Introduction to the School Ofdigital Economics

Strategic Alignment and Visionary Growth

To support China's national strategy for digital economic development, the Department of Digital Economy was established in late 2022 as an independent academic unit. It oversees talent cultivation, scientific research, social services, international collaboration, and cultural innovation. On April 8, 2025, it was officially renamed the School of Digital Economy (SDE).

Interdisciplinary Excellence and Specialized Research

As a core component of the "Class IV Peak Disciplinary Construction" in Applied Economics at SUFE, the School is a designated Special Academic Zone. Our research framework spans economics, finance, management, technology, and law, focusing on four primary pillars:

Market Mechanism Design and Policy Evaluation for the Digital Economy

World-Class Faculty and Collaborative Network

The School aggregates top-tier faculty from across SUFE’s disciplines in economics, management, law, and engineering. We combine the expertise of senior scholars in fintech and platform economics with high-end global recruits. Furthermore, through strategic partnerships with leading institutions and industry titans, we have built a collaborative network of industry experts and tech leaders to bridge the gap between academia and practice.

The "SUFE Model" for High-Caliber Talent
