Dynamic Intelligent Control is based in “Shanghai Silicon Alley”, a specialized sci-tech innovation block created by Changning District. Zhang Wei noted that this cooperation should serve as a new starting point for deeper collaboration with Shanghai Electric in the field of urban renewal, transforming underutilized spaces into vibrant innovation hubs that better support urban development.
