On October 30, the opening ceremony and main forum of the 2026 Global Data Ecosystem Conference were held at the West Bund International Convention and Exhibition Center in Xuhui, Shanghai. With the theme "Symbiosis of Data and Intelligence, Connecting the World," this year's conference was for the first time guided by the World Data Organization (WDO), and through an integrated activity system of "conference, business, exhibition, and application," built a platform for high-level dialogue, industry matchmaking, achievement showcases, and public experience in the global data element field. Xia Bing, Member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the National Data Administration, Yang Jie, Secretary-General of the World Data Organization, and Chen Jie, Member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Vice Mayor, attended the opening ceremony and delivered remarks; Zhang Ying, Deputy Secretary-General of the Shanghai Municipal Government, and others attended relevant segments of the main forum.
In the achievement release segment of the main forum, the "Joint Action to Promote the Innovative and Coordinated Development of Shanghai's Data Elements," led by the Shanghai Municipal Data Bureau and jointly initiated by Shanghai INESA (Group) Co., Ltd. together with Shanghai Data Group and industry ecosystem partners, was officially launched. Representatives from government departments, state-owned enterprises, research institutions, and the industrial ecosystem jointly took the stage to launch it, collectively releasing five major actions to the global data ecosystem and forging synergy for the coordinated development of Shanghai's data industry.
The five major actions closely follow the main line of reforming the market-based allocation of data elements and cover key links in unlocking the value of data elements: improving the mechanism for soliciting and matching public data needs from society, and smoothing the service chain of "raising needs—matching resources—forming data-use plans—continuous follow-up"; relying on the public data authorized operation system and data innovation laboratories to deepen scenario innovation in key fields such as finance, people's livelihood, and urban governance; connecting young scientists, universities and research institutes with computing power and scientific data resources to empower scientific research innovation and achievement transformation through Data for Science; systematically advancing the sorting, cataloging, development, and utilization of data resources of municipal state-owned enterprises; and, around the construction of the national blockchain network and the digital development of aviation and trade, jointly building an open-source smart contract community and expanding trusted collaborative applications to fields such as healthcare and food safety. The actions will connect the conference releases with continued implementation and represent an important practice for Shanghai in deepening the development and utilization of public data and cultivating and strengthening the data industry ecosystem.
As one of the main initiators of the joint action, Shanghai INESA is deeply involved in the planning and implementation of the action. The group's subsidiary Yunsai Shuzhi independently developed the "One Question, Data Use" demand-solicitation intelligent agent, enabling intelligent matching among the public data authorized operation catalog, the open catalog, and data products, and supporting the construction of channels for matching public data with social needs; it was opened for public trial during the conference. Relying on the "Zhi'ai Saisi" scientific intelligence platform under its intelligent computing segment, it integrates scientific research agents, computing power, scientific data, and toolchain resources to actively support the scientific data empowerment action; around the development and utilization of state-owned enterprise data, it has worked with municipal state-owned enterprises to sort out task lists and typical scenarios that can be launched; and together with blockchain ecosystem partners, it is advancing the co-creation of the smart contract community, forming trusted application practices such as data on-chain and QR code traceability in fields such as food safety. During the conference, the group also participated in key segments of the main forum, including the release of high-quality benchmark datasets, centrally demonstrating INESA's layout and achievements in the integration of data elements and artificial intelligence.
Shanghai INESA will take the release of this joint action as an opportunity to work with all participants and industry ecosystem partners to continuously refine the task lists and cooperation mechanisms, promote the five major actions to form a batch of replicable and promotable benchmark scenarios and landmark achievements in key fields, and contribute INESA's strength to the high-quality development of Shanghai's data element market and the building of "Digital Shanghai."
In addition to jointly initiating the five major actions, at the main forum of the conference, Shanghai INESA also participated in multiple important segments, including the "Data Elements ×" competition awards, the dialogue between teenagers and entrepreneurs, and the release of "Zhi'ai Saisi" high-quality benchmark datasets.
"Data Elements ×" Competition Shanghai Division Awards: INESA Project Wins First Prize
During the conference, the award ceremony for the Shanghai division of the 2026 "Data Elements ×" Competition was successfully held. The project "Zhi'ai Saisi-Based Collaborative Circulation Platform for Super-Intelligent Integrated Computing Power and Scientific Data Elements," jointly submitted by Shanghai Intelligent Computing Technology Co., Ltd., under Shanghai INESA, and Shanghai Silang Technology Co., Ltd., stood out from numerous entries and won the "Open Innovation Track First Prize" for its innovative practice of aggregating scientific research data through a computing power foundation and promoting the circulation of elements through an open ecosystem. Zhang Ying, Deputy Secretary-General of the Shanghai Municipal Government; Sun Shengli, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Party Secretary of the Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; and Hu Jianbo, President of the National Data Development Research Institute, jointly presented awards to the winning projects.
The main forum of the conference held a themed dialogue titled "Who Defines the Next Era?—Industry Practitioners Dialogue with AI Natives," in which Zhou Yuxiang, founder of Black Lake Technology, exchanged views on the same stage with youth representatives. Jia Mingyu, national champion of the embodied intelligence track of the first Youth Artificial Intelligence Competition, explored the future landscape of the intelligent era from the perspective of an AI native.
