industry, setting a 2030 goal to expand industry scale to 4 tln yuan and
industry value added above 1.1 tln yuan. The plan positions AI-enabled

intelligent services, and the formation of internationally competitive industry
bases and regional clusters to strengthen Shanghai’s role in global competition.
