The signing ceremony brought their strategic cooperation to a new stage of all-around implementation. It took a mere 43 days to go from negotiations to operations, a new record for launching large projects in Chongqing.
The project will forge an ecosphere of intelligent security and artificial intelligence and develop Chongqing into a competitive research center and industry base with international competitiveness.
Tsinghua Unigroup will combine local production, education, research and applications to build a new smart city with a flourishing digital economy.
By offering cloud services for governments, industries and enterprises, Unigroup will coordinate government administration with underlying data from State-owned business to gain traction among industries and enhance innovative social administration.
As a world-class high-tech industrial giant, the company will also attract upstream and downstream enterprises to expand industrial clusters and improve service facilities to draw more top talents.
The cooperation agreement is a key step for Liangjiang New Area and Chongqing Municipality as they unfold a series of high-quality development projects.
John Edwards, the UK trade commissioner for China, praised Chongqing over its rise as a burgeoning center in intelligent manufacturing.
