With a planned area of 150 square kilometers, the zone is home to over 1,000 enterprises. Their products span more than 10 industries, including electromechanical, chemical, building materials, textiles, biotechnology, IT, and new energy, attracting $1 billion in foreign investment.The zone has formed industrial clusters centered on Shuangdeng Group and Yangdong Electric for smart grids; Pacific Precision Forging Technology and Global Transmission for advanced equipment manufacturing; and Wuxing Materials Technology and Jingmao Technology for new materials and electronic information. In recent years, with the goal of becoming a national-level economic development zone, the zone has focused on building two provincial-level specialty industrial bases—smart grids and equipment manufacturing—and has become the most dynamic and promising development zone in the central Jiangsu region.
