To objectively and comprehensively reflect the overall investment environment of Wuxi
National High-Tech Industrial Development Zone (hereinafter referred to as WND) and
provide authoritative information to domestic and foreign investors and people from all
sectors, the Administrative Committee of Wuxi National High-Tech Industrial Develop-
ment Zone has engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers Consultants (Shenzhen) Limited -
Shanghai Branch ("PwC") as a third party to provide intellectual and technical support in
preparing the Report on the Investment Environment of Wuxi National High-Tech Indus-
trial Development Zone, According to our observation,WND has drawn on its abundant
regional resources and competitive industrial base to speed up the layout of the
core area of Sci-Tech Innovation Belt around Taihu Lake and the “6+2+X" industrial
clusters, and make WND a world-class modern industrial hub.
Wuxi City is in the center of the Yangtze River Delta.It
is the birthplace of China's national industry and
commerce, a national historical and cultural city with
signifcant geographical advantages and a solid
industrial foundation, WND is the most important
economic growth pole in Wuxi City. an important
window for reform and opening up, and an industrial
highland for participating in international competi-
tion.WND boasts an eficient and convenient collect-
ing and distributing system with Sunan Shuofang
International Airport at its core, coupled with water,
land and air transport networks by virtue of high-speed
rail, canals intercity expressways and intracity roads. As
a core supporting area of Wuxi's deep integration
into the integrated development of the Yangtze River
Delta.WND effectively aligning with Shanghai's devel-
opment strategy of building "five centers" and "four
major functions, and will play an active role in leading
the high-quality development of Wuxi City, reinforcing

district's radiating influence, factor aggregation capa-
bilities, and industrial leadership. Under the guidance of
the "Three Major Economies," WND is developing a
future-oriented "6+2+X" industrial cluster, including six
advanced manufacturing industries with leading
advantages—Internet of Things (IoT) and digital indus-
try, integrated circuits, biopharmaceuticals, intelligent
equipment, automotive components, two modern
service industries dominated by high-end software and
digital creativity, and high-end commerce and
airport-related services, along with future industries
such as compound semiconductors, advanced pack-
aging and testing, hydrogen energy, new energy
storage, artificial intelligence, robotics, cell & gene
technology, synthetic biology, metaverse and virtual
