Recently, the General Office of the Jiangsu Provincial Government issued the "Three Year Action Plan for High Quality Development of the Digital Economy in Jiangsu Province (2025-2027)"

The Action Plan points out that by 2027, the data element market system in Jiangsu Province will be basically established, and the added value of the core industries of the digital economy will reach 1.8 trillion yuan, promoting the number of high-tech enterprises in the province to exceed 12000 within the effective period of the digital economy

Among them, in promoting key core technology research and development, we focus on key areas such as artificial intelligence, 6G technology, and integrated circuits, and deploy about 40 digital technology research and development projects every year

Support various innovative entities to jointly carry out technological breakthroughs and promote the research and development of cutting-edge technologies such as deterministic networks, quantum technology, blockchain, and metaverse. Fully support the Industrial Artificial Intelligence Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to accelerate its construction

Support the construction of an intelligent network model for Purple Mountain Laboratory. Targeting key fields such as manufacturing, education, construction, transportation, culture and tourism, healthcare, finance, and government affairs, we will build over 30 high-quality datasets for various industries and over 60 typical application scenarios with strong demonstration and wide driving force, promoting the application of artificial intelligence big models

Give full play to the role of national new generation artificial intelligence public computing power open innovation platforms such as Nanjing Intelligent Computing Center, promote the standard rack number of computing power centers in the province to reach 800000, and the intelligent computing scale to exceed 25EFLOPS

At the same time, we will promote the pilot construction of future industries such as third-generation semiconductors, quantum technology, and humanoid robots to cluster and develop in advance. Support the national pilot of digital networking in Nanjing and Suzhou, orderly promote the access of data circulation nodes, and promote cross regional and cross industry data circulation and utilization in more than 5 key industries

Deepen the application of digital technologies such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence, innovate smart service scenarios, and promote balanced and inclusive high-quality services such as employment, education, healthcare, medical insurance, elderly care, childcare, housing, and transportation. Building smart communities and creating digital homes. Continuously optimize platform functions such as "Jiangsu Smart Cultural Tourism" and "Tianmu · Jiangsu"

According to data, in 2024, 16 industries in Jiangsu's new cultural formats, including animation and gaming digital content services, digital publishing, and wearable smart device manufacturing, achieved a revenue of 431.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.5%, and continued to grow for three consecutive years on the basis of 341.2 billion yuan in 2022 and 382 billion yuan in 2023

Specifically, in early April, the first VR project in China with Dongyi culture as its theme, "Tianshu Wonderland," was released in Lianyungang. This project uses digital technology to recreate the scenes of ancient Dongyi civilization. Tourists can wear VR devices to become "time travelers" and freely explore ancient villages. The first large-scale VR themed cinema in Nantong allows audiences to immerse themselves in Egypt, touch the pyramids, experience the bustling streets of the Tang Dynasty, or drive vehicles to escape the solar storm. The Shouxihu Universe Immersive Exploration Base has transformed research and learning activities from "one-way teaching" to "active exploration" through LBVR technology

Among them, the Yangtze River Delta (Yancheng) Digital Audiovisual Industry Base focuses on sub sectors such as simulation interaction, virtual reality, and "AI+", and has built a complete digital audiovisual industry chain, gathering 78 enterprises
