Jiangsu Province Action Plan for Promoting High-Quality Development of the Word-Based Economy (2026)

To accelerate the high-quality development of the province’s data-driven economy and secure a leading position in the new arena of the intelligent economy, the following action plan is hereby proposed.

I. Promoting High-Quality Supply of Data Resources

1. Build and Utilize High-Quality Datasets Effectively. Targeting data-rich sectors such as industrial manufacturing and urban governance, as well as innovative fields including the low-altitude economy, embodied intelligence, and intelligent driving, we will release a construction list for high-quality datasets along with supporting application guidelines, and build 2,000 high-quality datasets.We will plan and construct three data annotation bases and explore incorporating metrics such as annotation accuracy and model adaptability into the data quality evaluation system. We will organize a “Province-wide Tour” to match the supply and demand of high-quality datasets and promote the conditional, fee-based release of such datasets. (The Provincial Data Bureau and the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology are responsible according to their respective duties.)

2. Deepen the development and utilization of public data. Launch a public data campaign, advance “single-ledger” management, and deepen the “Get Public Data Moving” initiative.
