Zhangjiagang, a county-level city in Suzhou, East China's Jiangsu province, was recognized as a leading smart city for the third year in a row for its outstanding performance in digital public services and the development of a digital government during the 23rd China High-Tech Fair.
A technology known as robotic process automation (RPA) has been put into use in many departments in the city to increase staff efficiency in handling items.
Zhangjiagang and Huawei have reached a framework agreement on deepening cooperation to accelerate the government's digital transformation, and Zhangjiagang Big Data Co Ltd has become the first pilot company for Huawei's smart city operating partner system.
In addition, the Baidu Cloud Computing (Zhangjiagang) Center has set up operations in Zhangjiagang high-tech area, and scientific and technological enterprises such as Beijing AsiaInfo and Shanghai Netis Technologies Co Ltd have reached cooperation agreements with relevant districts and towns on investment in the digital industry.
