On July 3,JD Mall’s first store in Hexi has officially been signed and will be located at Jinsheng International Home Furnishings in Jianye,This immersive digital retail complex, spanning nearly 30,000 square meters, represents not only a strategic move by JD.com to further expand its presence in the Hexi area and deepen its roots in the Nanjing market, but also the fruitful results of Jianye District’s half-year-long efforts to attract investment.
Since the beginning of this year, Jianye has closely adhered to its core “All in AI” strategy and upheld its positioning of “finance as the foundation, innovation as the soul,” making multi-faceted efforts through chain-based investment promotion, capital-driven investment promotion, event-based investment promotion, and alumni-based investment promotion,Over the past six months, a total of 109 investment projects have been successfully secured, including 8 projects worth over 1 billion yuan and 4 projects worth over 5 billion yuan, with strong growth across multiple sectors such as the digital economy, artificial intelligence, modern finance, and emerging consumer markets.
Market Leaders Continue to Step Up Their Investments
Expansion of the Headquarters Economy Matrix
The mutual partnership between JD.com and Jianye is a true reflection of how leading companies continue to have high hopes for Jianye’s development potential.
As a long-term partner of Jianye, JD.com Group won the bid last year for a plot of land in the southwest part of the river to build its R&D headquarters, achieving “construction immediately upon land acquisition” and demonstrating the “JD.com efficiency” and “Jianye speed” in project implementation;
In May of this year, JD.com’s Jiangsu Regional Center officially opened, bringing together core R&D personnel from multiple sectors and laying a solid foundation for in-depth collaboration between the two parties; the launch of JD.com MALL has revitalized more than 25,000 square meters of existing commercial space, continuing to boost the region’s commercial vitality.
Led by the JD.com headquarters project, Jianye’s headquarters economy matrix continued to expand in the first half of this year, with various functional headquarters, regional headquarters, and comprehensive headquarters being established one after another. The “forest of headquarters” has grown increasingly lush, and the clustering effect of leading enterprises has continued to intensify.

Precision-Targeted Efforts in Key Areas
Deepening and Consolidating Diversified Industries
While the “Headquarters Forest” flourishes, the industry’s roots continue to grow deeper, and industrial布局 in various sectors are advancing further.
With artificial intelligence and the digital economy driving synergistic growth, New Industry Group and Haojing Technology have entered into a strategic partnership with Zhiyuan Robotics, a leader in embodied intelligence, while Duolun Technology and Zhongqing Robotics have established a joint venture called Qing'an Robotics,Luobo Duoduo (Nanjing) Intelligent Technology Officially Establishes Operations in Jianye... continues to deepen its focus on the embodied intelligence industry in Jianye; companies specializing in niche sectors, such as Anbotong Computing Power Technology and Haotang Technology, have successively established operations there, covering cutting-edge applications such as computing infrastructure and digital game operations. These projects complement and synergize with one another, continuously generating synergistic benefits for the industry’s development.
The industrial landscape in the digital energy sector is rapidly taking shape, with LinYang Microgrid, Sembcorp Jiangsu Energy, and Qianyao Technology successively establishing operations in the region. These companies are focusing on overseas microgrid construction, market-based electricity sales, and smart operation and maintenance of wind power facilities, injecting new momentum into the development of the green and low-carbon industry.
Emerging consumer sectors and high-end lifestyle services are simultaneously improving in quality. Kawangka, a leading “internet-famous” tea brand, has established its Jiangsu headquarters here, while Zhuozheng Medical—a healthcare provider listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange—has set up its regional outpatient headquarters, enriching the supply of high-quality medical services in Jianye and driving improvements in both commercial consumption and public services.
Empowering Through Financial Innovation
Gathering a Steady Flow of Resources for Science, Technology, and Innovation
The reputation of this core cluster area as a major financial hub continues to grow, and financial capital continues to bolster Jianye’s industrial sectors.
In the first half of the year, a number of major funds were established in the district. The Purple Mountain International Science and Technology Innovation Mother Fund—with assets under management of 10 billion yuan—the Jiangsu Science and Technology Innovation Relay Fund, and the Jiangsu Suhao Modern Service Industry Innovation and Development Fund have all been registered in the district. Several industrial funds, including the Nanjing New Consumption Fund, have also been established one after another, forming a comprehensive fund matrix covering science and technology innovation, the service industry, and new consumption. Two major 1-billion-level platforms—Guojin Shulian Technology and the Municipal Financing Guarantee Group—have successively established operations, continuously injecting momentum into industrial development. The remarkable achievements in attracting leading enterprises and establishing a comprehensive industrial layout across all sectors would not have been possible without the strong support of innovative investment promotion models and high-quality development platforms.
In recent years, Jianye District has moved beyond traditional approaches to investment promotion, using branded events to create platforms and the alumni economy to build bridges, thereby establishing multiple channels to connect with global capital, industries, and talent. A series of high-profile industrial events have become key platforms for facilitating project matchmaking and implementation.In the first half of the year, Jianye hosted 41 investment promotion events, including 12 major flagship events such as the Zhihui Jinling AI Open-Source Talent Summit and the 2026 Purple Mountain Venture Capital Conference, which brought together domestic and international science and technology innovation enterprises, venture capital firms, overseas trade representatives, and industry experts to exchange ideas.
In particular, all three Gold Award-winning teams from the AI Open Source Talent Summit have now established operations and moved into the venue, successfully achieving the goal of “attracting business through the summit and fostering industry clustering.”
