On a 112-square-meter LED screen, information on Wuxi's economy, social governance, ecological environment and public services passes by.

The intelligent platform in the city's operation and management center hall has collected video resources from emergency, public security and transportation authorities and about 21.68 billion pieces of data from 45 departments.

Since the "digital Wuxi" construction and development plan was released in 2002, the city has formulated city-level public data management measures.

Key industries of Wuxi's digital economy exceeded 600 billion yuan ($83.82 billion) in 2021.

The Wuxi big data management bureau was founded in 2019. It is responsible for tasks such as the implementation of national big data strategies and planning of the city's digital transformation.

The region systematically and mechanically prepared for the significant digital change more than three years ago. Its Liangxi district also set up a big data management bureau in 2019.

The Wuxi public data management measures document was carried out in 2020.

This year, the city established a leading team for digital economy acceleration and digital transformation. It comprises six groups of digital economy, governance, government affairs, life, ecology and infrastructure.

Revenue of companies above designated size from Wuxi's key digital economic industries rose 16 percent year-on-year in 2021. The city reached all-around strategic cooperation with companies such as Tencent, Huawei and JD and tried to attract others including ByteDance and iFlytek to develop business in Wuxi that year.

The city is boosting both its real and digital economy. Eleven companies have been evaluated as provincial-level intelligent manufacturing model factories since the beginning of this year, ranking first in Jiangsu province, where Wuxi is seated, with Suzhou and Changzhou cities.

Wuxi plans to integrate the real and digital economy and build itself into an intelligent manufacturing pilot area during the next three years. This year, the city aims to build 4,100 5G base stations and foster one to two companies worth more than 10 billion yuan from the digital sector.

An application with a rhinoceros icon opened the door to digital life for local residents in Wuxi in 2020. The application, called Lingxi, has offered 840-plus service affairs involving pandemic prevention and control, healthcare and transportation.

To date, more than 12.7 million people have used their real full names to register on the application. The daily maximum of its active users surpassed 7 million.

A big data transaction company began to operate in Wuxi on March 28.

The city established a comprehensive data trade platform to gather data supply and demand parties and professional service providers.

Wuxi has stepped up the city's promotion regulations for digital transformation and the release of related systems involving data resource governance, operation of new digital infrastructure, data ethics and cybersecurity guarantee.

The city's big data management bureau has organized the Jiangsu big data development and application competitions for three consecutive years.

Data security is the bottom line of the digital economy, local media reported. The city is developing its urban big data center security system that covers the life cycle of data.

It is also advancing growth of organizations such as Wuxi Big Data and the Wuxi Institute of Digital Economy.
