With a planning area of 118 square kilometers, Kunshan High-tech Development Zone was upgraded to a provincial-level development zone in 2006 and became the first national-level development zone based in a county-level city in the country in September 2010.

Kunshan High-tech Development Zone has devoted great efforts to developing three pillar industries: new generation electronic information technology, robotics and intelligent equipment, and small nucleic acids and biomedicine.

In recent years, the zone has been working on intensifying its investment attractions. In that period, 17 foreign funded projects, each over $10 million, and eight domestic capital projects, each over 100 million yuan ($14.70 million) have settled in the area with their total investments reaching 40 billion yuan.

In 2017, Kunshan High-tech Development Zone reached a regional GDP of 70 billion yuan, with its general public budget revenue adding up to over 8 billion yuan.
