The Jiangsu Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology issued
the Jiangsu "AI+" Industrial Software Breakthrough Development Action Plan for
2026–2028, outlining five priority tracks: building industrial software
development capacity, upgrading software vendors with AI, using industrial
software to empower manufacturing, cultivating innovation carriers, and
optimizing the industrial-software ecosystem. Key measures include targeted R&D
on core underlying AI+ industrial software technologies and tighter integration
of AI capabilities into industrial software; development of new service
formats—model-as-a-service, agent-as-a-service and outcome-as-a-service—and
promotion of result-based and usage-based billing models; construction of
high-quality industrial datasets and data–model co‑optimization; accelerated
establishment of industrial software research institutes and local innovation
centres for pilot testing, compatibility/adaptation and application promotion;
and incentives such as compute, model and token vouchers to lower barriers to
enterprise AI adoption.
