Microsoft feels the pulse of China's digital transformation
As a global conglomerate that has been expanded for more than two decades in China, Microsoft has partnered with local enterprises across sectors to achieve new goals amid a digital transformation upsurge, according to an executive of Microsoft Corp.
"Chinese government has embraced digital transformation like few other nations in the world, and domestic enterprises across almost every industry recognize the value of digital transformation and are looking for partners to help them move forward," said Alain Crozier, chairman and chief executive officer of Microsoft Greater China Region.

Crozier said the application of cloud technologies, including, big data, internet of things, machine learning and artificial intelligence, will empower breakthroughs in productivity, customer engagement, operational efficiency and will help every organization in the diverse economic and developmental landscape become digital.
Taking the latest case as an example, last month, Microsoft announced a partnership with China Development Bank Capital to promote technology innovation and smart city development in the country.
The two sides will jointly build innovation incubators and accelerators to support excellent startups, and explore the new development mode of smart city based on Microsoft's intelligent cloud platform and productivity services.
Currently, the Microsoft accelerator program has helped 125 startups in the past five years in the nation. Out of them 116 received investment funding upon graduation, 12 of them have been acquired and three have issued initial public offering.
