Jiangsu Province ranks among the top in comprehensive economic competitiveness within China's region, and is one of the most economically active provinces. Its per capita GDP has consistently ranked first in the country since 2009. Together with Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Anhui, it forms one of the six world-class urban agglomerations along the Yangtze River Delta. In the first half of 2021, Jiangsu Province's GDP reached 5519.963 billion yuan, a nominal increase of 18.14% year-on-year, ranking second in the country.
Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province and an important industrial city and economic center in the Yangtze River Delta region, is not only a hub city in the core area of the Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou economy but also an important transportation hub in East China, with a significant geographical location that connects the east to the west and runs through the north and south. In the first half of 2021, Nanjing ranked second in the province with a total GDP of 762.277 billion yuan, accounting for 13.89% of the province's total GDP. The gross regional product of Nanjing Economic Development Zone exceeded the 1000 billion mark, ranking ninth among national economic development zones in terms of comprehensive strength and fourth in terms of business environment. It has developed into an important national-level economic development zone in the Yangtze River Delta region, becoming the main battlefield and strategic position for Nanjing's industrial development and technological innovation.
Frost & Sullivan has a long-standing relationship with Nanjing dating back four years ago. The completed Frost & Sullivan Nanjing Research Institute was a key project in Jiangning District, Nanjing in 2018, undertaking the significant responsibility of promoting the innovative development of high-tech industries, facilitating the steady growth of emerging enterprises, and enhancing the overall national economic level. Today, the institute has provided diversified integration solutions for nearly a hundred hot industries, radiating and driving the innovative development of hundreds of enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta region.
In recent years, in the economic landscape and innovation coordinates of Nanjing, Nanjing Economic Development Zone has actively seized the construction and development opportunities in the Zidong area. Relying on its own industrial foundation advantages, it has pooled the efforts of three districts to lead the creation of China (Nanjing) Smart Valley. The valley has gathered over 300 artificial intelligence-related enterprises, more than 50 industry-leading talents, with the core industries accounting for nearly half of the city's output value, driving the related industries to exceed 70 billion yuan in scale. China (Nanjing) Smart Valley has become the most industrially concentrated, scientifically innovative, largest in terms of park area, best equipped with comprehensive supporting facilities, and has the optimal business environment among artificial intelligence industry bases within Nanjing and even Jiangsu Province. Whether in terms of industrial scale, concentration, or degree of innovation and openness, it provides a unique growth environment for an institution focusing on AI industry research.
In the future, Frost & Sullivan LeadLeo Artificial Intelligence Research Institute will continue to innovate and forge ahead. It will form a synergistic energy among multiple research institutes in Nanjing, empowering outstanding enterprises across various industries and providing professional knowledge services. Against the backdrop of the national '14th Five-Year Plan', it will contribute to promoting the development and construction of science and technology innovation industries and facilitating the deep integration of artificial intelligence technology with the real economy!
