In the first half of the year, the 2023 Metaverse Industry and Talent Summit Forum and AIGC Development Conference in Jiangning, China was successfully held, and 16 industrial projects were signed and settled in Jiangning High-tech Zone. Up to now, Jiangning High-tech Zone has introduced 300 digital economy enterprises, including the metaverse, and in the past two years, the revenue of core industries has exceeded 7 billion yuan per year.
While emerging industries represented by the "metaverse" continue to emerge, the "three new" economy has reshaped traditional industries with unimaginable strength and speed, and promoted the direction and structure of economic development.
