From December 11th to 12th, the ** Economic Work Conference was held in Beijing, comprehensively summarizing the economic work in 2023, deeply analyzing the current economic situation, and systematically deploying the economic work in 2024.
"Digital economy" has been mentioned in the first economic work conference for five consecutive years. In 2019, the ** Economic Work Conference proposed for the first time to "vigorously develop the digital economy". 5 years have passed,This year's conference not only continued to mention the "development of the digital economy", but also mentioned at greater length all aspects of the development of the digital economy, including increasing financial support, accelerating the development of artificial intelligence, making extensive use of digital intelligence technology, vigorously developing digital consumption, supporting new infrastructure, expanding digital **, and seriously solving cross-border data flows.
The digital economy, an economic field that has emerged due to digital technology innovation, has received strong support from China's leading departments in recent years, and has not only been mentioned by the ** Economic Work Conference every year since 2019, but also appeared in the "** Work Report" every year since 2017.
China's digital economy is developing rapidly, and its position in the national economy is becoming more and more important. According to the Research Report on the Development of China's Digital Economy (2023) released by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, by 2022, the scale of China's digital economy will reach 502 trillion yuan, a nominal increase of 10 percent year-on-year3%，For 11 consecutive years, the nominal growth rate of GDP has been significantly higher than that of GDP in the same period, accounting for 41 percent of GDP5%, which is more than 39 in the secondary industry9% weight.
As the highest-level economic work conference in China, the first economic work conference is an authoritative weather vane for judging the current economic situation and setting the tone of macroeconomic policies for the second year. Compared with the mention of "digital economy" at the ** economic work conference in the past five years, this year's meeting can be described asBigger, more faceted, and clearer
What signal does this year's new formulation of the "digital economy" send?Nandu reporters were invitedHu Gang, president of the South China Urban Research Association and professor at the School of Public Administration of Jinan UniversityBring interpretation.

We are in the midst of a transition from the industrial era to the digital age. In this process, China has been at the forefront of the world in terms of digital **, smart cities, and mobile paymentsBut the core technology is not necessarily in your own hands。Hu Gang believes that the leap of this era must solve many economic problemsThe core goal is to enable our country to "stay ahead" in more areas
Compared with the expression of 'digital economy' at the ** economic work conference in previous years, this year's meeting mentioned more, in addition to 'digital economy', it also mentioned new infrastructure, financial support, artificial intelligence and other aspects. Hu Gang thinksThis reflects the increasing importance of the digital economy
At the same time, Hu Gang believes that the "digital economy" is also mentioned at lengthIt highlights the inevitability of the digital trend and reminds everyone to look at the development of cities from a new perspective。For example, he said that unlike commercial and trade cities and mineral resource cities, digital cities value flow, including capital flow, and information flow. In the digital age, the development of cities will no longer rely solely on local resourcesIt also depends on the overall strength of the city network
This year's ** economic work conference clearly proposed to "expand digital" and seriously solve the cross-border flow of data. Hu Gang said that in the process of digitalization, a new global city network has been formed, and whether a city has joined the global city network is an important yardstick to measure its digital development.
The person in charge of Pazhou's digital economy enterprise talked about his feelings.
How do the heads of enterprises in the field of digital economy feel about the new formulation of "digital economy" at this year's ** economic work conference?As industry practitioners, how do they perceive the warmth and coldness of the market?Does the new proposal hit the pain points and difficulties of their industry?
Nandu reporters invited 4 business leaders from the field of digital economy to talk about the actual situation of the industry and their feelings about the new formulation of "digital economy" at this year's ** economic work conference.
The four heads of the enterprises are all from Pazhou Digital Economy Pilot Zone, Haizhu District, Guangzhou. In recent years, Guangzhou has vigorously developed the digital economy, and planned the Guangzhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Pilot Zone in the central area of the city to attract enterprises in the field of digital economy to take root and develop with valuable urban central space.
Among them, Pazhou is the core area of the pilot zone. In recent years, due to:Precise positioning and development of artificial intelligence and digital economyPazhou Pilot Zone has rapidly grown into a first-class business district with high-rise buildings, tooThe highland of the development of the domestic digital economy。As of the first half of 2023, the total number of enterprises in the Pazhou Pilot Zone has reached 35,268, the total number of enterprises in the four regions is 17,322, and the number of core enterprises in the digital economy is 332.

