The platform, which has now connected over 910,000 agricultural machines, compiles real-time operational data dailyThis collective analysis of data helps provide an understanding of the overall operational status of agricultural machinery across the country, thereby allowing for more effective resource allocation.

The Xuanwu District is not just stopping at agricultural machinery; it is actively seeking to innovate consumer experience by creating more captivating urban tourism identitiesNanjing Dashqi Digital Technology Co., a leading provider of holographic display technology, is at the forefront of this innovationAccording to the company’s founder, Zhou Quan, their use of holographic technology provides a richer and more diverse array of visualizations for dataThis capability not only enhances aesthetic appeal but serves practical functions, making complex data easier to understand and interact with.

In February, Xuanwu District rolled out a plan designed to bolster the innovative development of the data elements industry

By leveraging its high-quality resources in the digital industrial chain, Xuanwu became a pioneer in Jiangsu in exploring new avenues for data industry growthThis initiative led to the establishment of the "Jiangsu International Data Port," which aims to create scenarios for data valuation, trial systems for data element structuring, and exploration of mechanisms for data marketization.

Among the significant achievements of the Jiangsu International Data Port is the introduction of the battery passport systemIn collaboration with the China Battery Industry Association, a strategic partnership was formed to construct a data empowerment system centered around battery passportsBy employing precise data analysis, this system provides thorough and insightful battery data support for enterprises, delving into various applications of battery data within the financial, manufacturing, and other sectors, thus underpinning the digital transformation of businesses.

Moreover, the value chain of data in Xuanwu District continues to extend and deepen

In April, the Xuanwu Lake Large Model Industry Sharing Conference took place, during which the "Xuanwu Large Model Factory" was officially inauguratedThis factory, founded in collaboration with a team from Tsinghua University, focuses on innovative research and development within the realms of artificial intelligence, computational power services, data application, and ecological constructionBy tapping into the latent values of data, the factory aims to train these data points into functional models, fostering an environment for developing a large model industry that transforms data into services, which ultimately helps companies reduce costs and enhance efficiency.

In July, another landmark development occurred when iFLYTEK set up its national headquarters for new code models in the Xuanwu District's Xuzhuang High-tech ZoneThe decision to establish a presence in Nanjing was largely attributed to the concentration of university resources in the city, which offers a significant advantage in terms of innovation, as highlighted by Zhu Jianfei, head of the investment office of the Xuzhuang High-tech Zone Administrative Committee
