The aim is to find the industry docking "waypoint" and strengthen the overall value chain

BWSENSING is a national high-tech enterprise that concentrates on researching and developing, manufacturing and selling of inertial attitude sensors. In August, the Wuxi City Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, organized a docking and exchange activity in the automotive, parts, and high-end equipment industries in Changchun City. During this event, BWSNESING not only established a connection with China FAW - a first-tier domestic automobile factory - for the first time, but also collaborated with key departments of CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles Co., Ltd. to discuss technical details. Through this collaborative innovation, the future of Wuxi City's automotive industry is set to be at the forefront of developments in China. In the future, via collaborative innovation, BWSENSING is anticipated to seamlessly integrate into the supply chain of the Hong Qi passenger car industry and unlock novel opportunities for the enterprise in the realm of intelligent assisted driving.

The juxtaposition of "small giants" and "big man" carries significant weight, emblematic of Wuxi's Industry and Information System's meticulously crafted annual "good show" of economy.

The Wuxi City Bureau of Industry and Information Technology conducted a thorough analysis of over 200 leading enterprises across 10 national clusters. By conducting in-person visits and phone interviews, they gained insight into the R&D and procurement requirements of these enterprises to ascertain the target and direction of industrial cooperation and exchange. A 965-page "Compendium of Product Information and Technical Information of Key Specialised and New Enterprises in Wuxi" comprises approximately 1,000 enterprises and distributes them to relevant cluster promotion agencies and leading enterprises. Further to this, an independent booklet will collate crucial industry segments, such as auto parts, for targeted enterprise service.

Based on the capabilities of local businesses, the Wuxi City Bureau of Industry and Information Technology searched the national "industry map" to identify "chain master" enterprises and industry docking "waypoints" to link local enterprises with them and the "head enterprises".

A chain reaction that has paved the way for new industrial

Since the beginning of this year, Wuxi City Bureau of Industry and Information Technology has facilitated corporate engagement in industrial docking with national advanced manufacturing centres located in cities like Xi'an, Hefei, Changsha, Shenyang, among others. Furthermore, they have participated in acclaimed exhibitions such as China Electronic Information Expo and 2023 Advanced Technology Achievement Fair, etc. to construct a "bridge".

The interaction within the group is expanding the industrial ecosystem. Wuxi Mingheng Hybrid Technology Co., Ltd. identified that products from a participating enterprise could meet their own demand, leading to an immediate cooperation between the two entities.

This type of "dream linkage" is not a singular occurrence. Wuxi firms work alongside local enterprises to expand the market and enhance the industrial ecosystem. This strengthening of the industrial ecosystem

In the "chain" docking services, linking resources and facilitate market development activities, aiming to help enterprises secure orders while also paving the way for industrial integration. By creating a seamless economic cycle with a "win-win chain", opening up new opportunities for growth.

To take the first step towards innovative development

Being proactive is a common trait among the people of Southern Jiangsu.

By taking an early lead, participants not only stand to secure immediate deals, but also establish a competitive foothold for the future. This reflects the agreement reached by both the Wuxi Industry and Information System and Wuxi entrepreneurs.

The Wuxi Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology has not only arranged offline docking activities, but also proactively collaborated with well-known industrial product platforms to facilitate the integration of online resources from both suppliers and customers with offline spaces for "long connection" and "short connection." Simultaneously, the Wuxi Industry and Information System is progressively enhancing the order tracking system's purpose to reinforce the enterprise tracking service. This includes providing financial and human resource security packages for market development.

In the future, the Wuxi Industry and Information System will maintain its focus on the national advanced manufacturing clusters while consistently charting out the city's enterprise "ability list" and head enterprises and "chain master" enterprise "demand list". Actively pursue the "key move" to enter the chain, and make efforts on the "long board" to achieve substantial increments in the future.
