Wuxi Software Park

The Wuxi National Software Park (Chinese: 无锡软件园) was founded in Wuxi, Jiangsu in 1998 and inaugurated in 2002. In 2004, it was designated as a “National Torch Program Software Industry Base,” emerging as a crucial platform in Wuxi's initiative to transform into a technology-driven metropolis.^[1] In 2007, it was rebranded as iPark, representing its fundamental principles of Idea, Innovation, and Intellectuals.^[2]

The park has transformed from a solitary office building into a nationally recognized industrial neighborhood.^[3] It has received eight national designations, including the National High-Tech Sensor Network Industry Base and the National Animation and Game Industry Revitalization Base, and is recognized as the origin of the “Sensing China” project.^[4]
