Denso, Japan's largest automotive components manufacturer, signed a new project agreement involving automotive thermal systems and engine system components in WND on Oct 17. The initiative marks a major step in expanding Denso's product lineup in WND, further consolidating the district's key role in Denso's global supply chain. Since the establishment of Denso Ten Electronics Wuxi in 2004 and Wuxi Denso Automotive Products in 2005, the company has become deeply integrated into WND's industrial ecosystem, serving as an important pillar supporting the high-quality development of the local automotive industry.

The 10th WND Primary and Secondary School Games began on Oct 19, bringing together nearly 1,000 young athletes to compete in running, jumping, and throwing events. Since 2024, WND schools have introduced a daily routine that includes a 15-minute recess and a PE class, encouraging students to stay alive, fit, and full of energy.

A total of 29 companies from WND took part in the 138th Canton Fair, setting up 63 booths.

LongShine Technology Group, based in WND, was once again named among China's Top 100 Software Companies at the 27th China International Software Expo, which began on Oct 15. This marks the company's sixth straight year on the list and shows its ongoing innovation and strong industry expertise.

The Jiangsu Provincial Department of Science and Technology recently announced the proposed 2025 list for its technology enterprise IPO support program. Four WND companies – Jiangsong Science and Technology, Xinjuhong Intelligent Technology, Deep Blue Aerospace, and JD-Link International Logistics – made the cut, representing more than a quarter of Wuxi's entries. To date, 57 companies from the district have been included in the program.

Thirty companies from WND, including Dizal Pharma, SJI-Semi, and HSFilms, were named national "little giants" (SMEs that are innovative and specialized in niche markets), making up 25.6 percent of Wuxi's total entries. Another 11 companies, such as National Center for Advanced Packaging and Jewel Technology, passed the review. WND now hosts 108 "little giants", the second highest among all high-tech zones in Jiangsu.

WND has rolled out 50 major public service projects across eight key areas this year. By the end of September, work on all projects was progressing well, with 20 of them meeting their annual goals ahead of schedule.
