Digital Prosperity for Shanxi, Intelligence for a New Journey | 2026 Shanxi IT Application Innovation Summit and GBASE Database China Tour Conclude Successfully

Recently, the 2026 Shanxi IT Application Innovation Summit and GBASE Database China Tour were held in Taiyuan. Under the theme "Digital Prosperity for Shanxi, Intelligence for a New Journey," the event focused on building the IT application innovation ecosystem and establishing an autonomous, controllable digital foundation.

The event was co-hosted by GBASE (General Data Technology Co., Ltd.) and HIGON Information, with Weaver Network, Kylin Software, and TongTech as co-organizers. It brought together numerous guests and expert representatives from relevant government departments and upstream and downstream enterprises across the industry chain. At a pivotal moment when digital transformation and the IT application innovation industry are accelerating, participants gathered around the theme to discuss pathways for independent innovation and ecosystem collaboration — injecting new vitality into the region's IT application innovation industry.

The conference opened with remarks by Mr. Chen Mingzhi, General Manager of GBASE's North China Market Division.

He noted that Shanxi is coordinating digital infrastructure and IT application innovation industry development around its resource-based economic transformation. The computing foundation continues to strengthen, and a complete industry chain — spanning chips, operating systems, complete machines, and application integration — has taken shape. IT application innovation is advancing steadily in government, energy, and finance, creating broad market opportunities for domestic foundational software companies. As a leading domestic database provider, GBASE has consistently prioritized independent innovation in core technologies and built a full-stack, scenario-based product portfolio. GBase database delivers high availability, high security, and high performance, enabling smooth replacement of foreign databases in both mission-critical and analytical scenarios. It currently serves tens of thousands of users across over 100 industries, with more than 100,000 running nodes, over 500 PB of data under management, coverage across all 33 provincial-level regions in China, and exports to more than 50 countries.

He noted that GBASE has long been deeply engaged in the Shanxi market and has earned recognition from the provincial party committee, government departments at all levels, and users in government, finance, and telecommunications. Going forward, GBASE will work closely with ecosystem partners including HIGON Information, Weaver Network, Kylin Software, and TongTech to deliver full-stack solutions spanning "foundational software — compute engine — application services," building on security and driven by innovation to support the construction of "Digital Shanxi."

During the keynote session, Mr. Wang Hailiang, Technical Director at GBASE, presented "GBase Database Empowering a Full-Scenario Digital Foundation for Shanxi."

He introduced GBASE as one of the few independent database service providers in China focused exclusively on database product R&D, with large-scale deployments across finance and telecommunications. The company has built a full-stack domestic database portfolio covering transactional, analytical, and distributed multi-model scenarios:

• GBase 8s, the secure database, delivers high availability and high security, capable of replacing Oracle and Oracle RAC clusters in over 90% of scenarios.

• GBase 8a, the large-scale distributed parallel database, supports hundreds-of-billions to trillions-scale data analytics, with over 45,000 deployed nodes and over 400 PB of data under management across finance and telecommunications.

• GBase 8c, the multi-model, multi-form distributed database, supports HTAP and vector multi-modal scenarios and ranked first in the industry on the HyBench benchmark.

Drawing on benchmark case studies including Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of China, China Mobile, the China Meteorological Administration, State Grid, and Sinopec, GBase database serves critical sectors including finance, telecommunications, government, energy, and transportation. In the government sector, beyond supporting national platforms such as the Ministry of Finance's national budget aggregation system, GBase also powers the Ministry of Civil Affairs' Golden People Project — providing a high-availability data foundation for unified service reception and social assistance. Locally in Shanxi, GBase has been deployed at the Shanxi Development and Reform Commission, the Shanxi Department of Finance, Jinshang Bank, Shanxi Mobile, and Taiyuan Rail Transit, among many other government and industry customers. He stated that GBASE will continue to focus on database software products and services, striving to become the most trusted database provider for its customers.

Mr. Xu Tao, Database Tuning Expert in the Ecosystem Development Department at HIGON Information Technology Co., Ltd., presented "Compute as the Foundation, Data as Symbiosis | HIGON Information & GBASE: Strategic Collaboration in the AI Era."

He noted that compute is the engine of the digital world, and databases are the cornerstone of data assets. HIGON processors and GBASE's GBase database have undergone continuous deep adaptation and optimization, achieving underlying software-hardware co-optimization to deliver a stable and reliable integrated domestic solution. At a new stage of accelerated AI adoption, the two companies are pursuing an ecosystem strategy of strategic collaboration, working together to deepen deployments in government, finance, and enterprise sectors, and jointly advancing IT application innovation. Going forward, both parties will continue to share joint deployment practices and technical achievements, explore pathways for building domestic compute and data foundations, and jointly build secure and autonomous digital infrastructure.

Mr. Zhao Jianwei, Deputy General Manager of Weaver Network Technology Co., Ltd.'s Shanxi Region, presented "Introduction to Weaver Network and Its Digital Intelligence Products."

He introduced Weaver Network as a company with over 20 years of deep expertise in collaborative management software, operating over 300 city operation centers nationwide and forming a nationwide "2-hour service circle." Its services cover 87 industry segments and over 85,000 medium-to-large organizations.
