The region has formed a strategic pattern of "one core leading, three radiating circles, and multiple support points," attracting over 1,500 AI enterprises and surpassing a hundred billion yuan in industry scale. Local officials further interpreted policies, introducing 18 measures including support for core entities, computing power subsidies, and data provisioning—offering up to 100 million yuan in industry scale enhancement support and services like "computing power vouchers." Guided by the spirit of President Xi’s speech, Xuhui is committed to an "ecosystem-first" approach, making the interconnected ecosystem a norm and striving to establish a globally influential AI hub.
During the enterprise speaker segment, leading AI companies shared their success stories in Xuhui.
