The fourth quarter is the critical phase for securing the year's targets. Across Wuxi, major project construction is accelerating on all fronts, with sites buzzing with machinery and shuttle vehicles. Builders are staying on the front lines, seizing the golden autumn construction window, and driving major projects forward with a "no stoppage, no interruption" spirit, sprinting through Q4 to claim a full-year victory.

In the first three quarters, Wuxi's provincial and municipal major projects both progressed ahead of schedule, and the target of filing three 10-billion-yuan-level projects was met early. From January to September, the city signed and landed 101 major industrial projects worth over 1 billion yuan each, with total investment of 227.78 billion yuan, up 45.2% year on year, and an investment completion rate of 83.8%. Among them were 12 major projects worth over 5 billion yuan each, showing simultaneous improvement in project scale and landing quality. By industry category, projects clustered in frontier golden tracks and new quality productive forces. Integrated circuit projects numbered 25, worth 114.91 billion yuan; high-end equipment projects numbered 20, worth 23.25 billion yuan; and new materials projects numbered 9, worth 12.46 billion yuan. Behind these impressive figures is not just expansion in project count and investment scale, but an iterative leap in industrial capacity. Wuxi has always made cultivating and attracting new quality productive forces a top priority, focusing on frontier golden tracks such as AI computing power, artificial intelligence, commercial aerospace, high-end equipment, and advanced manufacturing, precisely conducting chain-based investment attraction, and working to cultivate new growth drivers and shape new industrial advantages.

New Landings: Strong Chains, Targeted Efforts to Fill Gaps, Headquarters Economy "Adds Positions"

In September, a batch of headquarters-type projects targeting key links in industrial chains signed and settled intensively. On September 28, the Huchuang Xinwei electrostatic chuck headquarters project signed in Wuxi High-tech District. With a planned total investment of 500 million yuan, it is scheduled to start production in March 2027 and achieve overall capacity transfer, forming an integrated headquarters base of "R&D + production + sales." After reaching full capacity, it is expected to produce 2,500 12-inch electrostatic chucks and 5,000 8-inch electrostatic chucks annually, with annual invoiced sales exceeding 400 million yuan. Electrostatic chucks are core components in wafer manufacturing. Huchuang Xinwei has long cultivated the localization of high-end semiconductor components, has overcome the domestic challenge of maintaining electrostatic chucks for the most advanced process levels, and has become a supplier to leading domestic customers at 14-7 nanometer processes. The landing of this headquarters project will further shore up the city's supporting shortcomings in key semiconductor component industries. In the same month, the CETC Equipment Advanced Packaging Equipment Base project, invested and built by CETC Electronic Equipment Group, a central state-owned enterprise team in China's high-end semiconductor equipment field, also signed and settled in Wuxi. The project aims to create incremental business, initially introducing advanced packaging equipment such as thinning and bonding, and subsequently accelerating the construction of four major platforms: collaborative innovation, procurement services, market coordination, and maintenance services, to build a new growth pole for semiconductor equipment business. The landing of these two projects will add key "puzzle pieces" to Wuxi's integrated circuit industry cluster.

New Starts: Breaking Through Toward "New" and "Smart," Emerging Industries Grow Vigorously

Projects must not only be "signed" but also "built quickly." In the fourth quarter, a group of major industrial projects focused on new tracks started construction in Wuxi, storing momentum for high-quality development next year. On September 23, the 500-million-yuan Weilegao EBIKE three-electric and headquarters project officially started. The project will be implemented in three phases, and after completion it will build a Yangtze River Delta headquarters base integrating three-electric R&D, production, foreign trade settlement, and brand headquarters. By 2029, the production base's annual sales are expected to reach 500 million yuan. "The core power system for two-wheeled vehicles cannot simply be externally procured. We must more deeply master the core technologies, quality systems, and delivery capabilities for batteries, motors, and electronic controls," said Zhang Xi, chairman of Shenzhen Weilegao Technology Co., Ltd. This is the fundamental reason the company chose to invest in and build a two-wheeled vehicle core power system manufacturing base in Wuxi Huishan. "We hope to make world-leading products in Wuxi Huishan, strive toward the goal of surpassing global first-class companies such as Bosch and Yamaha, and become the world's leading supplier of two-wheeled vehicle drive systems." In the future, the company will integrate R&D forces from Shenzhen, Kunshan, and the United States, promoting the Wuxi Huishan base to become a model of deep integration between global brands and Chinese manufacturing. More symbolically, Tianqi Co., Ltd.'s embodied intelligent robot industry project officially held its foundation-laying ceremony. With total investment exceeding 1 billion yuan and covering more than 70 mu, it focuses on the integrated innovation of automotive intelligent manufacturing and embodied intelligence, and plans to build an automotive equipment intelligent manufacturing base and a robotics embodied intelligence system R&D center for automotive industry applications. After completion, the project will further improve Tianqi Co., Ltd.'s full automotive intelligent equipment industry chain layout and enhance flexible equipment design capabilities. From "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing," Wuxi's layout in the future industry track of embodied intelligence is accelerating from blueprint to construction site. The level of projects reflects the level of the city. More and more projects are taking root in Wuxi, turning high-end resources from "passing through" into "gathering."

Seizing projects is seizing development; planning projects is planning the future. Wuxi is turning the "planning blueprint" of major projects into "construction drawings" and "real scenes" with a "striving" posture, a "grabbing" momentum, and a "solid" style. Anchored to the full-year target, Wuxi will further improve the full-life-cycle management system for major industrial projects, use the real performance and effectiveness of project construction to solidify the "ballast stone" of development, and inject inexhaustible momentum into accelerating the city's high-quality development.
