On-site, nearly 100 apps including Suishenban Citizen Cloud, Metro Big Metropolis, Shanghai Transportation Card, YTO Express, Wind Financial Terminal, Xinhua Dictionary, Juneyao Airlines, and Shouqianba participated in the HarmonyOS application release ceremony, announcing that their APPs have deeply integrated HarmonyOS innovative features and have achieved upgrades in multiple functions and experiences.

In the wave of digital economy, urban digital transformation has become an inevitable trend. Currently, the HarmonyOS ecosystem in Shanghai has begun to achieve scaled development, with approximately 500 Shanghai-based HarmonyOS applications being upgraded and launched, helping Shanghai accelerate towards the era of intelligent connectivity. At the same time, more than 3000 government and enterprise units across the country are also conducting HarmonyOS upgrades for their internal office applications, including those in Shanghai.
Choose HarmonyOS, embrace the opportunity to reshape the experience
The active embrace of HarmonyOS by 500 applications reflects the firm support of Shanghai enterprises for the HarmonyOS ecosystem. This is not only because HarmonyOS is a domestically developed operating system from top to bottom, but also because HarmonyOS applications possess innovative features such as ultra-simple development, rapid adaptation, seamless interconnection across devices, end-to-end AI capabilities, and pure and reliable security protection.
"The innovative features of HarmonyOS can help apps create better user experiences, thereby gaining more positive reviews and winning incremental users; at the same time, efficient development tools and thoughtful one-stop services for developers also provide strong support for small and medium-sized enterprises to adapt to HarmonyOS," Zhao Guangzhou, deputy director of the Shanghai Small and Medium Enterprise Development Service Center, said during his on-site speech.
In the journey of Shanghai accelerating towards becoming an intelligent city, embracing HarmonyOS has become an inevitable trend. On-site, various types of cross-industry Shanghai apps announced they have deeply adapted to HarmonyOS, covering important fields such as government livelihood, financial management, transportation, practical tools, sports health, etc., bringing users efficient and convenient experience upgrades through collaborative innovation with HarmonyOS.
In the field of government livelihood, the service modules of the Suishenban Citizen Cloud app have been fully adapted to HarmonyOS, utilizing the distributed capabilities of HarmonyOS to achieve efficient collaboration between government services and smart terminals, and ensuring the security of sensitive information such as personal certificates and health records through HarmonyOS' more secure privacy protection system, bringing a new experience of cross-terminal and full-scenario smart government services to 24 million Shanghai citizens.
In the transportation field, Metro Big Metropolis, Shanghai Transportation Card, YTO Express, SAIC Roewe, IM ZHIJI, MG Live, Lotus Racing Cars, and Yongda Automobiles, among other HarmonyOS applications, have deeply utilized the more intelligent and interconnected innovative features of HarmonyOS to provide users with smarter and more efficient transportation and logistics experiences; in the field of practical tools, Tianyi Super HD, Xinhua Dictionary, Shihuo, Shouqianba, and Remote Control Genius, among other HarmonyOS applications, have utilized the more secure and smoother innovative features of HarmonyOS to provide users with more efficient and smooth usage experiences; in the field of sports health, applications such as Boluo Health and Everyday Skipping Rope have provided users with more personalized mobile services for sports health.
Whether or not to embrace a new operating system, the developer's development experience is crucial, especially for small and medium-sized applications. Compared to operating systems like Android and iOS, the development and adaptation process of HarmonyOS applications is more friendly. It provides unified development tools and open capabilities for different form factors of terminals in various scenarios. This ability to develop once and deploy on multiple ends not only brings consistent experiences across multiple terminals but also significantly reduces development and maintenance costs, allowing developers to focus on functional innovation rather than repetitive adaptations.
By utilizing the efficient development tool DevEco Studio from HarmonyOS, Shanghai Wanwu New Information Technology Group Co., Ltd. quickly and high-quality completed the development of two apps under its umbrella, "Ai Hui Shou" and "Pai Ji Ting Tang", in the HarmonyOS version, and will further explore more application scenarios using the system-level AI capabilities of HarmonyOS on the terminal side.
Secure and efficient, the mutual pursuit between government and enterprise and HarmonyOS
For key areas such as government and enterprise, information security is the底线for the normal operation of all businesses, starting with internal office applications. These applications involve important information flow and management in government and enterprise institutions, containing a large amount of policy content, commercial secrets, production processes, supply chains, and employee privacy data with high sensitivity. If built based on foreign operating systems, there is an uncontrollable information security risk; only by building based on a safe and reliable operating system can the data security and digital sovereignty of government and enterprise office applications be ensured.
The fully self-controlled HarmonyOS operating system is undoubtedly a safe and reliable digital foundation. It relies on the self-developed StarShield Security Architecture, which is not a single-point protection but designs rigorously at the platform layer, architecture layer, and application layer, adopting a series of multi-layer protection measures such as hardware security, system security framework, permission management, and encryption technology, forming a robust security protection network.
In the wave of digital transformation, many internal office applications of government and enterprises are accelerating their embrace of HarmonyOS. On-site at this forum, Yunda Express Holdings Group Co., Ltd., China Earth Property Insurance Co., Ltd., Orient Hope Group Co., Ltd., Bright Food (Group) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Steel Alliance E-commerce Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Junhe Group Co., Ltd. announced that their internal office applications have deeply integrated the more secure, intelligent, and interconnected features of HarmonyOS 5, achieving intelligent efficiency enhancement and efficient collaboration in internal office operations.
For internal office applications of government and enterprises, the more important innovative feature of HarmonyOS is that it achieves a balance between security, intelligence, and efficiency. Zhu Ningning, executive vice president of the Shanghai Industrial Economic Federation, believes that HarmonyOS has brought unprecedented changes to the information society with its core concept of "interconnection of everything and full-scenario intelligence." Its powerful cross-platform capability enables seamless connections and efficient collaboration between different devices, not only greatly enriching the application scenarios of software services but also opening up entirely new paths for industrial innovation and upgrading.
By embracing HarmonyOS, companies are achieving a leap in core competitiveness.
