The Rhein-Neckar region is a German economic powerhouse, home to over 100,000 enterprises and Europe's largest chemical industrial zone. In May 2019, Taicang forged a partnership with the region, laying a solid foundation for a wide range of collaborations.

As part of their expanding partnership, in November 2024, a letter of intent for cooperation between the Taicang-Rhein-Neckar Innovation Center and special education schools was signed, marking an important step forward for collaboration in the field of special education.

Building on their existing partnership and inter-regional development cooperation, according to the agreement signed on July 30, the two sides will engage in exchanges and collaboration in areas such as knowledge sharing, scientific guidance, and social participation. Their joint efforts aim to promote inclusive education and social engagement for individuals with physical and mental disabilities, improving their educational and living conditions.
