Distinguished entrepreneurs, ladies and gentlemen:
Good morning!In winter, Yangcheng is full of life. It is a great pleasure to gather with you all in the beautiful Guangzhou and the vibrant Huangpu. Here, on behalf of the China Audio-video and Digital Publishing Association, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the guests who participated in the special promotion activities of Guangzhou Development Zone and Huangpu District of the 2023 China Game Industry Annual Conference, and express my heartfelt congratulations to the holding of the event
With the acceleration of innovation in technologies such as the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence, and blockchain, countries around the world are competing to formulate digital economy development strategies and introduce encouraging policies. With the rapid development of the digital economy, the gaming industry has become an important part of it. In the past decade, the size of China's game market has increased by more than five times, and the number of game companies has increased by about 70 times. In 2023, China's game industry will create a market space of more than 300 billion yuan, accumulating about 6700 million users.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has attached great importance to the development of the digital economy and elevated it to a national strategy. The digital economy is not only a new economic growth point, but also a fulcrum for the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and can become an important engine for building a modern economic system. However, we must also be aware of the hidden concerns brought about by the disorderly development of the digital economy. To promote the healthy development of the digital economy, it is necessary to adhere to the principle of promoting development and regulatory norms with both hands, improve laws, regulations, and policy systems, clarify the main responsibilities and obligations of platform enterprises, build industry self-discipline mechanisms, and continue to improve the digital economy governance system. As an industry association and a bridge connecting the competent authorities and practitioners, the China Audio-video and Digital Publishing Association obviously needs to play a more proactive role and play the role of "accelerator" and "gatekeeper".
Of course, industrial development is also inseparable from the support and support of the region. Guangzhou Development Zone and Huangpu District are such "hot spots" for investment and business. Guangzhou Development Zone and Huangpu District are the economic growth poles of Guangzhou and the "Pearl of the Bay" of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. As one of the most influential conferences in China's digital entertainment industry, the China Game Industry Annual Conference has been held for four consecutive years since it was established in Huangpu in 2020. The Guangzhou Development Zone and Huangpu District make full use of the unique advantages of Internet technology enterprises in the game industry, focusing on the development of digital technology-driven e-sports games, cultural entertainment, information and innovation software and other industrial ecosystems, cultivating the best soil for the development of the digital economy, accelerating the dissemination and popularization of excellent traditional Chinese culture, and creating the "Huangpu Plan" to export China's cultural soft power to the world.
The game and digital economy have a vast market and huge development potential. The China Audio-video and Digital Publishing Association will continue to give full play to the organizational advantages of the association to promote extensive exchanges and in-depth cooperation among enterprises, universities, and research institutions. Here, I sincerely hope that the entrepreneurs and friends here will join us in the tide of the digital economy, into the tide of innovation and entrepreneurship rooted in Huangpu, and inject new momentum into the high-quality development of China's social economy.
Finally, I wish all the guests a prosperous career and all the best in life!Thank you!
