Digital transformation has become the new normal for enterprises and social development, and while digital transformation brings about efficiency improvement, innovation enhancement and customer experience improvement, it is also accompanied by technical challenges, data security risks and the need for organizational change. As the world's largest developing country, China has made remarkable achievements in the field of digital transformation, and the pace of building a digital China has been accelerating. In order to deeply discuss the development trends, opportunities and challenges of digital transformation and promote the construction of digital China to a higher level, the CCF China Digital Economy 50 Forum and the Digital China Forum of Shanghai Yangtze River Delta Business Innovation Research Institute, with the strong support of Hengdian Group, jointly held a "Digital Transformation Seminar" in Hengdian, Zhejiang Province on April 19 around the theme of the critical path of enterprise digital transformation.

At the seminar, Secretary-General Cheng Xueqi first introduced the overview of the CCF China Digital Economy 50 Forum to the participating experts, as well as the background reason for holding the symposium, that is, the basic situation and research progress of the consultation and evaluation project of the Faculty of the Chinese Academy of Sciences "The Path of Digital Transformation to Help Build a Modern Industrial System". Subsequently, researcher Zhao Junfeng focused on "digital transformation ecological construction", Professor Dou Zhicheng focused on "large models help digital transformation", associate professor Huang Keman from the School of Information of Renmin University of Chinese University focused on "data elementalization in digital transformation", researcher Jin Xiaolong focused on "enterprise digital transformation strategy", associate professor Yang Bo from the School of Information of Renmin University of Chinese University focused on "digital transformation implementation plan", and associate professor Si Huayou from the School of Information Engineering of China Jiliang University focused on "data circulation and trading based on digital warrants" and other key issues in the process of digital transformation of enterprises. The whole report threw out a series of highly enlightening insights, which triggered extensive thinking and in-depth exchanges among the guests.
Throughout the seminar, Academician Mei Hong paid close attention to the views of each expert and added some personal insights from time to time. In the summary of the meeting, Academician Mei pointed out that digital transformation is essentially business reconstruction and optimization of business processes. Since it is reconstruction and optimization, there must be the elimination of some departments of the enterprise, or even some enterprises, just like the emergence of the car leads to the disappearance of the carriage, which is a major social problem in digital transformation. However, Academician Mei also pointed out that digital transformation is not a matter of one or two days, but may be a process of several decades, just like the industrialization process, almost a hundred years, and in this time span, enterprises should have enough room to adapt. In addition, on whether AI+ can effectively promote the digital transformation of enterprises, Academician Mei talked about his own views, he pointed out that AI+ is a major direction advocated by the government, in fact, it is necessary to carefully analyze the limitations that AI+ may have, for example, large models in the field of culture, video, film and television, will indeed produce some things, but simple chat, dialogue is not production. Therefore, how to adopt AI+ to promote digital transformation needs to be further studied. Finally, Academician Mei suggested that as far as the research work of the research group is concerned, enterprises can be classified and pointed out the path of survival and development for all kinds of enterprises under the tide of digital transformation.
At the end of the meeting, the CCF China Digital Economy 50 Forum and the Digital China Forum also put forward preliminary suggestions on the cooperation between the two sides, and will continue to promote the implementation in the future. It is believed that with the active promotion of experts and committee members, the linkage of the two forums will be able to form complementary advantages, make more and more influential results, promote the digital transformation of the industry, and promote the rapid development of new quality productivity.
