On November 27, Wang Jianfeng, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, met with Frank Natus, CEO of NATUS GmbH & Co. KG, Germany, and his delegation. The two sides exchanged views on further deepening cooperation

Wang Jianfeng extended a warm welcome to Frank Natus and his delegation. After briefly introducing Changzhou’s history and its current economic and social development, he noted that Germany is an important trading partner for Changzhou, with many German multinational enterprises thriving in the city. In recent years, Changzhou has adhered to the principles of establishing the city through industry, strengthening it through manufacturing, and revitalizing it through quality. The city has steadily advanced the construction of a “1028” modern industrial system, with rapid growth in sectors such as new energy and new materials, while emerging future industries like low-altitude economy and artificial intelligence are accelerating their development. He expressed hope that the NATUS Group would further expand its investment in Changzhou, deploy more innovative resources and high-quality projects, and achieve a higher level of mutual benefit and shared success. Changzhou will continue to foster a first-class business environment characterized by market orientation, rule of law, and internationalization, sparing no effort to provide high-quality services and create even better conditions for enterprises to develop in the city.

Frank Natus expressed his gratitude to the municipal and district Party committees and governments of Changzhou for their longstanding, strong support as well as their efficient, pragmatic, and considerate services to the enterprise. He remarked that over the 16 years since establishing operations in Changzhou, he has witnessed the city’s developmental dynamism and efficiency, which has further strengthened his resolve and confidence in remaining and deepening roots in Changzhou. The new industrial park invested in and built in Changzhou serves as an integrated R&D and production base for the NATUS Group in the Asia-Pacific region. The group will continue to channel advanced technologies and capital support into Changzhou, leveraging NATUS Changzhou as a hub to further integrate into the Belt and Road Initiative and access broader international markets. Additionally, the group is extending its product offerings into the low-altitude economy sector, hoping to explore more collaborative opportunities with Changzhou and jointly create new economic growth points.
