Chinese and Shanghai Cooperation Organization member universities have jointly launched the SCO Digital Economy University Alliance, aiming to boost cross-border collaboration in digital innovation, talent training, and sustainable development.

The alliance was established last week at Nankai University in Tianjin, where experts emphasized China's willingness to share its digital economy experience to support SCO partners in accelerating their own digital transformations.

"The alliance aims to promote collaborative innovation and sustainable development in the field of digital economy among various universities through interdisciplinary integration, efficient resource integration, and joint talent cultivation, injecting wisdom and vitality into the high-quality development of the global digital economy," said Li Junqing, secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Economics at Nankai University.
