太倉高新區始建于1993年，實際管轄面積116.74平方公里，2012年獲批籌建省級高新區，并于2018年9月21日正式掛牌。滬蘇通鐵路一期二期，南沿江、北沿江，嘉閔線在此交匯，擁有高鐵太倉站和太倉南站，實現與虹橋樞紐17分鐘通勤，是蘇州乃至江蘇融入上海的橋頭堡。太倉高新區是經濟發展主戰場。近年來一般公共預算稅收收入、規上工業產值、固定資產投資等主要經濟指標占太倉“半壁江山”。

    太倉高新區是三大產業集聚地。形成了以動力系統、電子電氣系統、底盤系統為主的新能源汽車核心零部件產業；以航空零部件、航空新材料、無人機、航空服務為主的航空產業；以高端數控機床、刀具、軟件為主的工業母機產業。

    太倉高新區是對德合作主陣地。德企總數突破500家，累計利用德資超60億美元，制造業德企數量占全國比例超10%。駐德合作網絡全覆蓋。德企全鏈條服務生態形成。德國“太倉日”、太倉羅騰堡啤酒節、羅騰堡風情街等中外馳名。

    太倉高新區是科創要素密集區。集聚西北工業大學、西交利物浦大學、弗朗霍夫實驗室、中科院硅酸鹽所、計算所、技物所，以及西工大長三角研究院、長三角可靠性系統工程創新研究院、蘇州中科激光研究院等一批大學大院大所。

    Taicang High-tech Zone, established in 1993, encompasses an actual jurisdiction area of 116.74 square kilometers. It received approval in 2012 to prepare for the establishment of a provincial-level high-tech zone, which was officially inaugurated on September 21, 2018. The Hu-Su-Tong Railway (Shanghai-Suzhou-Nantong Railway) Phase I and II, the Yangtze River South Bank Railway (Nanjing South-Taicang High-Speed Railway), the Yangtze River North Bank Railway (part of the Shanghai-Chongqing-Chengdu High-Speed Railway), and the Shanghai Suburban Railway Jiamin Line intersect in Taicang. This place is home to Taicang Railway Station and Taicang South Railway Station, providing a rapid 17-minute commute to Hongqiao Hub. Taicang serves as a pivotal bridgehead for Suzhou and Jiangsu to integrate with Shanghai.
    Taicang High-tech Zone has been instrumental in driving economic development. In recent years, it has contributed to approximately half of Taicang's major economic indicators, including general public budget revenue, industrial output of large-scale enterprises, and fixed asset investment.
Taicang High-tech Zone has evolved into a hub for three major industries. The industry of core parts and components of new energy vehicles focuses on power systems, electronic and electrical systems, and chassis systems. The aviation industry concentrates on the manufacturing of aviation parts, new materials, unmanned aerial vehicles, and aviation services. The industrial mother-machine industry emphasizes high-end CNC machine tools, cutting tools, and software.
    Taicang High-tech Zone serves as a significant platform for Sino-German cooperation. It hosts over 500 German enterprises with a total investment exceeding 6 billion U.S. dollars. The number of German enterprises in the manufacturing sector represents more than 10% of the national total. The investment promotion network in Germany spans the entire country, and a comprehensive service ecosystem for German enterprises has been established. The Taicang Day celebrations in Germany, the Taicang Rothenburg Oktoberfest, and the Rothenburg Waterfront have become internationally famous.
    Taicang High-tech Zone is a hotbed of scientific and innovative activity. It is home to branches of prestigious universities and research institutes, including Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, and Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, as well as three institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences: the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, the Institute of Computing Technology, and the Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics. Additionally, the zone houses The Yangtze River Delta Research Institute of Northwestern Polytechnical University, the Yangtze River Delta Reliability System Engineering Innovation Institute, and the Suzhou Zhongke Laser Intelligent Manufacturing Innovation Research Institute.
