As return for the potent local support since its founding in the area in 2013, Microsoft Suzhou, an artificial intelligence (AI) base of globally renowned computer software supplier Microsoft, has been doing its bit in helping SIP develop into the "Chinese Silicon Valley".

"SIP has provided us with a host of considerate services like policy support and tax incentives. We were moved by their single-hearted devotion even at the negotiation stage. They were so thoughtful that they would have the documents translated into different languages for our staff in different countries and regions. Besides, they always gave quick replies to our overseas staff's queries despite the time difference," Microsoft Suzhou’s vice president Dong Xianming said.

"As a return, we will do our utmost to help SIP establish a sci-tech ecosystem as excellent as American Silicon Valley," Dong said.

Currently, the company is trying hard to bring out more research findings while enhancing its exchange and cooperation with local enterprises to share its resources and seek mutual development.
