The nation also plans to establish a national e-commerce demonstration base in the city, increasing demand for e-commerce professionals in Nanyang.

To promote local electronic business and deepen industrial transformation, Nanyang Institute of Technology started the e-commerce major early in 2002 and has cultivated over 1,000 e-commerce professionals who are now serving for the society. The establishment of the new college will provide more e-commerce talent and help promote the development of local electronics businesses.
