Let’s talk about the strategic partnership between Moji Weather and Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology. On May 10, 2019, Moji Weather, the world’s largest weather service platform, signed a strategic partnership agreement with Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology (hereinafter referred to as NUIS). The two parties agreed to work together on research and development as well as the promotion of applications in areas such as smart meteorology, artificial intelligence, and the Internet. By leveraging their resources and strengths in terms of talent, technology, meteorological data, and platforms, they established a strategic partnership between a prestigious university and a leading enterprise. Together, they set up a smart meteorology research platform (hereinafter referred to as the research platform), aiming to stay at the international forefront in the fields of artificial intelligence and modern meteorological services, and to carry out joint efforts in meteorological technology innovation and product development. Cheng Qian, Senior Vice President of InkWeather, Huang Xiaoyu, Vice President, Ding Lili, Meteorology Director, as well as university leaders including Guan Zhaoyong, Party Secretary of Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Li Beiqun, President, Deng Zhiliang, Vice President, Hu Mingbao, Chief Accountant, and Zhang Yonghong, Vice President, attended the signing ceremony together. Huang Xiaoyu, vice president of Moji Weather, said at the signing ceremony that this collaboration between Moji Weather and NUIST represents a milestone in the cooperation between a renowned university in the field of meteorology and a leading enterprise in the industry. As the strategic projects between the two parties are implemented, Moji Weather will continue to make efforts to promote the development of the meteorological industry and add greater value to meteorological services. Li Beiqun, president of Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, said that Moji Weather is a well-known enterprise in the meteorology sector, holding a leading position in the weather industry. A strategic partnership with Moji Weather will enhance the university’s academic and research capabilities, strengthen its connections with the meteorology industry, provide clear directions for talent development and academic research, and further boost the university’s overall influence. By partnering with Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Moji Weather will once again leverage artificial intelligence to enhance the technology behind its meteorological services as well as the quality of those services, while continuing to maintain a leading position in terms of university-industry collaboration and advancements in smart meteorology. Nanchang Xinhua University is a university under the **\"Double First-Class\" initiative, and its atmospheric science program ranks first in the country. In terms of teaching and research resources, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology has established more than 20 research platforms at the provincial or ministerial level or above, including the International Joint Laboratory on Climate and Environmental Change, a **Technology Transfer Center, the Key Laboratory of Meteorological Disasters under the Ministry of Education, and the Key Open Laboratory of Atmospheric Physics and Atmospheric Environment of the China Meteorological Administration. It also has a Collaborative Innovation Center for Climate and Meteorological Disasters, as well as a Collaborative Innovation Center for Atmospheric Environment and Equipment Technology ； In terms of human resources, many alumni of Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology have become key figures and research experts in the meteorology industry both in China and around the world, earning it the reputation of being a \"cradle for meteorology talents.\" Leveraging cutting-edge technology as well as extensive meteorological and user data, Moji Weather offers precise weather services at the latitude and longitude level. To date, it has 550 million users, with over 100 million daily weather queries, and it supports weather information inquiries for 196 countries and more than 700,000 cities and regions. In terms of weather services, Mojit Weather offers accurate short-term forecasts as well as medium- and long-term weather predictions. Additionally, the scenario community created by Mojit Weather contains hundreds of millions of weather-related images, making it the largest real-time weather community in China at present. In 2016, Moji Weather innovatively introduced the concept of “Weather+”, leveraging big data on weather conditions and using weather information as a starting point to offer users more services that are tailored to various aspects of daily life and specific scenarios. Mojit Weather continuously and innovatively applies cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, deep machine learning*, and computer vision to the traditional meteorology field, thereby overcoming the technical limitations that have prevented progress in conventional weather forecasting. Taking AQI (Air Quality Index) forecasting as an example, cumulative monitoring data from April 1, 2017, to June 14, 2017, show that the average accuracy rate of Moji’s AQI forecasts was as high as 75.4%, which is significantly higher than the 60.3% figure seen in the industry.
