Build a digital transformation winning base and explore the back of Jiangsu's digital economy

The 14th Five-Year Plan clearly proposes to promote digital industrialization and industrial digitalization, and promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy. How to go deep into the industry scenario, deeply combine digital technology with industry knowledge, truly integrate into the main business process, solve core business problems, and promote experience improvement, efficiency improvement and model innovation has become an important topic of digital transformation.

Jiangsu, as a "pioneer", has taken the lead in exploration and tasted the surging momentum brought by digital transformation. In the past few years, Jiangsu's digital economy has shown a good development trend of rapid scale growth, accelerated innovation and integration, and continuous emergence of new formats. The latest statistics show that the scale of Jiangsu's digital economy exceeds 4 trillion yuan, ranking the forefront of the country, accounting for more than 40% of GDP.

From this point of view, the digital economy has not only become a new engine to promote the high-quality development of Jiangsu, but also a new economic form leading the future development of the regional economy. Committed to strengthening the rich and beautiful high-tech Jiangsu, the digital economy is only the prologue, and it is even more necessary to continue to innovate ideas, accelerate the breakthrough of problems, and forge the key "key" of digital transformation.

Behind Jiangsu's digital economy

All along, Jiangsu has a solid foundation for manufacturing and the real economy, and at the same time has grasped the opportunities of digitalization, networking and intelligent development, and has successively issued a series of policy documents for the development of the Internet economy, big data, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet, etc., such as the "Jiangsu Province Big Data Development Action Plan", "Suggestions on Deepening the Development of the Digital Economy", "Jiangsu Province's "14th Five-Year Plan" Digital Economy Development Plan", "Jiangsu Province's "14th Five-Year Plan" Digital Economy Development Plan", "Jiangsu Province's "14th Five-Year Plan" Digital Economy Development Plan", "Jiangsu Province's "14th Five-Year Plan" Digital Economy Development Plan", "Jiangsu Province's "14 Jiangsu Province's three-year action plan for intelligent transformation and digital transformation of manufacturing industry (2022-2024) has promoted the transformation of growth mode from factor-driven to innovation-driven, which has laid a solid foundation for Jiangsu's development in the field of digital economy.

At present, all parts of Jiangsu are actively seizing the strategic opportunities of the digital economy. For example, Nanjing actively builds a famous digital economy city, strives to create a national digital economy innovation and development pilot zone, and gives full play to Nanjing's benchmarking role in the construction of a strong province with science and technology and the construction of a national innovative city. Accelerate the R&D and application of digital technology and integration and innovation, take the lead in making breakthroughs in new retail, digital finance, digital health and other fields, and become an important engine for the development of Nanjing's digital economy; Suzhou issued the "Suzhou Three-Year Action Plan for Promoting Digital Economy and Digital Development (2021-2023)", implemented the "Made in Suzhou" three-year action plan for brand building, accelerated intelligent transformation and digital transformation, and launched the implementation of 169 key digital economy projects this year. Strive to add more than 600 billion yuan in the core industries of the city's digital economy by 2023; in addition, Wuxi has introduced a three-year action plan for the development of the digital economy, is opening a new track of trillions of digital economy, and strives to build a national digital economy demonstration city.

It can be seen that the key reason why Jiangsu can achieve national leadership in the field of digital economy is:

One is innovation. Jiangsu has established the core position of innovation in the overall digital economy, concentrated on improving Jiangsu manufacturing, promoting the digital and intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry, developing the industrial Internet, and actively creating a national "5G + industrial Internet" integration application pilot zone, relying on innovation to drive the sustainability and high-quality development of Jiangsu's digital economy.

The second is openness. As the "vanguard" of the high-quality development of China's digital economy, Jiangsu also carries the important mission of driving the development of the digital economy in the Yangtze River Delta region. The Yangtze River Delta region has always been one of the most dynamic regions in China's economy, and is at the forefront of industrial digitalization and digital industrialization. In the recent "14th Five-Year Plan" proposal, it is also proposed that in the future, it is necessary to accelerate digital development, promote digital industrialization and industrial digitalization, promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, and create an internationally competitive digital industrial cluster. In this regard, Jiangsu's successful experience in exploration and practice in the field of digital economy also plays an important role in leading and promoting the future development of the integration of the Yangtze River Delta.

Third, talent. As a large province of education and a strong province of education, Jiangsu has a strong foundation of digital economy talents and is at the forefront of the country in terms of scale and quantity. In this process, Jiangsu also adheres to the concept of "gathering the world's talents and using them", which also has great research and development potential in core areas such as high-end software, big data analysis, and artificial intelligence, and has emerged fruitful results.

