In the new era led by digital transformation and intelligent upgrading, the scale and quality of a city or region's digital economy have become important indicators to measure its core competitiveness and development potential.

In the past, the urbanization process was mainly marked by the prosperity of real estate; Nowadays, promoting the integration of production and quantity, reshaping the industrial pattern, is the driving force of urban modernization. Various industrial parks and new development zones are in the ascendant, and the aggregation effect of the digital economy is increasingly evident.

Of course, in the process of the rapid increase in urban content, there are also many challenges. The convergence of advantageous resources such as talent cannot be achieved overnight, and the technological innovation of enterprises and the digital leap of the industry are also thorny. Without strong platform support and professional services, it is difficult to turn a grand blueprint into reality.

It is in this context that "city partners" in the field of digital economy are increasingly favored, and the construction and evolution of innovation platforms are also highly anticipated. Recently, at the opening ceremony of Nanjing Digital Intelligence City and the 2023 Huawei Cloud Developer Day event, the Huawei (Nanjing) Developer Innovation Center was officially launched.

As the first developer innovation center in East China, Huawei (Nanjing) Developer Innovation Center was jointly established by the Nanjing Jianye High tech Zone Technology Industry Development Zone Management Committee, Huawei Cloud Computing Technology Co., Ltd., and Beijing Zhongsoft International Information Technology Co., Ltd. It is committed to building a first-class and internationally renowned industrial innovation center and ecological service platform in China, and helping Jianye District in Nanjing cultivate an independent innovation software and hardware ecosystem, Gather more outstanding partners and top talents to promote high-quality development of regional digital economy.

It is obvious that using innovation centers as carriers and leveraging "public service platforms+expert services" to drive technological innovation and business acceleration has become a trend. The exploration and practice of Huawei (Nanjing) Developer Innovation Center has a demonstration effect, setting a benchmark for the evolution of the new digital economy ecosystem.

Building a new growth pole in the digital economy highland

Jianye, named after the capital of Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms, is one of the central urban areas of Nanjing. It borders the Yangtze River to the west and the Qinhuai River to the east, with an area of approximately 82 square kilometers. It is the main body of the newly planned and constructed Hexi new urban area in Nanjing.

In recent years, Jianye has continued to deeply cultivate the leading industry of "finance+digital economy", with the agglomeration degree and scale of the financial industry ranking first in the city, and the proportion of core industries in the digital economy ranking second in the city. Among the top 20 internet enterprises in China, 13 have landed, gathering over 40 headquarters enterprises related to the digital industry and over 1800 digital economy enterprises. The industrial agglomeration effect is constantly showing, and it is becoming a "new growth pole" of Nanjing's digital economy.

In the new highland of the digital economy, opportunities and challenges coexist, and finding heavyweight partners to work together is the only way. In June 2022, Huawei signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Nanjing City to become a "city partner" and jointly build the "One Network Unified Management" Nanjing Huawei Joint Innovation Laboratory for urban operation. The laboratory has settled in Jianye District, taking joint innovation as an opportunity to create a first-class smart city one network unified management innovation incubation base and a leading urban governance system.

From the perspective of role positioning, "urban partners" are not only the guides for the regional digital economy to reach a higher level, but also the practitioners who solve practical pain points and optimize development patterns. Huawei's cooperation with Nanjing has been continuously deepening, with the establishment of the Urban Hongmeng Industrial Park and Developer Innovation Center in Jianye District. This park is the largest urban science and technology innovation carrier in the main urban area of Nanjing, with convenient transportation and complete urban functions such as living and consumption; The developer innovation center can better gather developers and assist in industrial development.

Developer Innovation Center's "Four Wheel Drive" Catalytic New Ecology

It is not difficult to see that the developer innovation center is the driving force behind the "urban partnership" model to move forward in depth, and it is also a powerful lever for achieving leapfrog growth in the regional economy. Whether the potential value of developer innovation centers can be fully explored will determine the upper limit standards and health indicators for local digital economy development.

It is worth noting that the recently launched Huawei (Nanjing) Developer Innovation Center will gather various forces to explore the optimal evolution path. On the one hand, relying on the overall layout of the Nanjing Hongmeng IoT perception system, fully leveraging the location, industry, and policy resource advantages of Jianye District Hongmeng Industrial Park; On the other hand, based on Huawei's over 30 years of experience in technological innovation and digital transformation in the ICT field, as well as its deep accumulation in the development and ecological cultivation of Hongmeng industry, we aim to create a developer innovation service platform for technology co construction, talent co training, product co sales, and commercial co operation, promoting the improvement of enterprise competitiveness and accelerating the industrial upgrading of Jianye District.

Firstly, leveraging platform empowerment to create a highland for developer innovation is an important mission of Huawei (Nanjing) Developer Innovation Center.The Developer Innovation Center will focus on the city of Hongmeng and provide end-to-end cloud full stack independent innovation technology services such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data, and Hongmeng, focusing on the leading industries in Jianye District. It will create an independent innovation intelligence network ecosystem in the form of platforms and services, helping enterprises build data-driven, agile, and efficient digital management capabilities, making Jianye District a highland for national developer convergence and Hongmeng industry innovation.

Secondly, building joint innovation solutions through application demonstration is the landing path for Huawei (Nanjing) Developer Innovation Center.The Developer Innovation Center will focus on the direction of urban lifeline safety engineering, smart water, smart transportation, smart parking, and smart finance, deeply collaborate with central enterprises, provincial and municipal state-owned enterprises, and top enterprises in the zone, promote Hongmeng adaptation and independent innovation, and safeguard the digital transformation of enterprises.
