Yingtan, in northeast Jiangxi province, has long enjoyed a reputation as the cradle of China's copper industry. Benefiting from its unique advantages in copper resources, it is now the largest copper smelting and processing base in the country.

Adopting the concept of "intelligent development", the city has forged a new path to high-quality industrial development, and has become one of the municipal cities in the province with the highest industrial growth in recent years.

The city's success in being appointed as one of the pilot demonstration cities for the transfer and transformation of a National Science and Technology Major Project in September 2017 – specifically on the new generation of broadband wireless mobile communication network – brought new opportunities.

The city has to date planned six core industrial manufacturing clusters in the intelligent industry, such as wireless communication module, automobile sensors and new intelligent terminal, with the aim of becoming the manufacturing center for the internet of things (IoT) industry in Central China.

A major platform for Yingtan's mobile IoT industry development and China's first IoT demonstration town, the Smart Internet Town of Yingtan National Hi-Tech Zone has sped up construction of its initial development area, attracting a lot of high-tech companies, including Saite Intelligence, to settle there.
