With the mission of "winning recognition for innovation", Jiangmen always has its finger on the pulse of innovation.

The Jiangmen CTO Shen Qiang stressed in his keynote speech that "Intelligent applications will develop in the direction of verticalization, ubiquity and systemization; the revival of IoT will promote the upgrading of services, creating new industry driving forces like products as services, space as services, and facilities as services.
