Over the years, Wuxi has hosted six consecutive Taihu

significantly strengthened the synergy between Wuxi's robust
industrial base and its talent pool, resulting in nearly 1,300
industry-university-research collaboration projects and the

Delta, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay
Area, and the Western Triangle Economic Zone, seeking to
enhance its national appeal.
