Hefei, Huzhou, Jiaxing, and Ningbo are all looking up at the sky information industry | Sky | Hefei, Huzhou, Jiaxing, and Ningbo
At the beginning of this year, Anhui Sine Space Science and Technology Co., Ltd. was officially registered in Hefei. This enterprise mainly produces commercial aerospace meteorological data products, which are provided to customers after the production and processing of meteorological satellite big data. For example, it predicts the fluctuation of electricity prices for photovoltaic enterprises based on lighting time, or provides rain and snow weather forecasts and precise positioning navigation for logistics enterprises. It belongs to the middle reaches of the aerospace information industry chain. The headquarters of Sinusoidal Space was originally located in Beijing, but now, all research teams in Beijing will be relocated to Hefei soon. The general manager of the company, Yin Hui, stated that the reason for choosing Hefei is because the local government has provided strong support for the development of the entire aerospace information industry. On the one hand, based on the characteristics of the enterprise, Hefei will create some application scenarios for it, so that the enterprise can have a targeted approach. On the other hand, Hefei also has well-established supporting policies for relevant talents, providing talent subsidies, talent apartments, and office spaces. "At present, Hefei has formed a cluster of aerospace information industry, forming a complete closed-loop industrial chain. As a midstream enterprise, it will be more convenient for us to connect upstream and downstream, and there will be more exchanges and interactions among peers." Yin Hui said. Indeed, Hefei Zhong'an Chuanggu Science and Technology Park has recently been listed as the "Hefei Aerospace Information Industry Park", where many enterprises in the aerospace information field gather, and Zhongke Xingtu is one of them. At the beginning of last year, Zhongke Xingtu established four subsidiaries in Hefei: Xingtu Earth, Xingtu Measurement and Control, Xingtu Intelligence, and Beidou Fuxi. In just one year, a team of over 500 people has been established. Among them, Xingtu Earth Company has achieved product digitization through deep integration of satellite remote sensing data, cloud computing, high-performance computing, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence technology, based on completely independent intellectual property rights. It has released the GEOVIS Earth online digital earth series products for the mass market, which have been applied in scenarios such as agriculture and forestry, water conservancy, education, and smart city construction. Tang Deke, Senior Vice President of Zhongke Xingtu and Executive Vice President of Xingtu Earth, frankly stated that Hefei provides great assistance to enterprises. Here, there is a strong industrial cluster, a strong atmosphere of scientific and technological innovation, and abundant cross-border talent resources such as artificial intelligence. "Our company hopes to benchmark against top foreign companies such as Google Earth. Therefore, in addition to conducting commercial exploration of some products, we also need to deeply solve some scientific problems in order to have a lasting competitive advantage. This requires more research and investment. With the support of the Hefei Municipal Government, the Zhongke Xingtu Digital Earth Science Center has also started construction," he said. In the future, the Digital Earth Science Center will mainly be used to promote the research and innovative application of GEOVIS Earth's online digital earth products. In recent years, building dreams and seizing opportunities in the aerospace information industry have become the development goals of many cities in the Yangtze River Delta. Taking Hefei as an example, since the end of 2021, the city has signed 40 new aerospace information projects, with an agreed investment of over 30 billion yuan, and gathered over 80 aerospace information industry related enterprises and innovation platforms. Suzhou is also unwilling to fall behind. Taicang City has been laying out its aerospace industry since 2019. Currently
