The 2019 Zhongguancun Forum - Industrial Internet Platform and Future Industry Development Parallel Forum was held at the Zhongguancun Exhibition Center on Oct 16, 2019.

In recent years, with the scientific and technological revolution and the industrial changes it has brought, the new generation of information technology and the real economy are converging. The industrial Internet has increasingly become the strategic focus of industrial transformation and upgrading and the core in reshaping competitive advantages.

As the core of the industrial Internet, the industrial Internet platform has greatly improved the quality and efficiency of China's industrial economy and has become an important force driving and empowering the development of future industries. The Party Central Committee and the State Council have attached great importance to the Industrial Internet Platform.

Since the State Council issued the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the development of "Internet + Advanced Manufacturing Industry" and Developing the Industrial Internet" in 2017, China has accelerated the development of the industrial Internet with the joint efforts of the government, enterprises, universities, research institutions and users.

According to reports, based on the theme of "platform-driven, empowering the future", experts and scholars from domestic and international industrial Internet fields, and representatives of industry associations and outstanding enterprises, discussed the status quo and trends in industrial Internet platforms and future industrial development.

They shared practical experience and excellent cases from the perspective of the overall work deployment of industrial internet platforms, the comparison of industrial Internet platforms at home and abroad, and the construction and application of major industrial Internet platforms, promoting future industrial development.

This sub-forum will be based on the 2019 Zhongguancun Forum. Founded in 2007, the Zhongguancun Forum is an international and comprehensive science and technology innovation forum with "innovation and development" as its permanent theme, and an annual theme is set based on the hot issues of the year.

Over the last ten years, the Zhongguancun Forum, which has continuously disseminated innovative ideas and promoted international exchange and cooperation, has been highly recognized by innovators and entrepreneurs, and has become a leading forum in the field of scientific and technological innovation.

The forum was jointly sponsored by the China Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team, the Zhongguancun Management Committee, the Beijing Shijingshan District People's Government and the Zhongguancun Development Group.

It was undertaken by the Zhongguancun Information Technology and Real Economy Integration Development Alliance (formerly the Contemporary Service Platform for Integration of Informatization and Industrialization) and the Zhongguancun Shijingshan Sub-park Management Committee.

Under the theme of "platform-driven, empowering the future", the forum has attracted nearly 200 people, including experts, scholars, business representatives and representatives of social organizations in related fields.
