District Mayor Wu Hongjuan has led a series of visits to artificial intelligence companies within the area over recent days, conducting on-site inspections to understand operations, technological development, application scenarios, and market expansion. The goal is to listen closely to corporate feedback, address development needs with precision, and accelerate the clustering and momentum of the AI industry.
At Bester, a company long focused on precision components, intelligent equipment, and tooling product R&D, production, and sales, the leadership inspected operations. Bester operates a three-tier industrial strategy centered on precision machining, casting support, and intelligent equipment as its key drivers. Officials encouraged the company to fast-track capacity expansion, enhance product competitiveness, and deepen the integration of the real economy with artificial intelligence.
At Yuanqing Power, an industrial company incubated by Tsinghua University's Wuxi Applied Technology Research Institute, the focus is on manufacturing and maintaining high-temperature turbine blades for aviation engines and gas turbines. District leaders reviewed progress in technical breakthroughs and business planning, urging the company to integrate further into Binhu's "two-engine" industrial ecosystem, strengthen collaborative innovation with local research institutions, and speed up the commercialization of research outcomes while pursuing a specialized and innovative development path.
Huiran Technology, built around electron optics, specializes in scanning electron microscopes and semiconductor metrology and inspection equipment. The leadership observed production line operations and encouraged the firm to target industry frontiers, boost technological innovation, broaden application scenarios, and attract upstream and downstream resources to support high-end manufacturing upgrades.
Changguangxi Zhizao, a national high-tech enterprise centered on flexible intelligent robotics, was next on the tour. Officials watched live robot demonstrations and heard from management about smart manufacturing transitions, core component R&D, and market orders. They expressed hope the company would stay focused on industrial automation, maintain its lead in technology, raise its brand profile, and move swiftly into the top tier of automotive components suppliers.
Xinzhi Gan, a leading domestic supplier of sensor chips and application solutions with exports to over 100 countries, received praise for its commitment to independent innovation. The leadership encouraged the company to seize a critical development window, boost R&D investment, expand production capacity, and tap new markets to create more flagship products.
The visit concluded at Meijie Semiconductor, a frontrunner in mid-to-high-end semiconductor metrology and inspection equipment. After touring workshops and reviewing technical layouts and product applications, officials directed relevant departments and local jurisdictions to proactively address corporate needs. This includes support for attracting top talent, aligning industrial policies, opening application scenarios, and assisting market expansion to help the company scale up rapidly.
Throughout the tours, officials exchanged views with company leaders, asking about operations and hurdles while coordinating solutions to specific issues. Wu Hongjuan emphasized that artificial intelligence is one of Binhu's key future industries and a vital engine for manufacturing transformation. She called on all departments to adopt a hands-off yet responsive approach, offering tailored services and precise policy support to resolve both common and individual challenges, positioning Binhu as a hub for AI innovation, application pilots, and industry clustering.
