The 2025 Wuxi Xishan Golden Autumn Investment and Cooperation Symposium took place on November 8, showcasing a significant commitment to fostering economic growth in the region. Under the theme “Infinite Opportunities with Xishan,” the event attracted over 200 business leaders, academic experts, and institutional representatives from around the globe. The symposium resulted in the signing of 91 key projects, emphasizing Xishan’s favorable investment climate and its potential for robust economic development.
The symposium served as a culmination of the Wuxi Xishan Golden Autumn Investment Promotion Month, which commenced in September. This initiative has successfully facilitated the establishment of new commercial partnerships through a series of investment events, industry exchanges, and business matchmaking sessions. These efforts are designed to stimulate local economic growth and enhance collaboration among various sectors.
Key Projects and Collaborations
Among the notable projects signed during the symposium was a wind-turbine gearbox research and development facility. This facility is expected to manufacture 1,000 high-precision 10-MW units annually, thereby bolstering Xishan’s advanced equipment cluster. Additionally, three domestic projects were announced: an intelligent manufacturing facility for renewable-energy and nuclear-fusion equipment components, the headquarters and R&D center for FanRuan Software, and a mass-production site for advanced process equipment and materials. Together, these initiatives will significantly strengthen the district’s industrial base and competitiveness on both national and international stages.
The symposium also highlighted major collaboration initiatives, including JD.com’s global smart factory for its Wolf Pack robots. Another partnership featured the establishment of a research and manufacturing facility by Songci Electromechanical, focusing on next-generation renewable-energy and semiconductor equipment. These projects are expected to play a pivotal role in developing a modern industrial framework in Xishan.
Investment Environment and Recognition
In conjunction with the symposium, Xishan District, in collaboration with Cushman & Wakefield, released the 2025 Wuxi Xishan Investment Environment White Paper. This document outlines the district’s strategic plans to attract further investments and enhance its business ecosystem. Furthermore, the event recognized the first six recipients of the “Best Partners” awards, celebrating key contributors to the district’s economic development.
Additionally, the Xishan District Government announced the launch of a new cross-regional collaboration framework with Wuxi’s four principal innovation centers. This initiative aims to foster greater cooperation and resource sharing among various stakeholders, ultimately leading to a more dynamic and interconnected economic landscape.
