MICROSOFT Corp will invest 300 million yuan (US$48.4 million) in the next three years to set up a research and service center in Wuxi in Jiangsu Province, the company said yesterday.
Expected to create 600 jobs within three to five years, the new center will open next year.
The facility will help Microsoft and the Wuxi government to cooperate on building an intelligent city, cloud computing, software and intellectual property protection.
The center represents Microsoft's commitment to China, which has become the world's biggest personal computer and mobile phone markets, Barbara Gordon, Microsoft's vice president, said in a statement.
The Wuxi center will be Microsoft's second regional base on the Chinese mainland, after its Shanghai headquarters.
Microsoft said last month it will start public cloud computing services in Shanghai, the first overseas firm to be approved to do so. It also launched its latest Windows 8 system for PC users and Windows Phone 8 for smartphone users in the country.
