With almost 1,500 firms taking part, a conference to discuss action plans and guidelines for development of the G60 High-tech Corridor was held in suburban Songjiang District on Tuesday.

The corridor has created over 14 industrial alliances and 11 industrial cooperation demonstration areas, contributing a total output of 3.2 trillion yuan (US$496.3 billion) in 2020.

The conference introduced technical requirements for the corridor’s industrial chain and launched the 2.0 version of a digital science cloud platform to provide technological and innovative services for enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta region.

“The corridor will build a cross-regional industrial cooperation platform to promote alliances amongst companies like COMAC, and Tencent,” said Liu Fusheng, deputy director of Songjiang. Industry leaders are confident that the Corridor will take China’s economic, technological, and innovative growth to new heights.
