Jiangsu Software Park

Approved by Jiangsu Government, Jiangsu Software Park was set up in December 2000 and was named National Software Industrial Base by the National Reform & Development Committee and IT Department in July 2001. In November 2005, it was identified as software industrial base of the National Torch Plan.

Since establishment, Jiangsu Software Park has devoted itself to creating a first class software park with advanced philosophy, comprehensive functions, top services and beautiful environment.

It covers an area of 172, 000 square meters and is divided into 3 major zones, i.e. International Development Zone, Independent Development Zone and Public Supporting Services Zone. It is positioned as a first class incubator base for middle and small software enterprises, which is also an experimental base for technical result transformation, and development center and headquarter for renowned enterprises both home and abroad. A total construction area of 136,000 square meters is already accomplished.

Jishan Mountain Industrial and Export Base is located south of Jishan Mountain, Jiangning District, right between Nanjing Municipal Hi-tech Industrial Zone and Bullhead Forest Park ecological corridor. With 6000 m2 area of the first planning phase, it is positioned as an industrial base for large and medium-sized software enterprises and also as a software export base. The base has now established a "Creative Center" of 68,000 m2 and a "Business Park" of 53,000 m2, which have greatly expended the development space.

In order to promote the development of software industry in Jiangsu Province, Jiangsu Software Park has built a first class service system.
