A Microsoft Accelerator in Shanghai is contributing to the city’s innovation plans.
Political leaders in Shanghai want the Chinese city to be a ‘global innovation centre in science and technology’ by the end of this decade and an ‘eco-friendly metropolis’ that is home to 25 million by 2035.
The Microsoft Accelerator Shanghai, launched a year ago, has graduated 29 startups developing products using frontier technologies, including artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing and the internet of things.
