In the next two months, Putuo District will launch the first Digital Economy Innovation Ecosystem Season, beginning with the inauguration of the Haina Digital Innovation Center. Through three high-profile conferences, it aims to establish a complete ecosystem loop of "infrastructure—technology integration—industry implementation."
The three conferences will focus on data element circulation to promote data cooperation in the Yangtze River Delta, explore the integration paths of digital technology and the real economy, and pool international resources to support the synergy between technology and industry. Additionally, the conference will unveil the "People.cn-Putuo District 828 Data Hub" platform and a series of key projects in the data innovation field.
The Haina Digital Innovation Center, a core hub integrating green technology, smart scenarios, and an innovative ecosystem, is located at 55 Yueyaquan Road in the Zhenru area of Putuo District. Resembles both a "moon" and a "ship," it symbolizes a vessel of innovation navigating through the digital blue ocean. As the "smart brain" of Haina Town, the center spans over 12,000 square meters, combining research offices, exhibition spaces, and event venues.
Currently, new research institutions such as the Haina Academy of Engineering, led by Academician Wang Jian, and the Fields Institute of Science have settled in, dedicated to exploring the construction of urban intelligent public platforms. This forms a "three-town linkage" with Hangzhou TheCloud Town and Wuxi Xuelang Town, promoting the sharing of digital innovation resources in the Yangtze River Delta.
"This is not just a laboratory for technological innovation, but also a model for sustainable urban development," said Chen Xia, deputy chief planner of the Zhenru Subcenter. The Haina Digital Innovation Center, Putuo's first green carbon-neutral building, is considered an industry benchmark in the green and low-carbon field. The building integrates technologies such as photovoltaic power generation and light storage direct flexible systems, with an annual power generation of 128,800 kWh, reducing carbon emissions by 54.5 tons.
