The Taixing High-tech Zone – located in Taixing city, in East China's Jiangsu province – is focusing on making science and technology its standout area of expertise.
The integrated circuits industry is an important part of the zone's modern industrial system and its accordingly selected sub-sectors – such as packaging, testing and equipment production – as its main drivers.
Taixing is now home to 17 key enterprises related to integrated circuits, forming a preliminary integrated circuits industry ecosystem.
It is also equipped with basic support facilities for the development of the IC sector – including human resources, technology and finance, as well as sci-tech innovation platforms.
Moreover, the zone encouraged resident companies to generate breakthroughs in key technologies and to improve their intelligent manufacturing levels in 2023.
"Backbone enterprises continued to occupy the market by improving intelligent production lines and optimizing product performance, while new enterprises pushed to overcome technology bottlenecks to win markets," said zone official Xu Hui.
Moving forward, plans are for the zone to ratchet up its development of energy conservation and environmental protection industrial clusters. To this end, it will continue to expand the layout of the integrated circuits industry – with a focus on equipment, packaging, testing and materials.
