Five parks from Optics Valley of China (OVC) have been selected as Hubei Renowned Software Parks by the Hubei Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology, encompassing comprehensive parks, specialized parks, specialized buildings, and OPC (One Person Company) eco-communities.

These software parks – Wuhan Software New City, Wuhan Optics Valley Software Park, Optics Valley AI Park, Optics Valley Dream Workshop Building 4, and Hubei Youth Entrepreneurship Park (Optics Valley) Demonstration Park – were recognized for their prominent leading industries and distinct industrial characteristics. 

The department will provide tiered cultivation and dynamic management, offering preferential support in policies, projects, funding, and talent. Parks with strong foundations are encouraged to strive for recognition as national software parks.

Several parks have signed agreements to host new enterprises. Notably, Wuhan Software New City has signed agreements with Hubei Baijierui New Materials Co and Wuhan Chaoxun Interactive Entertainment Technology Co.

For four consecutive years, Wuhan's software industry growth has ranked among the top in China's 14 software cities. OVC serves as the core hub for Wuhan's software industry, with a strong focus on developing industrial and artificial intelligence software, advancing industrial software testing, and building an open-source ecosystem.
