Aveva eyes growth in China's digital transformation

Industrial software developer Aveva is looking to grasp the abundant opportunities arising from China's emphasis on industrial upgrading and digital transformation, and deepen its cooperation with Chinese companies by leveraging cutting-edge technologies to improve production efficiency in various fields, said senior executives of the company.

Emon Zaman, senior vice-president and head of Asia-Pacific at Aveva, said, "In China, I believe the manufacturing industry, which includes things like semiconductors and discrete manufacturing and even consumer products, will continue to have a big opportunity for Aveva as well as companies here."

"In the manufacturing sector, Chinese companies are all already very competitive, but I feel that the next level of efficiency will be gained by using technology to drive even more efficiency so that they are even more globally competitive," he said, adding that the two industries where the company has the biggest growth potential are power and chemicals.
