GUIYANG, China, The 2016 Guiyang International Big Data Expo officially opened at Guiyang International Eco-Conference Center on May 25. The Expo is jointly organized by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China,the Office of the Central Leading Group for Cyberspace Affairs of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the People’s Government of Guizhou Province, with Huanqiu.com acting as the event’s official overseas PR partner.

The expo forms part of the 2016 Guiyang Big Data Industry Summit and China’s E-commerce and Innovation Development Summit.
According to Premier Li, big data and other new internet technologies have already changed the world profoundly, which has lead to all countries standing on the same starting line of scientific and technical revolution. “We should develop a sharing economy,” said Li, “so as to let more people have equal opportunities to work and start their own business, and let people better enjoy the harvest of reform and development.”
While Silicon Valley in the U.S. has been the pioneer of Hi-Tech innovation in the IT era, Guiyang is regarded as ‘China’s Digital Valley’ and is expected to be the pioneer of big data in the DT era.
The city has established the first key laboratory for big data strategy and launched the first all-domain public free WiFi in China. It has cultivated the big data development theory with block data and is an enthusiastic promoter for establishing China’s first big data public platform based on block data aggregation.
Guiyang is also dedicated to creating China’s first model city for opening government data. The city has opened China’s first big data exchange center and is now focusing on constructing China’s first big data industry development cluster.
