At present, the digital economy has become a new engine for global development in the "post-epidemic era", and my country has also elevated "welcoming the digital age" to a national strategic level. At the 2021 Tencent Digital Ecology Conference that just passed, Tencent invited many professional experts in the industry to discuss new trends and new opportunities for digital and real integration. At the same time, it also brought a series of "accelerating digital and real integration" blockbuster solutions. Digital construction in various fields in the region has injected strong momentum.

Efforts to integrate digital reality and Tencent's main push "Four Engines"

With the continuous and in-depth development of the digital economy, "digital and real integration" in various industries in society has become a major trend. According to data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, my country's digital economy has reached 35.8 trillion yuan in 2019, accounting for 36.2% of GPD; in 2020, it will reach 39.2 trillion yuan, accounting for 38.6% of GDP, a year-on-year increase of 9.7%.

At this conference, Tang Daosheng, senior executive vice president of Tencent and president of the cloud and smart industry business group, also discussed the impact of the development of digital technology and the industrial Internet on the society and economy from the three aspects of social public services, smart manufacturing and consumer markets. The strong support for development made a theme sharing. He believes that "the value boost to the physical industry is an important criterion for measuring the development of the industrial Internet."

In recent years, Tencent is actively embracing the industrial Internet and has created more than 400 industry solutions in more than 30 industries, including industry, agriculture, government affairs, healthcare, education, travel, finance, and retail, with 9,000 partners.

1. Create a user engine that introduces user understanding into industrial R&D, production, marketing, and service to help companies serve people and activate growth; 2. Create a technology engine that integrates cutting-edge digital technology with the industry to provide better use for industrial upgrading , Easy-to-use tools; Third, create a security engine, with cloud native and zero trust as the core, shape the security base of the industrial Internet era, so that where there is data, there is security guard; Fourth, create an ecological engine, through digital technology and resources The inclusive and openness of China will allow “digital nutrients” to nourish the entire ecological chain of the industry.

As a key element of the current integration of digital and real, security issues are often raised by people. In this regard, Ding Ke, Vice President of Tencent and President of Tencent Security, also brought us a professional interpretation from the three dimensions of joint construction of security vendors and customers, joint construction of enterprise business and security, and joint construction of security ecology. He said that security is the basic guarantee for the healthy and sustainable development of the digital economy, and it is also a “must-answer question” for all enterprises and governments. Sustainable development and people's good life provide a solid guarantee.
