Data bureau heads from seven cities in Jiangsu Province and Shanghai’s Putuo District gathered at Haina Town recently to jointly sign the "Shanghai-Nanjing Industrial Innovation Belt" data and government service cooperation mechanism at the Haina Conference.
This initiative marks a fresh exploration of regional integration in the Yangtze River Delta, positioning Putuo's Haina Town as a pivotal hub for data flow, industrial collaboration, and coordinated administrative services.
According to the cooperation agreement, the "seven cities and one district" will establish regular coordination channels to jointly transform isolated data "islands" into productive economic "elements" and cultivate seven replicable benchmark projects to create high-quality data sets.
Each of the "seven cities and one district" has its own strengths and focuses, and data cooperation allows them to transcend geographical constraints, creating more possibilities for advancing the construction of the "Shanghai-Nanjing Industrial Innovation Belt."
Currently, Nanjing, leveraging platforms like the Purple Mountain Laboratories, has achieved global and national leading technology results in deterministic network technology and is committed to advancing AI application scenarios.
Suzhou and Wuxi have complete data infrastructure and intelligent industry systems, leading in data integration, government-enterprise collaboration, and intelligent industrialization.
Nantong has accumulated a wealth of high-quality data sets in high-end textiles and shipbuilding.
Taizhou, as a national pharmaceutical city, is exploring the integration of the health industry and data economy.
Putuo District, utilizing Shanghai's advantages in talent, capital, and market, has gathered a number of functional platforms providing industry data empowerment for the Yangtze River Delta and nationwide.
"Haina Town's novel research institutes, open-data platforms, and 'challenge-based' solution mechanisms provide an ideal testbed for technological breakthroughs along the innovation belt," said a Putuo Data Bureau official.