Fourth, low carbon. Jiangsu also took the lead in proposing "striving to reach the peak before the country reaches the peak", which is a concrete action for Jiangsu to practice the new mission of "striving to be an example, striving to be a demonstration, and walking in the forefront", and it is also the responsibility of this economic province to explore the way for the country's green development. It is understood that this year, Jiangsu will formulate and implement the peak of carbon dioxide emissions and the "14th Five-Year Plan" action plan to promote the development of green and low-carbon cycles.

It can be seen that through a series of constructions of innovation, openness, talent and low carbon, Jiangsu has made concerted efforts to build a number of influential digital industry development leading zones, industrial digital transformation demonstration zones, and digital technology application pilot zones in the country to achieve national leadership.

Step through the deep waters of digital transformation

Of course, digital transformation is a systematic project that has been "on the run for a long time", but it is still "a long way to go". From Jiangsu's exploration and practice of the digital economy, it can also be seen that when digital transformation enters the "deep water area", the digital transformation of industry enterprises will enter the stage of model innovation and change. Therefore, only by giving full play to their respective advantages, jointly building and sharing digital platforms, and forming complementary capabilities can we cross the "deep water area" of digital transformation.

As a successful practitioner of digital transformation, Huawei has implemented its digital transformation strategy through "three goals, five transformations, and three key capabilities". In the process of digital transformation, Huawei has also accumulated "full stack" product capabilities, "hard core" product technologies, open "digital platforms", and "knowledgeable" scenario-based solutions, and helped industry enterprises complete the digital transformation journey of "deep water areas" by integrating industry wisdom to solve industry problems.

First of all, in order to better meet the transformation needs of customers in different digital stages, Huawei can provide five types of offers, including leading new ICT technologies, industry scenario-based product portfolio capabilities and cloud, pipe, edge, and terminal architecture capabilities, cloud capabilities (application enablement, data enablement, and AI enabling), data assetization capabilities, and promote industry standardization, digital consulting and integration capabilities, and auxiliary operation capabilities, enabling intelligent upgrades in thousands of industries and building all-scenario wisdom. Inject new momentum into the digital economy.

Secondly, Huawei has built a digital platform that can identify the "Lego bricks" of general technology and the "HELLA cells" of general services, and enable and accelerate the process of industrial digitalization and industry digitalization through a new way of open source co-construction and service-oriented openness.

Finally, Huawei has always insisted on going from the practice of industry scenarios to the development of industry scenarios, and worked with partners to create scenario-based solutions to meet the diverse business scenario needs of enterprises.

Lay a solid foundation for digital transformation

As we all know, the "14th Five-Year Plan" period is a critical period for the development of the digital economy. In this context, Huawei, together with many enterprises in Jiangsu, has continued to explore and practice in the digital industry and industry digitalization based on the new digital transformation "methodology" and digital transformation wisdom base, and has paved an innovative path for crossing the "deep water area" of digital transformation.

In terms of aligning core production factors, with the deepening of digital transformation, data has become a new factor of production. Huawei and Nanjing Iron and Steel have cooperated in the field of data governance, promoting the development of digital NISCO business with clean, transparent, and intelligent enterprise data, building a data management and data operation system, accelerating the transformation of data to resources and assets, making data a new engine for promoting the development of NISCO's digital economy, and further improving the level of intelligent manufacturing technology.

In terms of consulting and planning, relying on Huawei's practice and guidance, YauTi Microelectronics has built digital capabilities in six areas, including company strategy, marketing, R&D, manufacturing, human resources, and process IT, and improved customer experience and internal operational efficiency through process reform and digital transformation planning, so as to build a world-class management system and help YauTec Microelectronics become the world's leading manufacturer of camera modules and fingerprint recognition modules.

In terms of in-depth industry business scenarios, Huawei joined hands with the Jiangsu Department of Finance to build the "Jiangsu Financial Cloud", jointly with Yangzhou Emergency to create a new benchmark for emergency response that can be felt, visible, and controllable, and jointly with Gulou Hospital to build a new generation of "hospital intelligent body"; jointly with Garden Expo to create a digital experience of Smart Garden Expo; jointly with Soochow University to build a 360° smart classroom; and jointly with Sinopec Sales Co., Ltd. Jiangsu Petroleum Branch to create a new experience of "senseless payment" smart gas station...

In the face of the new situation, new tasks, and new requirements, Huawei will deeply participate in the intelligent transformation and digital transformation of cities, and build more industry scene buildings on this open "Lego building block". Join hands with more industry partners to build a new digital economy ecology that shares and integrates innovation, innovates a new model of digital society development, and builds a new format for the development of the digital economy. It will also make full use of Huawei's information technology accumulation in emerging industries such as intelligent manufacturing and big data applications to maximize the release of new value in the development of the digital economy and promote the sustained and high-quality development of Jiangsu's digital economy.
