Jülich is a historical city bordering the Netherlands and Belgium with a history spanning more than 2,000 years. Its R&D and educational sectors are well-established and developed. The globally prestigious Research Center Jülich, which focuses on research into the structure of materials, energy, information, and the environment is the largest of its kind in Europe.

Relations between Taicang and Germany are long established and prospering. Germany has launched and funded more than 260 projects in Taicang, making the city a home to German businesses in China. And the "Taicang Day" campaign the city started in 2008 to promote Taicang in Germany has played a critical role in fostering business ties.
