The Zhitong Finance App learned that from September 21 to 23, the Jiangsu E-commerce Innovation and Development Conference was held at the Nanjing International Exhibition Center. The conference was hosted by the Provincial E-Commerce Association. The theme was “Smart E-commerce Wave Chain Industry Development” to explore new ways artificial intelligence can empower e-commerce.
At the opening ceremony of the conference, JD Industrial (07618) and Ante (Changzhou) Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. formally signed a cooperation agreement to officially launch the “Industrial Product B2B Empowerment Project” to participate in the construction of a B2B digital service ecosystem for industrial products. According to the plan, JD Industrial will export product banks, intelligent fulfillment and data operation capabilities to regional industrial enterprises and industrial clusters, open up supply and demand links between suppliers and manufacturing enterprises, promote the integrated implementation of online trading, centralized procurement, and intelligent execution of industrial products, and help manufacturing enterprises reduce procurement costs and improve supply chain operation efficiency.
Jiangsu is a major manufacturing province. In 2025, the value added of the province's manufacturing industry reached 4.77 trillion yuan, accounting for 13.8% of the country's share and 33.5% of GDP, all ranking first in the country; the manufacturing high-quality development index was number one in the country for five consecutive years. The manufacturing industry is large and diverse, which also means that industrial product procurement chains are long and suppliers are scattered, and manufacturing companies' demand for online transactions, centralized procurement, and intelligent contract fulfillment continues to rise.
As a leading industrial supply chain technology and service enterprise in China, JD Industrial continues to build a “digital highway” for the digital supply chain of industrial products in Jiangsu, connecting large enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises, small and micro enterprises and overseas markets with the “One Product Connect Four Terminal” capability to help upstream industrial products enterprises broaden channels, accurately match demand, and improve the efficiency of supply and demand coordination. At the same time, relying on integrated digital and physical industrial supply chain solutions, industrial enterprises in Jiangsu can reduce procurement costs, improve supply chain operation efficiency, and promote industrial product procurement from scattered and inefficient to sunny, transparent and digitally intelligent operation. Through the deep integration of platform resources with local industrial belts and industrial clusters, JD Industrial is providing a replicable digital intelligence path for the transformation and upgrading of Jiangsu's industrial supply chain.
In recent years, JD Industrial has carried out in-depth practices of digital intelligence in supply chains in many cities in the province. At the beginning of 2026, JD Industrial signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with Suyu District of Suqian. The country's first urban flagship store and industrial product supply chain innovation service center were simultaneously launched to promote the integration of local industrial enterprises into the JD industrial supply chain system. In Kunshan, Suzhou, Jingdong Hardware City opened its first park store in the Huaqiao Economic Development Zone. Relying on an online product pool of over 50 million SKUs and an offline “localized service+instant fulfillment” model, it achieved supply chain responsiveness with 2-hour delivery within 3 km of the surrounding area. In the steel industry, JD Industrial and Zhangjiagang Yonggang Group reached a strategic cooperation around the digital intelligent transformation of the procurement supply chain to jointly build a high-quality data set for the steel industry through AI material recognition and intelligent matching capabilities. In September 2025, JD Industrial also signed a strategic agreement with the Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology to cooperate on the joint construction of the robot industry supply chain, the construction of a digital procurement platform for industrial products, and the digital transformation of the manufacturing supply chain to help Nanjing build a “Nanjing model” for the digital intelligence supply chain.
The continuous layout of JD Industrial in Jiangsu is forming a complete path from strategic collaboration between government and enterprise to deep cultivation of the industrial belt to precise empowerment of small and medium-sized enterprises. The implementation of this agreement will further establish a “digital highway” to more industrial parks and enterprises, and set a benchmark for supply chain collaboration in the deep integration of “Jiangsu Intelligent Manufacturing” and the e-commerce ecosystem.
