As 'China's Data Valley', Guiyang Set to Lead the Way in the International Big Data Industry

Premier Li Keqiang, officers from relevant government departments and other guests, adding up to more than 3,000 people, participated in the opening ceremony, with official statistics counting 17,244 visitors to the expo that afternoon. The expo forms part of the 2016 Guiyang Big Data Industry Summit and China's E-commerce and Innovation Development Summit.

According to Premier Li, big data and other new internet technologies have already changed the world profoundly, which has lead to all countries standing on the same starting line of scientific and technical revolution. "We should develop a sharing economy," said Li, "so as to let more people have equal opportunities to work and start their own business, and let people better enjoy the harvest of reform and development."

While Silicon Valley in the U.S. has been the pioneer of Hi-Tech innovation in the IT era, Guiyang is regarded as 'China's Digital Valley' and is expected to be the pioneer of big data in the DT era.

The city has established the first key laboratory for big data strategy and launched the first all-domain public free WiFi in China. It has cultivated the big data development theory with block data and is an enthusiastic promoter for establishing China's first big data public platform based on block data aggregation.

Guiyang is also dedicated to creating China's first model city for opening government data. The city has opened China's first big data exchange center and is now focusing on constructing China's first big data industry development cluster.
