The Inspur Big Data Innovation Center was inaugurated and officially put into operation in Jinan Innovation Zone on Feb 22.

The center will be powered by Inspur's Tianyuan platform, an online e-commerce platform for big data that already houses more than 51,200 terabytes of data to fuel local high-tech companies and the big data sector in the city. To date, more than 20 companies have settled in the center.

Inspur Group, a Chinese information technology giant headquartered in Jinan, will develop the center into an entrepreneurship ecosystem with data-driven innovation and a professional incubator featuring big data.  

As the leading Chinese cloud computing company, Inspur has joint hands with the Jinan government in promoting the sharing of public information resources and providing convenient online services for local residents.  

In recent years, the Jinan Innovation Zone has made great efforts to build an ecological environment suitable for innovation and entrepreneurship and has rolled out a series of policies in talent training. It has also cultivated more than 10 national maker spaces, areas dedicated to innovation to boost local businesses.
