AII Expands Work Scope in 2017

CAICT established the Alliance of Industrial Internet (AII) in 2016 and has been working diligently to study the future of industrial data and the technology behind digitizing manufacturing processes. On June 10, 2017, AII hosted their 4th meeting in Shanghai where Yu Xiao Hui led a discussion on future development plans. The Shanghai Economic and IT Commission and Lingang District Government supported the work and AII also announced that they will establish a second office in Shanghai set to open at the end of June. AII is working with the government to write an updated Industrial Internet Framework and establish an industrial internet innovation center.
