Southern Finance and Economics all-media reporters Zhang Yating and Ma Jialu report from Guangzhou

On December 15, on the occasion of the first anniversary of the release of the national "20 Data Articles", the National Data Bureau solicited opinions from the public on the "Data Element ×" Three-Year Action Plan (2024-2026) (Draft for Comments) (hereinafter referred to as the "Draft for Comments"), revealing that it will carry out key actions from 12 major fields, and strive to show the multiplier effect of data elements in the field of economic development by 2026, create more than 300 typical application scenarios, and the average annual growth rate of the data industry will exceed 20% , the size of data transactions has doubled.

The "Data Element ×" action plan has a good practical foundation, which not only has a high degree of continuity and progressiveness with the important work in the early stage such as the "Internet +" action and the digital transformation partnership action, but also is based on rich and diverse business practices in various fields and regions.

According to the analysis of the interviewed experts, the draft for comments has carried out a top-level design from the perspective of scenario traction, reflecting the adherence to the value orientation of "focusing on practical results", which will provide more meaningful directional guidance for the practice of various entities at all levels and boost confidence in the development of the data element market. In the next step, it is necessary to continuously improve the basic institutional system of the data element market and guide the extensive participation of social forces.

A value-oriented booster

Why not "Data Element +", but "Data Element ×"?

Liu Liehong, director of the National Data Bureau, revealed in a public speech in November that he was studying the "data element ×" action, and it was necessary to exert efforts from both ends of supply and demand.

This means that it is not a single empowerment "+", but the embodiment of the "multiplier effect" of production factors, data by acting on different subjects, combined with different factors, can produce different degrees of multiplier effect, to achieve the multiplier effect of promoting economic development.

The draft for comments mentions that through the implementation of the "× of data elements" action, the advantages of the mainland's massive data scale and rich application scenarios will be brought into play, and the multiplier effect of data in different scenarios will be promoted, and the advantages of the mainland's basic data resources will be transformed into new advantages for economic development.

This points out the direction for the current city to explore the development of the data element market-mining the value of data for application scenarios, which also clarifies the development path of data element valorization.

Feng Haihong, executive director of the Big Data Strategy Research Center of the Institute of Science and Technology Strategy Consulting of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, analyzed that the value of data elements needs to be reflected in specific aspects such as improving social governance capabilities, improving production and operation efficiency, and creating new forms of business and new kinetic energy.

"The reform of the market-oriented allocation of data elements should adhere to the value orientation, avoid one-sided advocacy and seek the so-called 'data finance', but in the process of creating economic and social value, we should continue to explore new models and new mechanisms for the empowerment of data elements. Feng Haihong said.

Wang Chunhui, chief expert of network and data rule of law decision-making consulting of the China Association for Science and Technology and a dual-employed professor at the School of Cyberspace Security of Zhejiang University, said that the introduction of the three-year action plan of "data element ×" in the future will greatly promote the deep integration of data elements and the economy and society.

Recently, the public auction of public data resource concessions in landed cities has aroused widespread doubts in society. Wang Chunhui pointed out that the use and release of public data resources should not be guided by government profits, but should focus on the real economy and people's livelihood services, such as manufacturing, scientific and technological research and development, financial services, commercial circulation, shipping and logistics, modern agriculture, as well as public health, medical and health, cultural tourism, transportation and logistics, health and elderly care, etc., so that the majority of people and all kinds of enterprises can enjoy more dividends brought by public data elements.

Give full play to the multiplier effect of data elements

For the implementation of the three-year action of "data element ×", the draft puts forward specific goals.

By the end of 2026, the breadth and depth of data element application scenarios will be greatly expanded, and the multiplier effect of data elements in the field of economic development will be revealed, creating more than 300 typical application scenarios with strong demonstration, high visibility and wide driving force, the average annual growth rate of the data industry will exceed 20%, the scale of data transactions will increase by 1 times, and the scale of on-site transactions will be greatly increased.

What is the multiplier effect of data elements? Liu Liehong once publicly stated that the multiplier effect of data elements is manifested in the following ways: First, to achieve global optimization through collaboration, improve the efficiency of industrial operation, and enhance the core competitiveness of the industry. The second is to expand the boundaries of production possibilities through reuse, release new value of data, and expand new space for economic growth. The third is to promote quantitative change and qualitative change through integration, give birth to new applications and new business formats, and cultivate new momentum for economic development.

The key words of "synergy", "reuse" and "melting" are also reflected in the draft for comments. The guiding ideology is clear, focusing on promoting the collaborative optimization of data elements, reuse and efficiency, and the integration and innovation of data elements.

