IMB builds R&D centre in Wuxi
|
IBM recently signed a contract to build the IBM China Systems and Technology (Wuxi) Development Centre, one of IBM's largest R&D centres in the world, in the Jiangsu city of Wuxi. This is the second time IBM cooperates with Wuxi after establishing its first global commercial cloud computing centre in Wuxi's Binhu district in 2008.
According to Dr Matthew Wang, IBM's global vice president and general manager of its China Development Centre, IBM began cooperating with Wuxi's K-Park in 2008 and has come to appreciate the city's huge potential after years of contact. He said Wuxi has become China’s bellwether city for cloud computing, Internet-of-Things and other industries.
IBM is the world's largest company for information technology and industry solutions. Out of strategic considerations for global business expansion and China's industrial distribution, IBM's wholly-owned subsidiary in China has decided to establish the China Systems and Technology (Wuxi) Development Centre and IBM China Co Ltd in K-Park in Wuxi's Binhu district to expand its R&D business.
The new IBM centre will officially go into operation in early 2012 and will employ between 200 and 250 people by the end of 2012.
