　　Last year, the industry registered revenue of nearly 4 trillion yuan, or about 650 billion US dollars, up more than 20 percent from 2013, while information-related services brought in over half of the total income in the industry.

　　Miao Wei, China's Minister of Industry and Information Technology, says the country will continue to boost the industry's development by encouraging innovation.

　　"We will strive to optimize³ the environment for the sector⁴'s development, streamline⁵ policies and standards, and compile guidelines for the development of the software and big-data industry in the 13th five-year period. We will also continue to boost innovation in the industry, encourage cooperation between software developers and enterprises in the manufacturing sector, and give more support to the improvement of internet security technologies."

　　Chen Wei, head of the ministry's information services department, says the development of software technology will heavily influence the development of the world.

　　"Software and technology are playing a growing role in the manufacturing industry. Software-driven equipment has found wider application, resulting in the birth of "intelligent manufacturing." We can clearly see the decisive role of software in this trend and it's why we can say that software will decide how the future world looks like."

　　The expo is the largest and the most influential⁶ international software show in China.
