Shanghai Pushes to Turn ‘Space Compute’ into a Strategic Industry — UCloud CEO Urges Labs, Standards and Cross‑Regional Clusters

Ji Xinhua, chairman of cloud firm UCloud and a Shanghai municipal delegate, has urged the city to fast‑track “space compute” by creating a dedicated funding programme, a national key laboratory, in‑orbit testbeds and industry alliances. His proposals span hardware, software standards for domestic GPUs, an AI‑for‑Science compute pool and regional cooperation to position Shanghai as a hub for a strategically important, fast‑growing sector.
