The 60 IoT projects will come from participants of the "Hai Chuang Jiang Nan" IoT Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, which was held for the first time this year to attract more resources, create a better atmosphere for IoT innovation and entrepreneurship, explore new IoT technologies, products and applications, and strengthen the role of IoT in industrial transformation and upgrading.

As the top IoT expo in the country, the event was first held in 2016. This year's expo was held from August to November both online and offline in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the aim of showcasing the full range of IoT industrial development.
