The conference is part of Wuxi's cultural industry investment promotion trip in the Greater Bay Area. During the trip, the Wuxi delegation is expected to visit top local cultural companies and related institutions and government departments and arrange several business negotiations.

In February, Wuxi officials led a business delegation to the Greater Bay Area to seek comprehensive cooperation with the region.
