BEIJING, July 22 (Xinhua) -- The China International Big Data Industry Expo 2024 will be held in Guiyang, the capital of southwest China's Guizhou Province, from August 28 to 30, said Liu Liehong, head of the National Data Administration (NDA), on Monday.
During the expo in Guiyang, the NDA will release reports on its achievements since its establishment in a series of press conferences, Liu said at a State Council Information Office press conference.
Often dubbed China's big-data hub, the mountainous province of Guizhou is China's first national big-data comprehensive pilot zone. It promotes the big-data industry as the backbone of its high-quality social and economic development.
The big-data expo is a valuable showcase for industry research reports, technical specifications and typical cases, according to Liu.
Since its inauguration in October 2023, the NDA has been promoting reforms related to the market-oriented allocation of data elements, said Liu at the press conference.
The NDA has also been coordinating the construction of Digital China, the digital economy and digital society to better serve the country's high-quality development, Liu said.
Liu added that the NDA will advance the building of a national computing power network and the implementation of the "Eastern data, western computing" project, a key part of China's digital infrastructure.
The project aims to coordinate the computing capabilities of the country's eastern regions, where the need for computing is high, with inland western regions, where abundant renewable resources are optimal for the construction of data centers.
China's digital infrastructure has greatly improved, with the scale of computing power reaching 230 EFLOPS in 2023, ranking second in the world, data shows. Enditem
