The integrated special funds shall be led by the Provincial Department of Finance and the Provincial Economic and Information Committee in conjunction with relevant units to formulate management measures separately. Conditional city and county governments can issue relevant implementation rules in accordance with this opinion, and do a good job in the implementation of relevant policies in cities and counties.
(3) Increase service procurement. Select a number of mobile Internet and big data platforms (products) with strong market and technical strength, and accelerate the popularization and application in social management and public services in the province.

Efforts will be made to build the "Mobile Internet Yuelu Summit" into a classic brand activity of the mobile Internet industry in China and even in the world, attracting famous entrepreneurs, celebrities and entrepreneurial rookies from the mobile Internet and big data industries at home and abroad to visit and exchange in Hunan. Vigorously promote the policies, planning and development achievements of mobile Internet and big data industry in our province, promote our province to become a hot spot of Internet economy, promote factor convergence and market expansion, and create a strong industrial atmosphere.
If this opinion is duplicated with other policies, the enterprise may enjoy the policy according to the principle of "priority", but it shall not declare for many times and enjoy the policy repeatedly.
This opinion shall come into force as of the date of promulgation and shall be valid until December 31, 2020. The Opinions of Hunan Provincial People’s Government on Encouraging the Development of Mobile Internet Industry (Xiang Zhengfa [2014] No.6) and the Notice of the General Office of Hunan Provincial People’s Government on Forwarding Several Policies on Encouraging the Development of Mobile Internet Industry by the Provincial Department of Finance and other departments (Xiang Zhengfa [2014] No.17) shall be abolished at the same time.
