Also, they can realize joint development and achievement tranfermation through technological platform, realize competition and mutual service through project platform and realize financial service through financial platform.
Presidnet of ZTE ITS, Liu Haifeng said that ITS companies is facing many problems like scale limitation, weak strength of monomer, weak power of R&D technology, a lack of financial support and ability limitation of undertaking large scale projects. ITS industry chain hasn't been effectively integrated and there's no efficient cooprerative platform so that companies have to face competition alone. As the center and demonstration area of national sensor network, Wuxi has strong strength on product R&D, system integration, solutions, service modes and resource integration. ITS companies and R&D institutes in Wuxi has a better competitive basis at home and abroad. Therefore, we hope ro centralize resource to Wuxi by establishing this alliance so that ITS companies can give play to advantages of cost, technology and scale and that all companies on the chain can develop together.
It is reported that Wuxi has established 6 large industry alliances, including ITS, IA, IE, IHC, IH and IV. The 6 alliances are the 6 professional organizations that Wuxi governemnt puts great emphasis on. In the future, the integrated effect of the 6 alliances will promote rapid development of Wuxi internet of things industry.
