Highlight 'scene driven'. We create interactive experience scenarios both inside and outside the venue, allowing everyone to personally experience the latest achievements of digital China construction such as artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction, and intuitively feel the profound changes brought by digital technology. "Wu Xiande, Deputy Secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, introduced that there are over a hundred interactive experience projects provided in the venue; Outside the venue, 70 digital scene experience points will be created to allow guests and the public to immerse themselves in the charm of artificial intelligence interaction, intelligent production and other technologies. Currently, the new generation of information technology represented by artificial intelligence is deeply integrated into all aspects of the manufacturing process. Like computing algorithms, data is increasingly becoming an important production factor and valuable strategic resource in industry. How to achieve efficient data collection, large-scale aggregation, and deep level applications has become a necessary answer for the digital and intelligent development of manufacturing industry. We need to focus on breaking through the bottleneck of industrial data collection, aggregation, and utilization through trial and error. ”Wang Yanqing, Director of the Information Technology Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated that a group of industry data cooperation consortia will be cultivated, a group of industry data resources will be gathered, key technologies for a group of data will be tackled, standards for a group of industrial data will be developed, and a group of high-quality standardized and tradable industry datasets will be created, ultimately empowering the application and landing of a group of industry big models and industrial intelligent agents. The proportion of added value of core industries in the digital economy to GDP has risen from 7.8% in 2020 to over 10.5% in 2025. The average annual compound growth rate of core industries in the digital economy is 12.8%, which is higher than the GDP growth rate during the same period. Liu Liehong stated that this year, on the basis of playing a coordinating role and effectively promoting digital industrialization and industrial digitization, we will highlight three aspects: cultivating digital industry clusters in a hierarchical manner, cultivating and strengthening innovative enterprises in the digital economy, and promoting the overall digital transformation of cities, in order to fully promote the high-quality development of the digital economy.
