The continuous improvement of the digital foundation also breeds the development opportunities of Chengdu. Sino-German cooperative intelligent networked automobile and vehicle networking standards and test verification pilot demonstration projects, such as Sichuan Experimental Base, National Digital Service Export Base, China (Chengdu) Ultra-high Definition Innovation and Application Industrial Base, have brought new opportunities for digital new infrastructure, which has brought "opportunities" for Chengdu to seize the new track.
Starting from the policy, Chengdu has also been building a solid foundation for digital development. This year’s work report of the Chengdu Municipal Government clearly stated that the construction of the core area of the National Digital Economy Innovation and Development Experimental Zone should be deepened, the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy should be promoted, and the added value of the core industries of the digital economy should be increased to more than 14% of the regional GDP.
It is worth mentioning that the Third Plenary Session of the 14th Chengdu Municipal Committee held last week also proposed to strengthen the base of new infrastructure, promote the construction of smart transportation, smart energy and digital municipal services, create a smart Rongcheng application scenario and build a "digital twin city".
Grasp the implementation:
More than 2,000 national high-tech enterprises have been newly cultivated this year.
Chengdu’s "14th Five-Year Plan for Digital Economy Development" points out that by 2035, Chengdu should have strong and sustainable digital technology innovation strategy capability and digital economy innovation vitality, and build a new highland of digital economy with international competitiveness in an all-round way.
From a macro point of view, at present, Chengdu is taking the opportunity of building a national digital economy innovation and development experimental zone, focusing on the transformation of production technology from traditional "hard" elements to new "soft" elements based on "cloud, network, terminal and number", and making efforts to create a new engine of digital economy development through the two-wheel drive of "digital industrialization" and "industrial digitalization" to empower the high-quality development of urban economy and society.
Previously, Chengdu has vigorously promoted the pilot application of industrial Internet, digital workshops and smart factories, so as to promote the digital transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry.
Among them, Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group, Jiwei IOT and Alibaba Cloud cooperated to build the first "steel brain" in China; Chengdu Zhongdian Panda Display Technology Co., Ltd. achieved a monthly production capacity of 140,000 display screens through industrial internet technology without increasing hardware investment, which was 20,000 more than the designed production capacity, with a vertical increase of 15% and an increase of 25% in operational efficiency.
Based on the current situation, what are the highlights of digital construction in Chengdu?
At the Third Plenary Session of the 14th Chengdu Municipal Committee, Wang Fengjun, Party Secretary and Director of Chengdu Development and Reform Commission, proposed to accelerate the construction of Chengdu-Chongqing (Xinglong Lake) comprehensive science center scheme and major scientific and technological infrastructure layout, and create an innovative source of service strategy rear area construction.

He revealed that the plan of Chengdu-Chongqing Comprehensive Science Center has been completed, and Chengdu will build a high-end innovation resource bearing place and a major original innovation source around the advantageous fields such as aerospace, advanced energy, information technology and life sciences.
Not only that, but also promote the development of 28 key industrial chains in 8 industrial ecological circles, focus on the future industrial forward-looking layout of new tracks, accelerate the shaping of new advantages, and build a modern industrial system led by scientific and technological innovation.
"This year, more than 2,000 national high-tech enterprises have been newly cultivated, more than 50 national specialized and innovative" little giant "enterprises, more than 300 new industrial enterprises, more than 500 service enterprises, more than 20,000 new Shangyun enterprises and more than 15 newly listed enterprises." Wang Fengjun said.
Look at opportunities:
Deep integration of digital technology and real economy
Vertically subdivide service scenarios base on computing power
Under the influence of the digital age, in the eyes of entrepreneurs in the digital field, what new opportunities are there for Chengdu’s digital economy?
On July 10th, the cover journalist interviewed Yuan Haojie, deputy general manager of Chengdu Gaoxin Vision Digital Technology Co., Ltd., and made relevant suggestions for speeding up the digital transformation of Chengdu.
From the establishment of the New Economic Development Committee five years ago, to the proposal of building a smart city, and then to the release of the list of opportunities for cities with smart cities, the construction of digital economy in Chengdu is imperative, and it also gives birth to new opportunities for development.
"The deep integration of digital technology and real economy is a great opportunity for the development of Chengdu’s digital economy. For example, Smart Rongcheng integrates traditional urban governance and digital technology to form a two-wheel drive model of technology and business."
Yuan Haojie said that this will also give birth to new business models such as smart business districts.
In addition, using the Internet of Things to build a smart Rongcheng, Chengdu has formed a good model. "A large number of Internet of Things technologies are used to achieve urban management through some sensor devices and to achieve refined governance of megacities. In the next step, Chengdu can lead enterprises out of Sichuan and create more development opportunities. "
"The combination of new energy and artificial intelligence will also be a good direction." He said that through artificial intelligence technology, intelligent power generation and energy storage can be realized, and intelligent services can be provided for transportation and home. In the long run, it is also a deep combination of digital economy and double carbon targets, providing new ideas for environmental protection.
In Yuan Haojie’s view, although the digital economy is a new thing, it has experienced long-term exploration, including the establishment of the National Data Bureau at the beginning of this year, which also provides a top-level design for the further growth and explosion of the digital economy in the future.
Based on the reality of Chengdu’s digital economy, where is the future focus?
"In addition to the digital super-large model construction, we can also vertically subdivide the service field based on the current computing power advantage of Chengdu. For example, for government affairs or people’s livelihood service scenarios, some solutions can be quickly formed according to actual needs to make digital construction more precise, personalized and practical. At the same time, attract more enterprises to join and make digital services bigger and stronger. " According to Yuan Haojie, there are currently two national innovation centers in Chengdu, Supercomputing and Intelligent Computing, which have laid a good foundation for further providing better digital service scenarios.
In addition, it is necessary to further explore the integration of public service data resources, and consider how to accelerate the integration of public data such as education, health, transportation, and cultural tourism to promote the development of digital economy while ensuring data security and protecting privacy rights. "Data is the hub of digital development. For example, Chengdu Data Group, which was just established last week, can provide a data base for the future construction of various fields in Chengdu and lay a solid foundation for development."
"At present, the supply of talents in Chengdu is abundant. How to turn the’ big market’ of talents into a’ strong market’ of talents, give full play to the ability of existing talents, and attract more talents in the head field such as artificial intelligence to come to Chengdu and stay in Chengdu, which requires continuing to improve the corresponding talent policy." He said that talent is a "think tank" for the development of digital economy, and special attention should be paid to it.
"The current digitalization process in Chengdu can be said to be a stage of large-scale expansion or deep application." In Yuan Haojie’s view, Chengdu’s digitalization process has entered the first phalanx in the country, and it has a good development direction and motivation both now and in the future.
