Inspired by the success of Bangalore on the information technology (IT) front, this city in north-east China has set for itself an ambitious target of becoming world’s top IT centre within a decade and stand in the same league as India’s ‘Silicon Valley’.
A scenic coastal city set among green hills, Dalian has already attracted a large number of international and local corporations to set up regional bases for information technology outsourcing (ITO) and business process outsourcing (BPO) services. Among these are 34 Fortune 500 companies. “By 2017 or 2018 we hope to be a peer with Silicon Valley (of America) and Bangalore,” said Dalian Mayor Xia Deren.
