The 2025 Green Computing Power (Artificial Intelligence) Conference opened on July 12 in Hohhot, the capital of north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, under the theme: “Jointly Building a Green Computing Power Ecosystem and Shaping a New Future of AI.”
The event brought together more than 500 participants, including officials from national ministries and regional governments, academicians, experts, and representatives from across China’s computing power supply chain.
During the conference, the national pilot project for computing-electricity coordination under China’s integrated computing power network was officially launched. Additionally, the opening of the Horinger Financial Data Industrial Park was announced, alongside the release of several public data initiatives in Hohhot, such as the 2025 Green Computing Power Development Research Report.
Ten major industrial projects worth 20 billion yuan (approximately 2.8 billion USD) were signed during the event, signaling solid progress in industrial collaboration.
The conference was hosted by the Hohhot Municipal People’s Government and organized by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT), the Horinger New Area Administrative Committee, and the Hohhot Big Data Administration. The agenda included an opening ceremony, keynote speeches, one main forum, and nine thematic sessions.
In recent years, Hohhot has emerged as a hub for computing power and AI development, thanks to its strategic role in China’s “East Data, West Computing” initiative and the synergy it has fostered between power supply, network infrastructure, and data resources. The city has attracted a range of data center projects from telecom operators, financial institutions, and other major players.
Looking ahead, Hohhot remains committed to driving high-quality development in Inner Mongolia and supporting the broader growth of China’s digital economy.
