It is impossible not to marvel at the innovation and technology that exists in Suzhou.  Indeed, it is hard to think of another city that has been so important, for so long, that is continually developing and changing while still fully respecting its past.  Make no mistake about it; Suzhou is a world leader in innovation and a Future Classic.

The Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) is an economic hub, with Newsweek and The Wall Street Journal regarding it in the top 10 new hi-tech cities worldwide.  It is also a model city, using the most up-to-date resources and knowledge to design everything, even the tree-lined boulevards along Jinji Lake.  It is also a community, a lifestyle, the place to be seen after nightfall, and the place to see.

Above all, Suzhou is forging ahead with fulfilling its promise to deliver world-class facilities and standards.  In the High-tech District, science, technology and manufacturing industries operate in cutting edge locations, a fact that has attracted huge investment both domestically and internationally.  Its evolution can be seen through its role as an Eco-Industry Demonstration Park, a definite Future Classic.

In the International Technology Garden, on the edge of Dushu Lake, Information Technology (IT) and research & development are central to its function.  Suzhou is home to 53 research & development institutes and has an impressively high graduate level.
