I-M-WAY sets out to offer clear path to tech upgrading of traditional industry

The new Intelligent Manufacturing Way, or I-M-WAY - a 380-meter-long avenue located in Zhongguancun Science Park in Beijing's Haidian district - is aiming to become a landmark for intelligent manufacturing and boost the transformation and upgrading of China's traditional manufacturing industry.

Its creation also echoes the Made in China 2025 initiative, a 10-year program that aims to transform China from being a manufacturing giant into a world manufacturing power.

As the country's tech hub, Zhongguancun has gathered a large number of software companies and hardware retail shops.
