Southwest China's Guizhou province has maintained the top digital economy growth rate in China for six years and is home to the world's most super-large data centers.

In recent years, Guizhou has strived to cultivate a big data electronic information cluster for the whole industry chain, including upstream-downstream industrial clusters for data centers, intelligent terminal industrial clusters and data integration industrial clusters.

Guizhou's advantages in big data development have attracted international big data enterprises, such as Apple, Microsoft, Intl, Alibaba, Huawei and Tencent, to invest. Statistics show that Guiyang and Guian New Area had more than 5,000 big data enterprises in 2020.

During the 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016-20), Guizhou's business revenue from the software and information technology service industry, added value from the electronic information manufacturing industry, and business revenue from the telecommunication services sector had annual increases of 19.3 percent, 19.6 percent and 6.8 percent, respectively.

Guiyang and Guian New Area have been approved as a national big data industry development cluster, a big data industry technology innovation pilot area, a national big data and cybersecurity pilot city, a national technical standard innovation base, a national demonstration city for information consumption and a demonstration base for data centers in South China.

Currently, Guiyang and Guian are focusing on cultivating three industrial clusters for data centers, the electronic information manufacturing industry and the software and information technology service industry. Each cluster is expected to generate 100 billion yuan ($15.62 billion) of output value per year.

In the future, Guizhou's big data electronic information industry will focus on investment attraction, major project construction, cultivation of key enterprises, services for operations and dispatching, and breakthroughs in key technologies.
