Recently, the Shandong Provincial Government website announced "Jinan Metropolitan Area Development Plan (2024-2030)".

The plan clearly states thatby 2030, the total economic volume of the metropolitan area will exceed 3 trillion yuan, and R&D investment will increase by more than 10% annually. In terms of new digital economy formats, support leading digital economy companies in establishing industrial ecological cooperation mechanisms, jointly organize digital economy project promotion activities, and promote the implementation of about 200 digital economy projects.

• Lay out technology research and development and integrated innovation tasks in fields such as quantum technology, blockchain, and metaverse, and build a technology system that will lead future industrial innovation and development.

• Accelerate the construction of Jinan National Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Application Pilot Zone, create an "artificial intelligence +" integrated open platform, and cultivate Artificial intelligence industry cluster with core competitiveness

• Lay out a new generation of high-performance computing facilities and big data processing platforms to promote Jinan's national E The supercomputing center is integrated into the national distributed supercomputing Internet system to build an edge computing node resource pool

In the new round of technological revolution In this wave, the digital economy has become one of the key industries that many cities are vying for. As the core position in the construction of a strong digital province in Shandong, Jinan has made great efforts to improve the development level of core industries of the digital economy in recent years.

In 2023, the scale of Jinan’s core digital economy industry will reach 655.9 billion yuan, and both the scale and proportion of the core digital economy industry’s added value will rank among the top in the province; In 2025, the scale of Jinan's core digital economy industry will reach 800 billion yuan, and the scale of the digital economy will account for more than 52% of GDP.

At the level of the Metaverse, Jinan has successively issued a number of policies, emphasizing its full support for the cultivation of the Metaverse's innovative ecology, and the development of "Metaverse + Manufacturing" and "Metaverse + Wisdom" The construction of key application scenarios of "Metaverse+" such as "City", "Metaverse + Cultural Tourism", "Metaverse + Education and Training", "Metaverse + Medical Health" and other "Metaverse+" willgive support of up to 10 million yuan.

Liu Qiang, Secretary of the Jinan Municipal Party Committee, also pointed out that the Metaverse is an important frontier field of the new generation of information technology. It is necessary to be demand-oriented, continuously expand application scenarios, and enrich the product supply of the Metaverse.

In terms of computing power alone as the “cornerstone” of the Yuanverse industry, Jinan has become a veritable highland of China’s computing power, supplying more than one-third of our country’s computing power. Server, more than 50% of AI computing power. Key projects such as Huawei (Jinan) Artificial Intelligence Computing Center and Baidu Intelligent Cloud (Jinan) Intelligent Computing Center have been accelerated.

In 2023, Jinan's computing power scale will reach 1900P, ranking first in the province. The verification computing cluster built by the National Supercomputing Jinan Center topped the 10-node research list. It also opened Jinan's national-level Internet backbone direct connection points, completed the main capacity building of the "Spark Chain Network" super node, and built a 5,600-kilometer deterministic backbone network covering 16 cities in the province.

In addition, the first batch of enterprise technological innovation project plans in Shandong Province in 2024 have begun to be submitted. This year, "future industries" have been added to the enterprise technological innovation projects. Special projects encourage enterprises to focus on future industries such as the metaverse, artificial intelligence, life sciences, future networks, quantum information, humanoid robots, deep sea, space and space, and strengthen forward-looking research layout.
