A number of leading information and communication enterprises of "national brand name" gathered in Jianghan District.
The digital economy is becoming a key force in reorganizing global factor resources, reshaping the global economic structure, and changing the global competitive landscape. In recent years, the Party Central Committee has attached great importance to the development of the digital economy and elevated it to a national strategy.
In the face of the new opportunities brought by the digital economy to the city to "change lanes and overtake", Wuhan has taken advantage of the momentum to achieve a key leap towards the goal of a first-tier city in the digital economy by building a solid "base" for the digital economy, promoting the development of digital industry clusters, and empowering the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries.
Science and technology return to the city, and the digital industry in the central urban area set sail. The 13th Congress of the Communist Party of China in Jianghan District of Wuhan City proposed that to actively serve and integrate into the new development pattern and build a prosperous, vibrant, beautiful and happy socialist modern and outstanding urban area, we must innovate and empower, lead the dynamic change, and promote the factor-driven to innovation-driven.
28.29 square kilometers, the smallest in the city, 647,900 people, the largest density. Under the guidance of the development concept of "smart growth" and "compact city", the digital economy is regarded by Jianghan District as the only way to promote urban transformation and industrial upgrading in the new era.
"First-mover advantage" turned into "leading strength" Initially formed the fourth pole of the leading industry of the digital economy
Among the new landmarks of Wuhan's industry that will rise in 2021, "Wuhan Cloud" is undoubtedly a bright representative.
"Wuhan Cloud" is the country's first "city cloud" jointly built by Wuhan and Huawei, as the digital "base" of Wuhan, helping to accelerate the construction of a new smart city, promote the modernization of social governance and develop the digital economy.
Since its launch on September 4, 2021, Wuhan Cloud has connected 24 Wuhan government departments and urban areas, and 166 application systems. Among them, the cloud migration rate of Wuhan municipal departments is more than half, and the relevant services of various cities in the Wuhan city circle are accelerating the "unlocking".
Why was this important project of Wuhan accelerating the construction of a new smart city born in Jianghan?

Jianghan District has become the first batch of 5G global application pilot areas in China and the first in the province, and has taken the lead in achieving full 5G network coverage in Wuhan.
