The 2026 China International Big Data Industry Expo opened on August 28 in Guiyang, the capital of southwest China’s Guizhou Province. As a major national event for the digital industry, the expo has evolved into an important global platform for technological exchange, industrial cooperation and the commercialization of innovative achievements in the big data sector.
Under the theme “Token: A New Path to Value of Data Elements,” this year’s expo features five key areas focusing on computing power infrastructure, data supply, model-driven development, security assurance and intelligent experiences. The event has attracted more than 300 leading exhibitors from China and abroad, showcasing the latest developments and applications in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, data security and digital technologies.
For domestic industrial collaboration, the event has joined hands with four distinctive industrial parks to organize targeted special trade and matchmaking sessions, aiming to accurately connect upstream and downstream industrial resources. Meanwhile, it has also partnered with more than 30 overseas enterprises to carry out a series of cross-border exchange and docking activities, further boosting international cooperation, resource sharing and business expansion in the big data sector.
As the permanent host of the China International Big Data Industry Expo, Guiyang and the adjacent Gui’an New Area have long been committed to developing the big data industry and building a world-class digital industrial cluster. Up to now, the region has aggregated 26 large-scale or above data centers, with its total computing power capacity exceeding 174 EFLOPS. Intelligent computing accounts for over 98% of the overall computing power, and the average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of local data centers stands at a low level of 1.19, reflecting outstanding efficiency and green, low-carbon operation advantages in national digital infrastructure development. Driven by the booming big data industry cluster, the revenue of the software and information technology services industry in the area has surpassed 100 billion yuan, marking a solid leap onto the 100-billion-yuan industrial development stage and laying a solid foundation for the sustained and high-quality development of China’s digital economy.
