One project funded by Siemens is the group's third intelligent digital factory in China, which will also serve as its first digital low-carbon demonstration factory in the country. Siemens was one of the first and largest foreign investors in WND, with its operations in the district spanning areas such as medium and low-voltage power distribution equipment, medical devices, and automated engineering technology.
Additionally, the delegation secured agreements for five entirely new projects worth 300 million euros. These projects involve the fields of biomedicine, auto part testing platforms, and cross-border e-commerce.
The fruitful trip to Germany and Italy reflects WND's commitment to fostering international cooperation, attracting foreign investment, and advancing economic development. These new partnerships and investments are expected to contribute to the growth of the local economy.
