EnglishThe Jingchu region, known as the "crossroads of nine provinces," is leading Wuhan's wave of innovation in the AI era, with its high-tech parks—represented by Optics Valley—as the driving force. On December 19, the Ding Summit was held in Wuhan, bringing together hundreds of corporate representatives and industry professionals to explore the practical transformation of "work models in the AI era." Participants included century-old industry leaders and emerging tech companies.
Artificial Intelligence Driving Industrial Innovation
In his opening remarks, Liu Liangbo, a member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Hubei Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology, pointed out that artificial intelligence has become the core driving force behind the new round of technological revolution and industrial upgrading, profoundly reshaping industry structures and work methods. He predicts that by 2025, the scale of Hubei's AI industry will exceed 150 billion RMB, with an average annual growth rate of about 35%, demonstrating strong development momentum.
Liu Liangbo emphasized that the provincial department of economy and information technology will move toward "intelligentization, greenization, and integration," striving to build an internationally competitive AI industry cluster. He specifically acknowledged DingTalk, Alibaba's platform, for actively addressing the digital needs of Hubei's small and medium-sized enterprises, providing comprehensive technical support, and playing a key role in promoting local AI applications and digital transformation. He expressed hope that more high-quality companies like DingTalk will continue to focus on, invest in, and serve Hubei, bringing cutting-edge corporate transformation experiences to jointly build a collaborative, empowering industrial ecosystem that helps the manufacturing sector improve quality and efficiency.
A Century-Old Huaxin Embraces a Digital Future
Among the many companies seizing the opportunities of AI-driven transformation, Huaxin Building Materials Group, with a history spanning more than a century, stands out. Its predecessor, Huaxin Cement, was founded in 1907 and is headquartered in Huangshi, Hubei. It is one of the oldest and most prominent companies in China's cement industry, having participated in major national projects such as the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge and the Three Gorges Dam.
Tang Jun, Vice President of Huaxin Building Materials Group, shared at the summit with a smile: "Companies that choose to use DingTalk generally perform well in terms of stock price. We officially launched DingTalk around May last year—take a look at our market performance."
After evaluating several mainstream collaboration platforms, Huaxin Building Materials ultimately chose DingTalk. Tang Jun said, "We had in-depth discussions with various vendors, but our decision to adopt DingTalk was not influenced by sales pitches—it was a deliberate choice made after careful consideration."
He believes that what companies need is not just a communication tool but a forward-looking intelligent management ecosystem that can empower organizations with smart operational capabilities in the AI era. After a comprehensive evaluation, DingTalk best aligned with the company's long-term strategic goals.
Currently, Huaxin Building Materials operates in 14 countries and owns more than 30 factories, with over half of its overseas entities already using DingTalk. In the future, the platform will gradually be rolled out across the entire group.
Tang Jun concluded, "If digital transformation is pursued solely with the goal of cost reduction and efficiency gains, it often fails. But truly successful transformation inevitably leads to both improved efficiency and optimized costs—because these are not the starting point, but rather the outcomes."
Next, Wu Jing, Senior Manager of the Process Information Department at FiberHome Technologies, took the stage to share her insights. Continuing Tang Jun's theme, she joked, "We are also a publicly listed company—feel free to keep an eye on our stock price, which has shown a clear upward trend since we integrated with DingTalk."
Wu Jing started by addressing the company's real pain points: During the pandemic, employee communication was scattered across multiple platforms, including WeChat, QQ, and email, leading to fragmented office environments and low collaboration efficiency. After several rounds of discussion and planning, FiberHome Technologies built a unified collaboration platform based on DingTalk, completing system deployment in just three months and migrating more than 8,000 employees within a week.
As a technology company that places a strong emphasis on R&D, information security is a top priority, with extremely high requirements for data isolation and permission control. Wu Jing noted that DingTalk's intelligent collaboration architecture provides a robust security framework, effectively meeting the company's needs for managing confidential data.
Looking ahead, she is highly optimistic about DingTalk's AI capabilities, particularly its low-code development platform and AI sales assistant, which she sees as key areas for the company's next phase of deployment.
DingTalk Reshapes the AI Work Model
Zhao Zhong, Vice President of DingTalk, outlined the platform's strategic vision based on AI development trends: "DingTalk is not simply 'AI plus'—we are determined to completely reconstruct ourselves with AI."
Zhao Zhong believes that the future of work will shift to a "human-assisted, AI-driven" model. Through demonstrations of end-to-end features such as AI hardware, AI voice recording, and AI electronic forms, DingTalk is exploring new collaboration experiences. Among these, AI electronic forms hold the potential to become a super entry point, integrating multimodal data and leveraging built-in computing power to handle complex analytics and business processes, driving business model upgrades and helping enterprises achieve breakthroughs in their operations.
