All these parks occupy the vast lands: Jiangsu Software Park, Nanjing Software Park, Suzhou Software Park, Wuxi Software Park and Changzhou Software park all have construction areas for premises reaching 3 million m2 and areas to be established reaching 4 million m2, providing spacious and nice working and living environments. In 2007, these five parks have gathered over 1800 software enterprises, most of which cater for clients in Japan, South Korea, Europe and US. Most of enterprises, taking the parks as bases, make the industrial alliance to concertedly explore overseas markets and develop into a relatively complete industrial chain.

The public service system of the Jiangsu-based software and information service outsourcing industrial parks is well established.

The parks are home to residents, domestic and overseas entrepreneurs and gregarious sites for different people. Modern and fashionable entertainment establishments, leisure and gym buildings provide ideal options for both clients and residents.
