It is worth mentioning that in this epidemic examination, from "cloud office" to "cloud class", from intelligent manufacturing to 5G new infrastructure, from helping enterprises turn crisis into opportunity to enabling modern governance ... Acceleration of digital technology Application has become a "weapon" for the epidemic, and it has also become a new economic growth point.
In response to the "epidemic", the new kinetic energy of the digital economy has accelerated to rise, demonstrating the resilience and potential of the Chinese economy. At present, from the central ministries to local governments, we are accelerating the promotion of the digital economy to become bigger and stronger. By creating “new infrastructure”, developing new businesses, and improving the level of urban governance, we can make high-quality development more solid and more successful.
Digital technology empowerment
Efficient progress in return to work and production

The new economic enterprises represented by the Internet platform make full use of the advantages of data, technology, and capital, and have hatched new models such as unmanned distribution, which have effectively promoted the supply-side digitalization process of China's service industry.
In the manufacturing industry, intelligent manufacturing supported by the Industrial Internet and artificial intelligence has better withstood the impact of the epidemic, and the rate of resumption of work and production has accelerated significantly.
The intelligent AGV trolley that shuttles back and forth, the production site is fully automated, and the material does not land on the production site. The intelligent robots that continuously wield robots for automatic and accurate operations, the intelligent three-dimensional warehouse that automatically recognizes materials and automatically leaves the warehouse ... During the epidemic, Shandong Inspur Smart factories are working hard to produce high-end servers. "Because of the high level of automation and intelligence, the resumption schedule and efficiency of smart factories are far better than traditional factories. The number of workers has been reduced by at least half, but the production efficiency can be increased by 2.5 to 3 times." Kong Liang, vice president of Inspur Group, told reporters .
Not only that, digital governments and smart cities have played an important role in fighting the epidemic, and urban governance systems have therefore been continuously improved. For example, in order to achieve precise anti-epidemic and orderly resumption of work, local governments and enterprises have creatively introduced "health codes". At present, relying on the nationwide integrated government service platform to share information, the "health code" in most parts of the country has been able to achieve "one yard of traffic".

At present, from the mode innovation at the micro end, to the industry change at the meso level, to the overall advancement at the macro end, it is accelerating the formation of a digitally empowered innovation-driven full chain and large ecology.
Recently, from central ministries to local governments, support measures have been frequently introduced to build a new engine for the digital economy. The meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee emphasized to accelerate the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G networks and data centers. The executive meeting of the State Council pointed out that it is necessary to increase support for "Internet +" and platform economy, strengthen the new format of the digital economy, rely on the industrial Internet to promote traditional industries to accelerate online and online clouds, develop online and offline integrated service services, and support the development of shared employment. platform.

The fiber access rate and 4G access rate in administrative villages have exceeded 98%. The network scale is leading globally and performance indicators are among the best. During the epidemic, more than 63,000 4G and 5G base stations were newly built, further improving network capabilities.
In the view of Zhao Guodong, the leader of the National Development and Reform Commission's Digital Economy New Infrastructure Research Project Group, digital infrastructures such as large-scale Internet platforms and network services have stood the test and become the basis for the development of the digital economy. The epidemic has pressed the fast-forward key for the development of the digital economy.
At present, Shandong and other places are accelerating the deployment of new infrastructure represented by 5G, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet, and the Internet of Things. They continue to promote the digital upgrade of traditional infrastructure such as transportation, energy, water conservancy, and municipal services, and strengthen high-quality economic and social development.
