A well-equipped industrial chain provides opportunities for enterprises, especially those making chips, cars and spare parts, to cooperate and grow, said Shen Xiaoyan, deputy manager of the Industrial Internet Innovation Center (Shanghai).

Jinqiao highlights the development in three powerful industries -- future motors, intelligent manufacturing and mass video communications.
