内生动力。

临近年底，外资企业总部都在放圣诞假，然而在贝加莱工业自动化中国有限公司，研发部门40多位同事仍在忙着优化方案，因为中国客户的需求，依然非常旺盛。在疫情全球蔓延的这一年，贝加莱在中国市场仍取得了超过20%的业绩增长。
