WUXI, China, Oct. 23, 2023 /Xinhua/--

The 2023 World Internet of Things (IoT) Exposition opened Friday in the city of

Wuxi, east China's Jiangsu Province. This year's expo focuses on a more

specific field, with "Advanced sensing, industrial internet and internet of

vehicles" as its slogan. The three-day event includes a summit, an exhibition

featuring the latest IoT applications and products, and several forums focusing

on themes like the industrial internet, intelligent sensing and intelligent

connected vehicles, according to the Organizing Committee of 2023 World IoT

Expo.

From self-driving vehicles to industrial robotics, 240 IoT-related enterprises,

including State Grid, China Mobile, Huawei and Microsoft, displayed their

latest products at the exhibition, which covers nearly 30,000 square meters.

A total of 54 globally renowned companies took part, including ARM, Microsoft,

Tesla, Siemens, Fanuc, and Huawei participated. Marc Tarrago, director of the

organizing committee of the IoT Solutions World Congress (IOTSWC) held in

Barcelona, Spain, also attended, marking the collaboration of two of the

world's premier IoT events. Over 500 enterprises participated in the expo, with

an estimated offline attendance of over 200,000 people.

"We have brought charging robots for electric vehicles and power grids using

digital twin technology to the exhibition, and visitors can experience our

products by just wearing a pair of VR glasses," said Yue Yun, with State Grid.

Dubbed an "IoT city", Wuxi currently has more than 3,000 IoT-related companies,

with an output value of more than 350 billion yuan (about 49 billion U.S.

dollars). At present, the scale of Wuxi's Internet of Things industry ranks

first in Jiangsu province; the output value of its integrated circuit industry

is second only to that of Shanghai, and it leads the formulation of over half

of the IoT international standards.

Nestled on the banks of Lake Taihu, Wuxi was originally established in 202 BCE

and later became a hub for rice and textile exports with the opening of China's

Grand Canal. More recently, the city became known for its well-developed

manufacturing industry. But over the last thirteen years, Wuxi has grown once

more, from a modern industrial and commercial base to an advanced manufacturing

city synonymous with the IoT.
