High-end equipment manufacturing industry is a strategic emerging industry led by high technology, at the high-end of the value chain and the core link of the industrial chain, which determines the comprehensive competitiveness of the whole industrial chain, is the backbone of the modern industrial system, and is the engine to promote industrial transformation and upgrading. Relying on the long-term extensive and in-depth cooperation with German enterprises, Taicang High-tech Zone has accumulated a strong economic foundation. Taicang High-tech Zone vigorously supports the development of high-end equipment manufacturing industry, which is conducive to making full use of Germany's advanced manufacturing technology to improve the overall level of China's equipment manufacturing industry, and is also conducive to the realization of going out and interconnection with the world of China's advanced and applicable high technology through standards.

The automobile industry is the advantageous industry in the High-tech Zone. In recent years, the High-tech Zone has been actively introducing and gathering upstream and downstream enterprises and productive service industries around the core automobile parts segment industry, and the industrial innovation ecology centering on key core automobile parts has basically taken shape. The zone has a large number of backbone enterprises and invisible champion enterprises such as Schaeffler, BorgWarner, Ficosa, Mubea, Magna, Kern-Liebers, and so on, which occupy an important position in the industry market. At present, the automobile industry is moving towards the development direction of electrification, intelligence, networking and sharing, which also brings challenges and development opportunities for automobile parts enterprises. The automobile parts enterprises in the High-tech Zone lead the development of the industry with innovative research and development, extend to the high-end links of the industrial chain and value chain, and accelerate industrial upgrading.

As the "No.1 industry" built by Suzhou City with great emphasis, biomedical industry is also the key industrial direction of Taicang High-tech Zone. Taicang High-tech Zone is striving to build Sino-German (Taicang) Life and Health Industrial Park, focusing on building the High-tech Medical Equipment and Biomedical Industry Innovation Base and High-end Pharmaceutical Research and Development Service Platform, and has built biomedical carriers such as Taicang Biomedical Innovation Park and Taicang Science and Technology Entrepreneurial Park, and is now preparing to build Taicang Sino-German Innovation Park-Life Science Park.

Actively integrates into the Yangtze River Delta integrated digital economy industry ecosystem, builds a new system of digital economy and digital development in the Hi-tech Zone at a high level based on digital facilities, led by digital innovation, with digital industrialization and digitalization of industry as the main line, supported by digital ecology and digital open cooperation, effectively releases new dynamic energy of data elements, explores and cultivates new business formats and new models, develops and grows new digital industry new energy levels, and builds the national demonstration zone of high-quality development of digital economy.