Zhang Sheng, founder and CEO of Lingju Technology:
Industrial policy and financial support are tilted towards R&D and manufacturing enterprises
Zhang Sheng, founder and CEO of Lingju Technology:
This year's ** economic work conference continues to put forward the "development of digital economy".This is the key point in the development of various industries in the current economy. From the perspective of ** and domestic demand, the lack of digitalization of the ** chain has led to information asymmetry, and there has been a situation of buying inferior products, and some empty package express delivery cannot be supervised, and the phenomenon of "bad money driving out good money" is happening. The digitization of the chain enables consumers to obtain symmetrical information, including transparent information, to buy the corresponding product in a reasonable way, which is very necessary.
The meeting also mentioned "digital transformation of traditional industries" and "increasing financial support for the digital economy", which I think hit the pain point of industry development。Enterprises like Lingju Technology, which is engaged in the development of artificial intelligence technology base, need strong financial support, otherwise continuous R&D investment is unsustainable.
In the past, we had a joke".Those who engage in the atomic bomb are not as good as those who sell tea and eggsThis phenomenon still exists today. In the field of artificial intelligence, it is the middlemen who can reach the end users who make a lot of money. On the contrary, the margins of the providers of the underlying technology, as well as the enterprises engaged in technology research and development and product manufacturing, are very thin。This situation is not conducive to the healthy development of the digital economy industry.
In my opinion,Industrial policy and financial support can be tilted towards manufacturing enterprises engaged in R&D and product production of technology basesIt can allow these enterprises to invest more funds in research and development, achieve technological breakthroughs, improve the quality of products, and avoid "bad money drives out good money" and opportunistic things.
The development of artificial intelligence is of great significance, and this year's ** economic work conference clearly proposed to "accelerate the development of artificial intelligence". Artificial intelligence is a new generation of infrastructure after the Internet, and no one will talk about the Internet industry anymore, because it is ubiquitous and has become an infrastructure, and artificial intelligence will be ubiquitous in the future.
Now all applications will be redone with artificial intelligence。Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it can also be seen that artificial intelligence will have an impact on the large number of applications that we have developed based on the Internet, which are already very mature.
Internet-based informatization generates a large amount of data, combined with artificial intelligenceIt can generate some unprecedented new applications in many new scenarios。Artificial intelligence will be an efficiency tool and an auxiliary tool, gradually from quantitative change to qualitative change.
The development of artificial intelligence is imminent, and there are still many things that we need to master and break through, and we need to accelerate the implementation of its application.
Our country has a good foundation and potential for developing the digital economy, and I am very optimistic about the prospects of the digital economy and very confident in its development. Our country has the strongest communication infrastructure and the most extensive 5G network. At the same time, we have created a friendly environment for the development of new things, people are willing to try new things, and enterprises are willing to seize the opportunity to seek new changes.
This year's ** economic work conference mentioned the "digital economy" at great length, and encouraged scientific and technological innovationFrom the first to the people, a consensus has been formed that "science and technology are the primary productive forces".。Unity of mind and unity of purpose is also a good foundation for us to develop the digital economy.
Luo Siming, Secretary of the Party Branch and Vice President of Jixiang Technology:
Increase financial support and enhance confidence in the development of the industry
Luo Siming, Secretary of the Party Branch and Vice President of Jixiang Technology:
* The Economic Work Conference proposed a series of supports for the digital economyIt is undoubtedly a send-off for the industry. The digital economy is an emerging industry, practitioners are also likely to be entrepreneurs, many enterprises are in a critical period of survival and development, to a large extent, it can be said that capital is the key factor for the survival of such enterprises.
However, in the post-epidemic era, the capital market is generally relatively cautious and conservative, lacks policy guidance, and is in the wait-and-see stage, resulting in a bleak financing prospect for digital economy enterprises. ** The signal sent by the Economic Work Conference and the financial support for the digital economyIt will play a big role in restoring the confidence of investors and practitioners
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China's digital economy construction has made remarkable achievements, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data and other new technologies have been continuously innovated, and have been integrated into various fields of social and economic development. So, in the long run,The development of China's digital economy has great potential
Jixiang Technology is located in Pazhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Experimental Zone, which is the highland of domestic digital economy, bringing together many leading enterprises and innovative enterprisesThe main products and services of Jixiang Technology are the foundation that supports the development of the digital economy - the new information infrastructure
With the accelerated development of China's digital economy, the company will also have a larger and better development space, hoping to accelerate the independent innovation and development of China's Internet of Things industry through technological innovation and business model innovation.

Increase financial support to reduce the digital cost of textile enterprises
Hong Muxin, founding shareholder and chairman of the board of directors of yarn fiber billion shares:
I think we will increase financial support for the digital economyHit the pain point of the textile industry。Achieve high-quality development of the textile industry, especially in the current severe and complex environmentFinancial support is indispensable
First of all, the textile industry is a capital-intensive industry that requires a lot of capital for the purchase of raw materials, equipment upgrades, and expansion of production. However, due to the fierce competition in the industry, many businesses have low profits in the market and are unable to meet their financing needs with their own funds
Secondly, the textile industry has relatively limited access to finance. Traditional commercial bank loans are the main financing method, but due to the higher risk of the textile industryBanks are more strict in reviewing the credit of textile enterprises。In addition, some textile enterprises are small in scale and have low credit, making it difficult to obtain bank loans.
Third, scientific and technological innovation leads the development of the textile industry. With the advancement of science and technology,The textile industry is undergoing digital and intelligent transformation to promote industrial upgrading and technological innovation. The development of these emerging areas requires significant capital investment, such as intelligent production equipment, new material research and development, etc. Therefore, increase financial support for the digital economy and put serving the real economy in the first placeIt can effectively reduce the financing cost of textile enterprises, especially those that are the main body of innovation and entrepreneurshipto alleviate the long-term financing difficulties and expensive financing problems faced by enterprises. On the other hand, with the help of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, digital finance can expand the investment and financing channels of enterprises, and further optimize the investment and financing structure while promoting product innovation, service innovation and business innovation of enterprises.
The leading and supporting role of the digital economy in economic and social development has become increasingly prominent, and it has become an important engine for stabilizing growth and promoting transformation. As an important part of the national economy, the textile industry shoulders the important mission of building a modern textile industrial system
