For example, an industrySoftware Export Bases”。 in 2020 that increased to US$133 million, anincrease of 38%. By 2020 that number had jumped toUS$ million, a 44% increase over 2020. The number ofworkers engaged in the Chinese software industry has alsoexperienced major growth, from 210,000 in 2020 to720,000 in 2020 [37].. The Dalian software industry todayIn 1997, Dalian was designated the “Software IndustryInternational Model City in the National Torch Program” bythe Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’sRepublic of China.

Industry sales revenue increasedfrom US$25 million 1998 to US$ billion in 2020. Salesvolume is expected to reach the US$7 billion mark in 2020.Today Dalian is the largest base in China for softwareexports. In addition, numerous foreign enterprises haveentered the Chinese market, and currentlyrepresent30% ofall enterprises there, including 30 multinational ITpanies that rank among the top 500 panies in theworld.
