New digital economy industrial park to be built in Guian

The Guian CEC OVU Digital Economy Industrial Park project was signed into effect in the Guian New Area in Southwest China's Guizhou province on Nov 30.

The project will be constructed in the Guiyang big data sci-tech city by Guian New Area Development and Investment Co and Wuhan Optics Valley United Group Ltd, with a total investment of 30 billion yuan ($4.31 billion) and a planned construction area of 430 hectares.

The project is a response to the national strategy to channel more computing resources from the east side of the country to the less developed western regions, and will increase big data application scenarios in terms of both depth and scope.

It will also promote the integration of digital technologies with all other aspects of economic and social development and will aid in the building of a big data hash power industrial cluster in the new area.
