China News Service, Beijing, August 2 (Reporter Du Yan) The 2021 Global Digital Economy Conference, co-sponsored by the Beijing Municipal People’s Government, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Commerce, and the State Internet Information Office, is in Beijing today. Opening. The conference issued the “Beijing’s Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Construction of a Global Digital Economy Benchmark City”, which clarified Beijing’s strategy and vision for vigorously developing the digital economy, and described the road map and construction map for the development of Beijing’s digital economy in the next ten years.
Building a benchmark city for the global digital economy is a strategic decision made by Beijing in response to the general trend of digital economy development. It is the main direction of serving national strategies, governing megacities, and seeking competitive advantages. It is promoting the quality and efficiency of the real economy and reshaping core competitiveness. Strategic requirements. In recent years, Beijing has vigorously promoted the development of the digital economy and achieved positive results. In 2020, the city’s digital economy will exceed 1.44 trillion yuan, accounting for more than 40% of GDP, laying a good foundation for the construction of a benchmark city.
Based on the “Four Outstandings”
The “Implementation Plan” pointed out that looking to the future, the construction of a global digital economy benchmark city should be based on “four salient points”:
The first is to highlight the “digital” drive, and use data as a core production factor as the main path to achieve high-quality economic development and sustainable development in the context of urban volume reduction development.
The second is to highlight the “global” competition, adhere to a global perspective and high-level openness, and strive to be a leader in the global digital economy.
The third is to highlight the “benchmarking” leadership, cultivate a number of benchmark enterprises, implement a number of benchmark projects, and create a symbolic industrial system in the digital economy era.
The fourth is to highlight the “city” incubation, and use the entire Beijing megacity as a super incubation platform to accelerate the construction of a digital social ecology.
Create “six heights”
What are the benchmark cities for the global digital economy? In what ways can Beijing become a benchmark? The “Implementation Plan” gives a clear answer: through continuous efforts for about 10 years, aiming at the world‘s cutting-edge technology and the strategic needs of future development, fully releasing the vitality of digital technology innovation, fully stimulating the potential of data resources, and digital empowering megacities Governance is fully demonstrated, the capital’s digital economy has played a significant role in driving the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and the data-driven capital’s demonstration radiation capability has been effectively improved, building Beijing into the “six highlands” leading the development of the global digital economy: a demonstration of urban digital intelligent transformation Highlands, the hub highlands for the configuration of international data elements, the emerging digital industry incubation and leading highlands, the global digital technology innovation source highlands, the digital governance China solution service highlands, and the digital economy opening up highlands for foreign cooperation.
Clarify the “eight tasks”
To build a global digital economy benchmark city, the core main line is to aim at the fundamental role of data in the digital economy, open up the entire chain of data generation-aggregation-transaction-consumption-application, and form a full coverage development situation from digital city-future industry-digital society .
The “Implementation Plan” proposes eight main tasks to form an open and leading new digital social ecology, and take the lead in building a new future-oriented digital economy system.
One is to take the lead in building data-native urban infrastructure. Including speeding up the construction of fully-sensing cities; building intelligent networked urban roads, completing 1,000 kilometers by the end of the “14th Five-Year Plan”; advancing the intelligent transformation of water, electricity, heating and other meters, building a digital city lifeline; building internationally leading network infrastructure, etc.
The second is to gather and activate ultra-large-scale data element assets. Including the construction of a data resource library supported by multiple sources to gather massive data resources; the establishment of a collaborative and efficient computing power center system to build a service ecosystem integrating data, computing power and algorithms; the development of new formats of data services, and the construction of “data storage-data right confirmation -Data pricing-data transaction-data operation management” data asset entire industry chain.
The third is to focus on building an open and interconnected international data hub. Including the high-standard construction of the Beijing International Big Data Exchange to create a global platform for cross-border data flow and trading; the construction of a data fusion exchange processing computing platform to support intelligent service applications; the high-level construction of a digital trading port to become a hub city for the global data chain.
The fourth is to focus on cultivating data-driven future benchmark industries. Focus on six industries including the new generation of digital travel industry, new digital health service industry, smart manufacturing industry, carbon-neutral digital energy service industry, digital financial industry, data-supported R&D and knowledge production industry.
Fifth, it is a digital technology innovation that leads a generation in advance. Focusing on the data chain of “sensing-transmitting-calculating-use”, take the lead in the development of 6G future network, quantum technology, algorithm innovation, blockchain, and biological and information fusion technology research and development, and accelerate the construction of independent controllable, integrated production and research, and software A new generation of digital technology innovation system with hard collaboration.
The sixth is to jointly create a digital social ecology that leads the world. Combining with the construction of smart cities, we will focus on promoting the construction of digital citizens, digital enterprises, digital governments, and digital society, so that the fruits of the digital economy will benefit citizens and increase their sense of gain.
Seventh, we must first build a digital economy rule for win-win cooperation. Coordinate development and security, and promote the safe development of cross-border data flow; expand access to the digital market and set up data security supervision sandboxes to build a development pattern that is open to both internal and external parties; vigorously promote the development of digital trade and form a win-win digital New mechanisms for economic international governance.
The eighth is to scientifically construct a systematic and comprehensive development measurement system. Highlight the forward-looking, systematic and operational nature, establish a global dynamic tracking mechanism, build a standardized measurement index system, accurately and timely reflect the development of the digital economy and the level of benchmark city construction, and create a discourse platform that leads the digital economy.
