Over the past few years, the district has been diligently working towards achieving breakthroughs in this domain, resulting in significant progress and promising outcomes.

In 2022, the combined revenue generated by the internet and related services, software, and information technology sectors within the district reached an impressive 964 million yuan ($13.63 million), catering to the needs of the burgeoning digital landscape.

A notable player in this sector is Haohuo (Guizhou) Network Technology Co, which operates the Haohuo Cloud platform. One of the primary functions of this platform is to facilitate flexible employment, offering services such as job-matching and training to workers.

It has effectively utilized technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and cloud computing to establish an intelligent warehousing system, complete with intelligent robots. This state-of-the-art facility has significantly enhanced space utilization and reduced warehousing costs, contributing to improved operational efficiency.

In addition to the advancements in the business sector, Wudang has also directed its efforts towards improving healthcare services by constructing a digital hierarchical diagnosis and treatment platform. This innovative initiative aims to establish seamless connectivity between hospitals, township health centers, and community health service centers, ultimately benefiting the local population through improved access to quality healthcare services.
