In his speech, Academician Zhang Hongke, Honorary Chairman of NIDA, mentioned: "At a time when the Internet is developing rapidly, we urgently need innovative high-quality network communication technologies and systematic basic innovations, which is exactly the goal of NIDA. CENI and NIDA have a common vision and mission in promoting the development of the next generation of the Internet."
Liu Yunjie, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Director of Jiangsu Future Network Innovation Institute
Academician Liu Yunjie, Director of Jiangsu Future Network Innovation Institute, said: The innovation and application of network technology requires a large-scale, national-level experimental network platform. While CENI undertakes the task of experimental verification of key core technology innovation, it also supports scientific research and application innovation of cutting-edge Internet technology. This strategic cooperation with NIDA will surely accelerate the application innovation and technology implementation of the next generation of Internet technology.
Xu Zhijian, Director of CENI Project Management Department, said: In the future, CENI will join forces with NIDA to jointly promote the construction of a new global innovation ecosystem.
NIDA Secretary-General Deng Yiou said: CENI is the only large-scale network scientific facility in the country. It has built advanced network infrastructure covering major cities across the country and is an ideal experimental environment for network technology innovation. The strategic cooperation between NIDA and CENI can form a positive cycle of "innovation-experimentation-innovation", which is conducive to the implementation of network technology research and innovation.
