Some things are not known to you. The shining achievements are derived from the new charm of Jinjihu , and from the highly open industrial clusters and decision-making thinking of Suzhou Industrial Park. They not only have "going out", but also "bringing in".

Recently, a signed article entitled "Inheriting Thousand Years of Friendship and Creating a Better Future" was published in the Saudi newspaper Riyadh newspaper. It mentioned that such an animation work " Kong Xiaoxi and Hakim " has attracted countless fans in Saudi Arabia.

Culture has become the new charm of the park

cartoons are very outstanding, the company is famous overseas, China and Saudi Arabia celebrate the shared results together, and the leaders have a light on their faces. At the same time, we should not forget another hero, Suzhou Industrial Park, which gave birth to the enterprise. This area with Jinji Lake as the core is the main force of Suzhou's "cultural going overseas".

​

Suzhou Industrial Park has the name "industrial" tag, but never rejects culture. For a long time, the park has actively encouraged cultural enterprises to "go overseas", provide digital services to countries and regions along the "Belt and Road", realize the "going out" of Chinese culture, foreign cultural trade continues to rise, national cultural export key enterprises and projects continue to emerge, and digital culture goes overseas to begin to take shape. In this difficult year this year, the park's cultural industry has grown against the trend. From January to October, the park exported cultural services to US$175 million, with a total of US$425 million in cultural products, an increase of to 237% year-on-year. This year, the

Park also issued the "Suzhou Industrial Park Foreign Cultural Trade Enterprise Database Management Measures" in the province. The first batch of 13 enterprises were evaluated, highlighting the new advantages of "culture +" and "digital +", implementing classified and layered management of enterprises, and creating an innovative industrial cluster that deeply integrates digital content and traditional culture.

Suzhou Industrial Park was first launched in 1994, and the development goal was to "build a modern industrial park with a certain scale with high-tech as the leader, modern industry as the main body, tertiary industry and social welfare undertakings." The park has been developing and constructed for 28 years and has always adhered to the development concept of "industry-city integration" and attached great importance to the development of social undertakings, including culture.

More than ten years ago, the park soon designated "cultural development zone" as one of the nine important strategies for the development of the park. It adheres to the orientation of people's needs, and focuses on elegant culture on the one hand and broadens the boundaries of urban art. The park has established professional troupes such as Suzhou Ballet and Suzhou Symphony Orchestra (the "two golden flowers" that became the Suzhou urban cultural brand), and created brand cultural activities such as the Jinji Lake Biennale and the iSING!Suzhou International Youth Singer Art Festival; on the other hand, it focuses on culture benefiting the people, improves public cultural carriers and services, and enhances people's sense of happiness with rich and colorful cultural activities and enriches the cultural connotation of the city. While vigorously promoting the excellent traditional Chinese culture, the

park actively promotes cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, strives to create a new cultural highland that matches cultural soft power and regional competitiveness, and helps to create the "City of Innovation and Extraordinary Park" brand. As of the end of 2020, the district had 6,720 cultural industry units, with annual revenue of 68.39 billion yuan.The added value of culture and related industries accounts for 6.8% of the regional GDP, and the total volume and proportion rankings are the second in the city.

open to create cultural competitiveness

From high-tech park to a treasure land with rich cultural heritage. Openness is an important tool for the park. The cultural strength of the

park is not only reflected in going out, but also in introducing it. The two have jointly created the openness of cultural soft power.

Not long ago, the park held a modern service industry summit, revealing many details of urban renewal around Jinji Lake, which is intriguing. The conference announced that the vitality of Jinji Lake will be improved from various aspects such as external appearance, internal cultivation, and spiritual core. The most important one is that the plan for Jinji Lake Station was released at the same time, and the global collection ceremony for the construction plan of the Jinji Lake Station was launched.

Ring Jinji Lake area is the "cover" of Suzhou. The west of the lake is elegant and the trendy in the east of the lake. Oriental Gate echoes each other, creating a beautiful meaning of Carp jumping over the dragon gate. It makes people feel proud and suddenly feel proud when they see it. The collection of important engineering solutions in this region from the world undoubtedly proves that decision makers' thinking is always facing the world.

Today, when the "global procurement" mechanism is widely adopted in the industrial production system around the world, opening up is an important symbol for testing a region's economic competitiveness. Openness is not only the opening of industries, but also the opening of culture and the opening of thinking. Only openness can integrate, cross national boundaries, and empathize with and win-win cooperation.

Everyone familiar with the park knows that Suzhou Industrial Park has a "reference office", which is the abbreviation of Suzhou Industrial Park's office for learning from Singapore's experience. This institution with a slightly "alternative" name is the origin of various advanced concepts and systems in the park. In 1994, the "Reference Office" was born with the park. Since that moment, from planning and construction to investment and business-friendly, from talent introduction and cultivation to social governance, many "new" things labeled as parks have come from here.

, borrowing from, turning foreign countries into the middle, only what I use is the important dimension of the park's open spirit.

openness promotes Suzhou to cross

In recent stage, charter flights from many cities in China are flying to all over the world to "grab orders". Suzhou, which does not have an airport, has set off a "Suzhou fever" in Japan and Europe because of its early departure, many orders and great harvests.

Foreign trade, Suzhou hardcore. Suzhou is also responsible for cultural soft power, and the driving force behind it is the gene of openness. In ancient times, Suzhou's handicrafts traveled all over the world. Now, Suzhou's industrial products and service trade has conquered the world. Over the past few decades, Suzhou has become the world's number one industrial city, and it is open. Although Suzhou is just a prefecture-level city without airports, it has many world-class open platforms.

There is an expert in the Arab world who said it well, if the mountain doesn’t come to me, I will go to the other side of the mountain. Whether it is going out or introducing it, no country or city can close itself. By following the trend of openness and integrating and learning from it, we can create the next cartoon of China-Saudi Arabia, which can also effectively enhance the global competitiveness of urban culture.
