"Hainan has changed a lot in the past five years." said Lai Zhibin, chairman of Hainan Keli Qianfang Technology Co., Ltd.. At the beginning of the company’s establishment a few years ago, it took at least one month to process a change of legal person. Now, through a "window" ", all can be completed within 1 week.
Minimal approval, adding vitality to economic and social development, is the epitome of Hainan's reform achievements.
In 2015, the central government approved Hainan to launch a pilot reform of “multiple regulations in one” at the provincial level, becoming China's first pilot province.
In 2017, Hainan’s “multiple regulations in one” information integrated management platform provided the province with “one blueprint” data services, including online query of planning results, land use monitoring, etc., to ensure that Hainan’s “one blueprint” was implemented to the end.
On the basis of achieving good application results, the platform has advanced again and launched the "a blueprint" public version, where people can query land use information in real time, achieving "more data to walk, and people to run less errands".

Innovation and change, strive for initiative
"In the past few years, our institute has significantly increased the opportunities for external cooperation, and the areas of cooperation have become more in-depth.
