As a state-owned enterprise tasked with digital connectivity under the Belt and Road Initiative, building a digital Gansu, and advancing the digital economy, Silk Road Information Port Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Information Port Company") has leveraged innovation and reform to paint a vibrant picture of digital economic growth across the region. Over six years, the company has achieved a 60.37% increase in total assets and a 326.94% surge in total profits compared to the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan period, emerging as a benchmark for digital industrialization in Northwest China.
**Reform Breakthrough: Unleashing Internal Growth Momentum** Facing the digital economy wave, Information Port Company boldly restructured its systems. Its board now comprises a majority of external directors—13 industry experts who have contributed to key decisions such as computing platform development and IT innovation, avoiding three potential investment risks and securing two major tech collaborations. The company streamlined its organizational hierarchy, implementing term-based and contract-based management for 27 executives and 53 mid-level managers, fostering a dynamic talent ecosystem.
With a dual-track talent strategy combining in-house cultivation and external recruitment, R&D personnel now account for 33.05% of its workforce, including five provincial-leading experts and 16 PhDs. Over three years, the company allocated over 5.4 million yuan in talent incentives, creating a sustainable talent cycle. These reforms have transformed it from a traditional SOE into a modern digital enterprise.
**Innovation-Driven: Building a Digital Tech Hub** Information Port Company prioritizes R&D, boosting investment intensity from 0.23% to 6.8% and securing 23 patents and 229 software copyrights by October 2025. Key achievements include: - A hazardous-monitoring platform in Xinjiang’s Xinxing City enabling 24/7 surveillance with 5-minute alerts. - A one-stop e-government service platform covering 92% of services, reducing traffic congestion by 15%. - The "Long Ming Gong" platform overseeing 1800+ projects, managing 23 billion yuan in wages for 1.2 million migrant workers. - The "Long Yi Zhen" healthcare platform integrating 230 institutions, cutting wait times from 42 to 18 minutes with 100% satisfaction.
Other innovations include AI-assisted diagnosis (reducing misdiagnosis by 40%), smart traffic lights (a national "Data Element ×" case), VR experiences (10,000+ users), and drone nests for ecological patrols in Qilian Mountains.
**Ecosystem Development: Empowering Digital Transformation** As Gansu’s leader in industrial internet, big data, and cybersecurity, the company integrates resources from tourism, commerce, and transport hubs. Its national data infrastructure node in Gansu has cataloged 3,200+ public data resources, piloting agricultural data spaces in Zhangye and Jiuquan.
With 25 information platforms and 17 revenue-generating subsystems spanning industries, agriculture, and services, its "Industrial Brain," state-asset supervision, and "Cloud Village" platforms are deeply embedded in Gansu’s socio-economic fabric.
Looking ahead, Information Port Company will continue its reform-innovation-talent strategy, aligning with national goals to pioneer digital industrialization and industrial digitization, aiming to become a top-tier digital industry group and contribute Gansu’s model to China’s digital transformation.
