Wander the streets of Wuxi in eastern China’s Jiangsu province and you’ll encounter self-driving minibuses that seat six to eight people and have no visible steering wheel or gas pedal.
By installing LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensors and cameras, the minibus can observe the flow of people and traffic around it in a 360-degree panoramic view, automatically stop at red lights and detect road conditions in advance.
Behind the minibus is Wuxi’s complete IoT industry chain, including chips, sensors, connections, platforms, applications and security.
Wuxi is located on the shore of Taihu Lake and is the economic pearl of the Yangtze River Delta. The city’s per capita GDP ranks among the highest in China and is a prosperous manufacturing center supported by technological innovation.
“New Motor”
In recent years, Wuxi has focused on cultivating high-quality new productive forces and constantly exploring new areas of development.
The city has made major breakthroughs in the fields of smart sensors, Internet of Vehicles, and Industrial Internet of Things. In terms of market size, there are more than 3,000 IoT companies in Wuxi, including 82 listed companies.
On April 1, Liangxi, Xinwu and Binhu counties in Wuxi opened two-way low-altitude drone logistics lines, becoming the first unmanned delivery demonstration city in the Yangtze River Delta.
In addition, Wuxi has also launched 55 low-altitude economic application scenarios in seven categories. In addition to driverless delivery, four itineraries including aerial cherry blossom viewing were also announced.
Currently, there are more than 500 public service drones in the city, which are used for traffic control, emergency rescue, power inspection and other scenarios.
According to the Wuxi Municipal Government, Wuxi is striving to systematically build a “5+X” future industrial development system focusing on general artificial intelligence, quantum technology, third-generation semiconductors, hydrogen energy and energy storage, and deep-sea equipment. fields.
“New Vitality”
Wuxi is also a cultural treasure, with a long historical heritage and a rich artistic heritage that blends with modern civilization.
Yangshan Town is known as the “Hometown of Peach” and is one of Wuxi’s best tourist destinations for ecological landscape, cultural heritage, entertainment and leisure.
Today, the development of the tertiary industry is better than ever. From farms and inns to exhibition halls and peach-themed cafes, communities use natural resources to promote the integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism, and comprehensively promote rural revitalization.
In 2023, the output value of Yangshan peach will reach 900 million yuan (about 124 million U.S. dollars), and the per capita disposable income of Yangshan farmers will reach 66,000 yuan. At the same time, the township will receive more than 2 million tourists in 2023, and tourism revenue will reach 1.58 billion yuan.
Wuxi’s economic and social development cannot be separated from the strong support of culture.
The Grand Canal of China, a vast waterway connecting north and south China, was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014. The Wuxi Old Canal is part of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, winding through Wuxi City for more than 40 kilometers.
Wuxi focuses on the protection, inheritance and utilization of the cultural heritage of the Grand Canal and continues to promote the organization, protection, renewal and development of cultural heritage.
Several creative campuses built along the canal emerged from the industrial heritage. After revitalization, they were built into distinctive cultural and creative tourist attractions, reflecting the new image of our city’s cultural city.
In 2027, it is expected that no less than 15 distinctive future industrial parks will be built, 8 innovation platforms including future industry technology innovation centers and technology research centers will be built, and 10 future industry leading enterprises will be cultivated.
