Industry leaders including Deputy Director Jinling of Jiangsu’s Department of Transportation, Deputy General Manager Chen Xianghui of Jiangsu Communications Holdings, Director Ding Xiping of the Provincial Development & Reform Commission attended the seminar. Director Yangyang of JSTI Group hosted the meeting.


     Director Ding Xiping pointed out that the construction of a public service platform needs to be guided by market demand and requires solid technical understanding and team support to drive it. Deputy General Manager Chen Xianghui pointed out that the platform construction should go hand in hand with the adoption of new technologies such as Big Data, artificial intelligence and digitalization of work processes. As such, he encouraged JSTI to focus further on how new technologies can be adapted to add value to the industry and in particular digital safety platforms.
