In November 2020, the Wuhan Industrial Investment Development Group and Huawei inked a cooperation agreement to jointly build Wuhan Cloud. "Wuhan Cloud provides cloud computing services for governments and enterprises, making data storage and analysis more centralized, efficient and secure," said Zhong Shoucheng, chairman of the Wuhan Cloud Computing Technology Co., Ltd.

On the same day, the Wuhan Cloud Digital Economy Industry Innovation Consortium was established, which is composed of enterprises and universities such as FiberHome, Tencent, KylinSoft, Wuhan University, and Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Also opening up was the Wuhan Digital Economy Headquarters Area that mainly accommodates cloud computing businesses. Currently, 17 leading companies have signed agreements to settle at the area.
