Web helps to foster business success in Zhejiang

The Internet has played a vital role in spurring innovation and fostering industrial upgrading in Zhejiang province, top officials said on Tuesday.

Wu Junqing, deputy director of the Zhejiang Province Economic and Information Commission, said traditional manufacturers in the province were able to accelerate the pace of industrial upgrading thanks to the lessons learnt from last year's World Internet Conference.

"With the success of the first World Internet Conference last year, 'Internet' has become a hot word in the province. Information technology is now the main driving force for the industrial upgrading of traditional manufacturing industries," he said.
