将目光投向高新区西北角，江苏省单体投资规模最大的外商投资企业——SK海力士、日本电子巨头村 田集团在海外最大生产基地之一，都坐落于无锡高新区综合保税区。 集成电路产业的发展必须根植于世界。在无锡集成电路产业的发展过程中，以SK海力士为代表的外资 企业带来了巨额投资和先进技术，也为无锡吸引了大量上下游配套企业。 今年7月，国务院批复同意无锡高新区综合保税区关于调整规划范围的请示，无锡高新区综保区将规划 调整设立新片区1.11平方公里。 "扩容"后的无锡高新区综保区，将为无锡集成电路产业带来哪些新可能？ 政策红利吸引外企 无锡高新区综合保税区于2012年4月28日获国务院批准设立，由2002年成立的原无锡出口加工区转型升 级而来。 无锡高新区综合保税区管理局局长王里成回忆道，中国加入WTO后，提出了"三来一补"的口号，即来 料加工、来样加工、来件装配及补偿贸易，这是中国改革开放初期创立的国际贸易模式。"这个时候我 们发现，要想参与国际竞争，需要在关税上保持与国际上最优惠地区相同的水平，这就是出口加工区的 由来。" 而随着经济发展，劳动密集型加工业逐渐暴露出缺点。2012年起，全国各地的出口加工区陆续转为综合 保税 ...
