Investment attraction a priority for Guiyang

The electronic information manufacturing and software information service industries have been a focus of Guiyang's investment attraction efforts in recent years.

This year, Guiyang has steadfastly implemented a strategy of innovation-driven development led by big data, sped up the construction of multiple big data centers, cultivated the server and storage device industries, supported the development of key enterprises and attracted cloud service and data processing companies in an attempt to bolster the transformation of the real economy.

Now, a number of quality electronic information manufacturing and software information service projects are being built in the city, including a cloud-computing big data center, digital economy industrial park, intelligent and digital production line for electronic relays and control assemblies, the Guizhou headquarters of Hikvision Digital Technology Co and a precision conductor industrial city project.

Guizhou Eterncloud Information and Technology Co, a cloud-featured headquarters company and subsidiary of Jiangsu Etern Co Ltd, was founded in Guiyang's National High-tech Industrial Development Zone in 2021, with a plan to invest 100 million yuan ($14.54 million) in a cloud platform and cloud application service project.

As a digital service company, it has developed a cloud big data platform to help governments and other companies with data management, AI data modeling and intelligent data application. Meanwhile, the company has worked with such leading companies as China Unicom, China Mobile, China Telecom, Huawei, and Guizhou-cloud Big Data on big-data application, security and trade.

"Guiyang's big data development has brought enormous development and cooperation opportunities. Our company has been developing rapidly since we set up operation in the high-tech zone," said Zeng Xiongya, vice general manager of the company. It has been expanding its businesses related to livelihood, government affairs, culture and tourism, financial insurance, vehicles, education, medical treatment and retail. Its sales revenue exceeded 40 million yuan in 2022.

The company is the epitome of the high-tech zone's investment attraction efforts. In recent years, Guiyang National High-tech Industrial Development Zone has been striving to promote the integration of big data and real economy, cooperate with China (Nanjing) Software Valley to build a wisdom valley software park, attract and foster a group of leading software and information technology service companies, facilitate Guiyang's construction of three industrial clusters of data center, electronic information manufacturing, software and information technology service, each worth over 100 billion yuan, as well as to inject new momentum into Guiyang's quality economic growth.

Guiyang will take the 2023 Big Data Expo as an opportunity to introduce more quality projects concerning industries upstream and downstream of the electronic information manufacturing and software information service industries, advance the digital industrialization and industrial digitalization, and build itself into a "strong provincial capital."
