Molecular Data’s senior management introduced that driven by the new energy industry, new materials industry and the new economy, the chemical industry has entered a new stage of refinement, digitalization and diversification. However, the overall IT technology and digitization capabilities of the chemical industry remains weak.

Molecular Data hopes to work with UCloud; using leading companies in the chemical industry as a benchmark, where both parties will jointly create a full value chain and bring comprehensive solutions for the vertical segmentation of the chemical industry.

Hua Kun, co-founder and COO of UCloud, said: There is a lot of room for digitalization in the chemical industry. The chemical industry has high requirements including the security of IT architecture, and at the same time it must meet the requirements of simplicity, ease of use, and convenience in both operations and maintenance.