Ma Yanxin, director of the Digital Government and Digital Economy Rule of Law Research Center of South China Normal University, further analyzed that the collaborative optimization of data elements, on the one hand, refers to the synergy of various data to play a greater role, for example, the industry data space coordinates the data on the industrial chain, rather than the value of separate data. On the other hand, there is the synergy between data elements and other elements, for example, loan approval is the synergy between data elements and capital elements. The efficiency of data element reuse is to improve the multi-subject reusability of data, truly "make the best use of data", and at the same time increase the new efficiency of data, continuously improve the quality of data in multiple uses, break through the output limit under the constraints of traditional resource elements, and expand new space for economic growth. At present, the digital government realizes "filling in forms in one place, available everywhere" and plays a role in various fields, which is a manifestation of data reuse and efficiency. The integration and innovation of data elements is the integration and application of public data and social data, as well as the integration and application of social data itself, which produces new business formats in the process of data fusion of different types and dimensions.

Scene traction is more grounded

The high-level application of data elements is inseparable from scenarios. In many previous local practices, the basic principle of "no scene, no transaction" was followed, and a data element circulation ecology was established through scenario traction. The "Key Actions" chapter of the Draft for Comments is classified and planned in detail according to scenarios, and a blueprint is drawn for the future construction of the data element market from the perspective of top-level design.

According to Wang Chunhui's analysis, it can be seen from the twelve key actions of "data element x" that the draft focuses on the real economy, people's livelihood services and social governance. Taking "data elements × intelligent manufacturing" as an example, data is the foundation of the intelligent economy and the core means of production of intelligent manufacturing, but in the process of transformation from manufacturing to intelligence, there are generally pain points such as massive data scale, strange data formats, and diverse data generation equipment. Through "data resources + intelligent computing power + trusted algorithms", it can not only solve the common problems encountered in the transformation of manufacturing to intelligence, but also provide rich data element application scenarios for intelligent manufacturing. At the same time, as the input side itself, data elements can drive and form the corresponding industrial chain and supply chain, that is, to realize the empowerment of data elements in the fields of commercial circulation, transportation, financial services, medical health, and scientific and technological innovation.

This has directional guiding significance for the subsequent development of data resources by various micro subjects at all levels and local governments. Chen Duan, director of the Digital Economy Integration and Innovation Development Center of the Central University of Finance and Economics, believes that the process of digital revolution needs to be driven by the market and policies to avoid problems such as unbalanced and insufficient development. The open pilot of scenario supply at the national level can boost the marketization and industrialization process of data elements and drive cross-border integration and innovation.

Under this guidance, each innovation entity can combine its own characteristics and advantages to focus on deep cultivation, through the activation of the multiplier effect of data elements, break through the output limit under the constraints of traditional resource elements, give birth to new formats and models, and expand new space for economic growth.

In Ma Yanxin's view, using application scenarios to solve specific problems emphasizes more practical implementation than the "20 Data Articles" as a basic solution, and has a strong industry, scenario and demand. He suggested that on this basis, the synergy between the upstream and downstream of the data chain can be more prominent, and the institutional norms for the trusted circulation of the industry data chain or industry data space can be formed, and a reusable system module can be formed to guide various industries.

Experts suggest improving the institutional system

The release of the draft for comments has boosted confidence in the development of the data element market. The basic principle of "effective market, promising government" requires giving full play to the role of market mechanisms, promoting the effective allocation of data resources, and strengthening the dominant position of enterprises in activating the value of data elements.

Feng Haihong said that this will further enhance the confidence and enthusiasm of market players, especially private economic market players, especially for all kinds of data vendors and data on-site trading venues. All industries and regions need to earnestly implement the overall deployment of the construction of a unified national market system, adhere to the combination of innovation and exploration and normative guidance, and create a fair market order in the national integrated data element market system.

Regarding the draft for comments, Feng Haihong suggested that the overall coordination role of the Digital Economy Joint Conference and the National Data Bureau should be effectively brought into play, and a strong guiding and supporting role should be played in pilot demonstrations and special fund support. At the same time, establish and complete systems for the guidance and regulation of data trading venues, data vendors, and third-party professional service bodies. Give full play to the role of national high-end think tanks and professional service institutions, and strengthen professional forces in areas such as effectiveness evaluation, model summarization, and case screening.

In order to better coordinate and deal with the digital production relationship that is compatible with the development of data productivity, Wang Chunhui believes that it is necessary to build a complete basic system of data elements, fully stimulate the effective play of the multiplier effect of data productivity, and gradually promote the digital economy to an advanced stage.

Chen Duan also believes that whether dormant data can be effectively transformed into new data kinetic energy should not only give full play to the advantages of massive data resources, but more importantly, build a matching data operation and development capability system, further refine the design of systems and mechanisms, and promote the implementation of the action plan. This requires the intervention of more social forces and innovation subjects to activate the endogenous power of innovation subjects in the data element market. "The top-level design is 'band conductor', and it is also necessary to gather more innovative forces from all walks of life to sing this 'chorus' together. ”

"The construction of data infrastructure systems involves economic transformation, social stability, national security and other aspects, and faces challenges and uncertainties in the process of formulation and implementation. Therefore, it is necessary to better play the role of data elements, explore and study the basic laws of data property rights, transactions, circulation, distribution and governance from the integration of 'production, education, research and application', coordinate the development and security of the data element market, respect and respect the laws, improve in practice, and develop in exploration. Wang Chunhui said.
