　　The new charm of Suzhou doesn't stop there.

From an industrial perspective, Suzhou has two “trillion-billion” industries, namely, electronic information and equipment manufacturing. However, in the future, Suzhou will also develop new longboards. Now Suzhou is vigorously fostering biomedicine, nanotechnology, and aerospace. In high-end strategic emerging industries such as third-generation semiconductors, the next "trillion-billion" industry is likely to emerge.

　　Walking in the Suzhou Biopharmaceutical Industrial Park, this is a biopharmaceutical port built by Suzhou with great efforts, and it is firmly in the "C position" of the Suzhou biopharmaceutical industry.

It is also a well-deserved "weathervane" for China's biomedical innovation and investment.

In the first half of this year, another batch of new projects were signed. , Involving the aerospace field, advanced transportation field.

　　The current Suzhou city is concentrating on creating a "chip city" with integrated circuit design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, equipment, materials and support services as the ecological chain.

Statistics show that the scale of Suzhou's integrated circuit industry has exceeded 60 billion yuan. Nearly 20 listed integrated circuit companies have been cultivated, and more than 200 key enterprises have been established, with a compound annual growth rate of over 16%.

　　One side of "double-sided embroidery" is the Suzhou economy represented by "Made in Suzhou", and the other side is the culture of Suzhou.

At the beginning of this year, Suzhou officially launched the construction of "Ten Canal Views" involving Xiangcheng, Gusu, Wuzhong, Wujiang and other sectors, trying to break through the "cultural shortcomings" and fully launch the "Jiangnan Culture" brand, hoping to double the cultural industry .

　　The external environment is still severe, and the "resilience" of the urban economy will not come out of thin air. The "consumption story" of Suzhou in the first half of the year is the best proof.

Cooperate with Shanghai to host the "Five-Five Shopping Festival". In the first half of this year, Suzhou achieved a total retail sales of consumer goods of RMB 446.73 billion, an increase of 28.1%.
