The municipal government has held discussions with Inspur Software, Uroica (Shandong) Mining Technology and other companies to develop the digital transformation roadmap, decide on the goals and select the solutions. At the same time, drawing on the talent pool of digital economy majors graduating from Shandong Agricultural University, the city designed a training program for the development of the digital economy with a focus on the application of big data to reach the necessary goals. The end-goal is to create a top notch talent team to complete the city's digital transformation mission.
In addition, with the support of Taishan Digital Valley, Tai'an Innovation & Startup Center (New Eastern Urban Area), China Electronic IT Innovation Industrial Base, Taishan Big Data Industrial Park, the municipal government is speeding up the construction of Taishan Digital Industrial Park in the city's High-tech Zone, while driving the development of the digital economy through the construction of additional digital parks.
