The Wuxi China-Europe SME Cooperation Zone has been included on the 2026 list of nationally recognized China-foreign SME cooperation zones, becoming the only newly selected zone in Jiangsu province this year.

The list, recently released by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, includes just seven zones nationwide. Located at the heart of Wuxi National Hi-Tech District, the Wuxi China-Europe SME Cooperation Zone has developed into a hub for international business and industrial cooperation.

The zone generated 80.95 billion yuan ($12.13 billion) in total business revenue in 2025 and is home to 115 foreign-invested companies. It has built industry clusters spanning integrated circuits, high-end equipment, automotive components, new energy, and beauty and health.

To strengthen connections with European partners, the zone has established multiple overseas cooperation platforms, including an offshore business center in Germany and innovation hubs in Italy and France. It also regularly hosts China-Germany industrial cooperation events and organizes economic and trade promotion activities in Europe, creating more channels for businesses and resources to connect across borders.
