Ⅱ. "A Tale of Two Cities": Bringing Together Silicon Valley and Beijing
In the course of development from "made in China to created in China" driven by cloud computing revolution, "Beijing and Silicon Valley" are just like "London and Paris" in the first industrial revolution are interconnected inevitably in the era of innovation. According to data from Economic and Information Commission of Beijing, software industrial scale in Beijing may hit RMB 400 billion in 2012, surpassing software city of the Europe Ireland, world-famous software city Bangalore. Therefore, it has acquired the fundamental requirements to be a world-level software city based on its strong development impetus, size, quantity and quality. The employment in software and information service industry of Beijing has already hit about 500,000, more than those of in the Silicon Valley area in the first half of 2012 only. Beijing, High-level forum on Beijing cloud computing 2012 was held in Silicon Valley in June 2012. Beijing and Silicon Valley jointly build up "two cites in a cloud computing era" by bilateral dialogues, bilateral cooperation and exchanges.The Cloud Valley World will be a continuation of idea sharing, assistant innovation and capital cooperation of "A Tale of two Cities" in order to jointly create a new information industry with complementary advantages and brain circulation.
Ⅲ. Bringing Together Manufacturers, Customers and Upstream and Downstream
2012 Cloud Valley World will also create a platform for enterprise interactions as well as for enterprise and customer interactions.

Moreover, interactions of industry chain and real-time exchange will be achieved through participation and sharing of application customers, partners and suppliers.Live show and interaction will be provided for products and services including next-generation data center created by Cloud Valley, super high performance cloud servers, SkyForm cloud platform of Skycloud Technology, big data platform of Beagle Data, cloud call center, cloud desktop, cloud training, financial cloud, cloud information, etc.
Ⅳ. Bringing Together Funds, Governments and Entrepreneurs
It is in line with economic restructuring and innovation-driven strategy, multi-disciplinary funds of broadband capital industry, complete cloud industry chain investment of China.Investment innovation funds on cloud computing and big data will also be released on 2012 Cloud Valley World. Beside, bridges for investor and entrepreneurs meeting will be created by "cloud Star-ups" sessionso that entrepreneurs in cloud computing industry can meet and face-to-face exchange information with investors from famous institutions such as CBC, Sequoia Capital, Happy Fund (UFIDA), Sea Silver Capital and Cloud Angel Fund.
