It was the long-standing Wu Culture that shaped the industrious, pragmatic and flexible traits of the local people, who triggered the development of the Chinese industry and commerce, making WND the innovation center in Eastern China.

Wuxi New District takes equipment manufacturing as its pillar industry, followed by four emerging industries---micro-electronics, IoT, new materials and bio-pharmaceuticals, and three characteristic industries, namely airport logistics, software & service outsourcing and cultural industry, all of which substantially contribute to Wuxi's economic development.
