Frost & Sullivan becomes the 'fifth batch of global investment promotion partners' for Wuxi Xishan

Malang said in his speech that Xishan, as the eastern gateway of Wuxi, is an important sector for the city to cultivate new productive forces. In recent years, it has focused on the 'Four New and Four Strong' industrial clusters and the '3+N' future industry direction, attracting a number of large enterprises, good projects, and high-level platforms. It has become a 'land of joy' and 'high ground' for entrepreneurs to invest and start businesses, scientists to innovate and start ventures, and investors to make strategic investments. It is hoped that Xishan District will take this consultation meeting as an opportunity to introduce more major industrial projects with high investment intensity, high technological content, and strong driving effects, as well as high-quality foreign-funded projects, to fully build a modern industrial powerhouse with first-class domestic standards and international influence.

Fang Li extended a welcome to the leaders and guests attending the consultation meeting, expressing gratitude for their long-term care and support for the development of Xishan. He said that Xishan has once created the glory of "the First County of China" and given birth to the spirit of "440,000 reforms." Currently, an Xishan that is fully revitalized and climbing higher and higher levels is looking forward to everyone's joining. We will uphold the concept of "projects are king, enterprise first," and be more proactive in providing "menu-style" services on behalf of enterprises, creating the best conditions for everyone to invest in and deeply cultivate Xishan. It is hoped that we can form deeper friendships with everyone, carry out more cooperation, and embrace a brighter tomorrow together.

These projects cover multiple fields such as emerging industries, future industries, major foreign investments, technological innovation, commerce and foreign trade, involving numerous tracks including integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, biomedicine, new energy, and low-altitude economy.

Three major projects, including the R & D and manufacturing project of high-performance lithium-ion batteries, the R & D and manufacturing of integrated circuit 3D process equipment, and the project of the Wuxi Institute Integrated Circuit Process Joint Innovation Center, as well as the Navitas Third Generation Semiconductor China Headquarters project, have been signed and located in Xishan.

Fourteen major projects were signed, including the R & D and manufacturing project of wind power gearboxes for over 8 MW and the low-altitude economic pilot base testing and service platform project.

In the next phase, Xishan District will communicate and coordinate in a timely manner, provide follow-up services, and promote early commencement, construction, and effectiveness of projects.

Attack "tipping points", climb "heights", and cultivate fertile industrial soil

Professional parks are the main frontiers of economic construction and the leading areas for innovation and entrepreneurship. In recent years, Xishan has unswervingly pursued the development path of 'industry clusters + characteristic professional parks', continuously advancing the construction of '16+3+2' characteristic professional parks, and planning and constructing a number of park carriers with complete functions at high standards. More than 1 million square meters of carriers have been built and put into use, with another 1 million square meters under construction, and plans to build more than 1 million square meters within the next three years.

At the symposium, the release ceremony for the professional carriers of Xishan's characteristic parks was held. The Wuxi Xishan Low-altitude Economy Industrial Park, Wuxi Xishan Intelligent Robot Industrial Park, and Wuxi Xishan Beauty Industry Park were inaugurated.

The Wuxi Xishan Low-altitude Economy Industrial Park focuses on the research and development of complete machines for low-altitude economy products, parts manufacturing, testing services, and other fields, constructing a 'four-in-one' low-altitude economy collaborative development system integrating research and manufacturing, commercial application, achievement transformation, and service support. The Wuxi Xishan Intelligent Robot Industrial Park focuses on intelligent robots, artificial intelligence, high-end manufacturing, and other areas, aiming to create a leading core technology innovation center. The Wuxi Xishan Beauty Industrial Park focuses on two major categories: skin care products and efficacy beauty products, striving to build a 'one body with two wings - multi-point collaboration - four medical linkages' full industrial chain development pattern.

Forward-looking layout, the future is already here. Currently, Xishan is closely focusing on the requirements of "six ones," with a strong momentum in building a modern industrial cluster of "four new and four strong" industries and the "3+N" future industry development strategy. This year, the Wuxi Xishan Synthetic Biology Industrial Park and the Wuxi Xishan Humanoid Robot Industrial Park have also been opened successively. Leveraging the aggregation, professionalism, and effectiveness of each park's carriers, Xishan will strive to build an even better industrial ecosystem, allowing more innovative seeds to grow vigorously.

Discuss cooperation, plan for development together, and jointly embark on a wonderful future of 'mutual pursuit and mutual achievement'.By building solid bridges for external exchanges, investment promotion, and talent recruitment, Xishan can surely become the best 'urban partner' for everyone's innovation and entrepreneurship.
