Big data, big changes

Since being approved to build China's first big data comprehensive environmental zone in early 2016, a number of great changes have taken place in Guiyang, Guizhou province, improving people's work and lives in the process.

The approaching International Big Data Expo 2017, to be held in Guiyang, will gather international and domestic companies, scholars and experts to discuss the latest achievements and future trends of big data.
