Welcome to Nanjing!

On August 21, the Nanjing Jianye Digital Economy and AIGC Industry Conference successfully convened to further promote the application of Artificial Intelligence and Generative Computing (AIGC) in the industry and foster a new digital economic ecosystem. As a gathering of industry leaders and experts, the conference featured in-depth discussions on the digital economy under the themes of "New Industry Insights," "Industry Leadership," "Business Applications," and "Industry Exploration," unveiling the new potential of the AIGC industry.

Nanjing's Jianye District, a key component of the modern international city center and urban hub in Jiangsu Province, has consistently seized the momentum of digital economic development. It has nurtured and expanded the core industries of the digital economy, positioning itself at the forefront of national digital economic development. As AIGC content continues to diversify and enters the commercialization and scale-up phase, its development will significantly impact the future trajectory of the digital economy.

Jianye District, known for its high level of modernization, comprehensive urban infrastructure, and concentration of innovation and entrepreneurship talent, is now focusing on the "Finance + Digital Economy" as its leading industry. The district is dedicated to building a core concentration area for important financial centers, aiming to create a "headquarters cluster, rising highland, and exemplary model" for Jiangsu's digital economic development. With industry leaders like Alibaba and Xiaomi leading the way, Jianye is establishing the province's most dynamic digital economic innovation ecosystem.

To capitalize on the strategic opportunities of digital economic development and promote the construction of the digital economy in Nanjing Jianye, in 2021, Jianye High-Tech Zone partnered with the "Chuangye Heima" (Entrepreneurship Black Horse) initiative to establish the "Heima Nanjing Digital Economy Industry Accelerator." Leveraging Jianye's robust foundation in the digital economy industry and the extensive experience and resources accumulated by "Chuangye Heima" over its 14-year history of serving thousands of innovative startups, the accelerator facilitates resource connections and business upgrades for companies and founders through ecological acceleration, reusable methodologies, successful practices, and resource linkages, empowering high-quality development of Nanjing's digital economy.

As AIGC content continues to diversify and enters the commercialization and scale-up phase, its development will significantly impact the future trajectory of the digital economy. In line with industry trends, the region is taking advantage of this opportunity by partnering with "Chuangye Heima" to launch the "2023 Heima AI Innovation Competition." Participating companies will gain access to cutting-edge industry information, resources, and opportunities for upstream and downstream connections in the industry chain. They will also have the chance to collaborate with leading AIGC industry investment firms, positioning themselves ahead in the development of the digital economy.

During the event, the region and "Chuangye Heima" jointly launched the Jianye High-Tech Zone Digital Economy Industry Alliance, with a mission to "empower digital economy industry startups and promote high-quality development of the digital economy industry." Through live broadcasts, industry summits, competitions, salons, training, industry chain resource connections, industrial visits, and investment and financing guidance, the alliance provides comprehensive support to empower businesses in the digital economy sector.
