The topic setting covers digital technology, blockchain technology, edge computing, 5G and other high-tech technologies, as well as in-depth analysis by relevant research institutions. The model of the regional leading enterprise Gaoke Xinlian setting up the stage and guests from the four circles of government, academia, enterprises, and capital discussing on the same stage not only opened up a new channel for the development of Anhui's digital economy, but also provided a new digital technology underlying infrastructure for the Wanjiang Economic Corridor and the Yangtze River Delta Industrial Transfer Economic Belt. More importantly, it explored the Anhui model of integrating blockchain and other high-tech technologies into the development of the digital economy.

With a bird's-eye view, the political and academic circles have a far-sighted vision of the new future of the digital economy

According to data recently released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology , the total volume of China's digital economy exceeded 31 trillion yuan in 2018 , accounting for 34.8 % of GDP , becoming an important support for high-quality economic development. Based on this, the People's Government of Anhui Province issued the "Notice on Several Policies to Support the Development of Digital Economy" on October 23, 2018 , pointing out that in order to thoroughly implement the national digital economy development strategy and the decision-making and deployment of the provincial party committee and the provincial government to accelerate the construction of "Digital Jianghuai", vigorously develop the digital economy, promote digital industrialization and industrial digitization, and build a modern economic system. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Industrial Development and Transfer Guidance Catalog (2018) " in January this year , which also proposed that Anhui Province should accelerate the acceptance of industrial transfer from international and eastern developed regions, and build an important national energy and raw material base, modern equipment manufacturing and high-tech industrial base.

As a representative of the value Internet, blockchain is considered the fourth technological revolution in the history of human civilization. On this basis, combined with Anhui's status as China's leading high-tech industrial center, and its leading position in the world in artificial intelligence and voice recognition, quantum computing, cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things and other technologies, blockchain has huge room for development in Anhui.

Fang Zhaoben, member of the Standing Committee of the 9th and 10th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former vice chairman of the Anhui Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference , once again emphasized the view that digital technology is the basic technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and pointed out, "We must vigorously promote the implementation and development of digital technology in Anhui . Anhui is the birthplace of reform and innovation is the soul of Hefei. We firmly believe that we can take root in the fertile soil of digital technology in Hefei and create a new chapter in the development of Anhui's digital economy. At the same time, he also hopes that the participating companies can effectively promote blockchain to empower the real economy and make Anhui a strong province in digital economy . "

Fang Zhaoben then started with payment and analyzed the wide range of application scenarios in the blockchain industry. He pointed out that there are currently 7.3 billion people in the world, of which 2 billion do not have bank accounts. The security, convenience, savings, inclusiveness, supervision, KYC , AML , etc. of blockchain payment are the key to solving the problem.

Han Yan, deputy director of the Anhui Provincial Institute of Industry and Information Technology, said that blockchain technology, as an iterative major technological innovation, has attracted widespread attention around the world and is increasingly demonstrating its powerful power in reshaping value systems, building operating rules, and leading industrial transformation. Many places in China have taken blockchain as an important direction of exploration.

Han Yan further pointed out that as the capital of Anhui Province, a comprehensive national science center, and a strategic dual-node city of the "Belt and Road" and the Yangtze River Economic Belt , Hefei has a strong industrial foundation and a high-quality development environment for innovative and leading development, and should be at the forefront and set an example in the field of blockchain development. Vigorously developing new industries, new formats and new models marked by the combination of blockchain and industry is the only way to promote industrial transformation and upgrading and accelerate the transformation of new and old kinetic energy.

Also on the issue of locked payments , Wu Tong, deputy director of the Blockchain Committee of the China E-Commerce Industrial Park Alliance, analyzed the current drawbacks and pain points of cross-border payments, and combined with the principle of " blockchain = distributed ledger + token + community " , he made a prospect for the blockchain cross-border settlement model.

In addition, Yang Jinyan, executive director of the Center for Application of Law at China Government University, conducted a detailed review and interpretation of China's blockchain policies, focusing mainly on trends and risks. He also shared the opportunities and legal and regulatory risks in each sector from the perspective of the entire blockchain industry chain .

Wonderful business capital discusses blockchain's feasible path to boost the digital economy and empower the real economy

The rapid development of blockchain is inseparable from the efforts of enterprises. Many participating companies from home and abroad shared their innovations in blockchain technology applications at the conference.

Su Daoxian, the chief technology officer of Columbus, the organizer of this conference and a leading enterprise in the blockchain field in Anhui, pointed out that blockchain technology is the underlying infrastructure of the new generation of value Internet.

We believe that the future is a new era of distributed intelligent economy. From digital economy to intelligent economy, computing power will constitute the basic source of social development. From data flow to value flow, the planet we live in is changing from information flow to a new value flow. The value flow will produce a vacuum of power. This is a new era of computing power for new blockchain and digital technology. Columbus is a new generation of high-performance blockchain public chain, positioned in the future blockchain and distributed underlying infrastructure, and will provide a new empowerment platform for the traditional real economy. This positioning, which is in line with the future development direction of the digital economy, has also been highly recognized by the guests.
