On February 1, the DingTalk · 2026 Su Shang (Nantong) Entrepreneurs Conference and the "Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative" Enterprises High-Quality Development Summit were grandly held in Nantong, Jiangsu. Co-hosted by DingTalk and the Jiangsu Su Shang Development Promotion Association, the event focused on the transformation and upgrading paths of "specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative" enterprises under the "AI+" trend. It attracted more than 100 industry leaders, experts, scholars, and corporate representatives to participate, delving into digital transformation, intelligent innovation, and how artificial intelligence is deeply reshaping business operating models to help small and medium-sized enterprises move toward a new stage of high-quality development.
The New Era of Human-AI Collaboration Officially Begins
In his keynote speech, Wang Yuan, Secretary-General of the Alibaba Research Institute, pointed out that we have fully entered a new era of human-AI collaboration. Artificial intelligence is no longer a passive tool but is gradually becoming a "digital colleague" within enterprises. The operating model of enterprises is shifting from the traditional "human using tools" to a new model of "human-AI collaborative work." AI can not only handle repetitive tasks but also help build private knowledge bases and intelligent systems for enterprises, enabling process automation and intelligent decision-making, thereby completely unleashing organizational productivity.

Wang Yuan further explained that DingTalk has built a three-in-one ecosystem loop of "platform + partners + customers," giving AI planning and judgment capabilities similar to the human brain. Several well-known enterprises, including FAW Group, Sanhua Holding, and Youcheng Machinery, have already achieved deep human-AI collaboration through the DingTalk platform. He likened computing power to the body and AI question answering to the senses; their combination gives rise to a brand-new collaborative civilization.
Data shows that more than 80% of the Fortune China 500 companies in the Nantong region have now entered the practical application phase of AI through the DingTalk platform, demonstrating strong momentum in digital transformation.
AI Assistants Lead Enterprises Toward Smart Manufacturing
At the event, Gong Man, a DingTalk solutions expert, shared several successful cases. She emphasized that in the future, the competitive divide among enterprises will no longer be determined by scale but by "whether they make good use of AI"—meaning a clear gap will emerge between "AI-savvy enterprises" and "enterprises that have yet to embrace AI."
DingTalk's enterprise-level AI assistant development and management platform enables enterprises to independently create custom AI assistants while retaining control over their security permissions, allowing for centralized deployment and compliant operations of large numbers of AI assistants.

Taking Shandong Weiqiao Pioneering Group, one of the top ten private enterprises in China, as an example, the company has successfully implemented intelligent agent applications across nine scenarios—procurement, production, supplier management, and others—by leveraging DingTalk's AI technology. Through these intelligent systems, Weiqiao has achieved functions such as automatically asking procurement-related questions, tracking order data throughout the entire process, and intelligently linking product models with delivery progress, significantly optimizing operational efficiency and driving a leap from traditional manufacturing to "smart manufacturing."
Gong Man stated that DingTalk's AI platform is particularly well-suited to support "specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative" SMEs, helping them achieve efficient collaboration and sustainable growth.
She also noted that the current development of AI has gone beyond pure software and extended to the hardware level, enabling human-machine interaction to be integrated into real physical environments. For example, the entire conference was recorded by DingTalk's self-developed hardware, the DingTalk A1 voice intelligent assistant, which automatically generated meeting summaries and full transcripts after the event, showcasing the practical benefits of software-hardware integration. By integrating "software + hardware + real-world enterprise management experience," DingTalk provides comprehensive digital transformation support for different industries.
