China International Big Data Industry Expo 2022 will be held online on May 26, 
2022. As the world's first national-level expo with the theme of big data, this 
expo has been held for seven consecutive sessions since 2015. Looking back, a 
series of highlights impressed us.

In 2015, the expo issued the Big Data Guiyang Declaration and a great number of 
cutting-edge technologies and products in the industry.

The expo was upgraded to a national-level event the next year. It also released 
videos and published reports overseas for the first time, covering North 
America and parts of Europe and Southeast Asia.

During the next two years, the expo showed a batch of significant technologies 
and products. For instance, China International Big Data Industry Expo 2018 
exhibited China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope 
supercomputing technology for the first time.

In 2019, several high-end dialogues were held on the most influential topics in 
the industry, such as 5G, artificial intelligence and the industrial Internet. 
Also, a series of professional forums were held in the five major sections 
including technological innovation, data security, digital economy, integration 
development, cooperation and exchange.

China International Big Data Industry Expo 2020 launched a series of activities 
and innovated the content and form of communication. 16 sponsoring media made 
full use of new technologies and means of news communication to produce a large 
number of attractive content, including H5, animations and short videos, etc.

The expo was held both online and offline for the first time in 2021. It 
realized the cloud conference, cloud exhibition and cloud negotiation on a 
global scale, which further promoted the expo to become a major international 
event in the industry.

This year, the expo will closely follow the annual theme of "grabbing new 
digital opportunities and enjoying digital value". Compared with previous 
years, the forum setting and the release of results will focus more on the 
national digital economy development strategy and pay more attention to 
cutting-edge science and technology. Based on Guizhou's strategic positioning, 
China International Big Data Industry Expo 2022 will also emphasize innovation 
in the transformation of technological achievements, and hope to explore 
experience for industrial upgrading and the construction of digital China.

To be specific, this year's expo will closely follow the trends of the global 
Internet, big data, cloud computing, digital twins and metaverse to explore new 
opportunities for a digital technology revolution and industrial 
transformation. Furthermore, this expo will focus on the deep integration of 
big data with the real economy, social governance, people's livelihood, and 
rural revitalization. The use of data to transform traditional industries in a 
full-chain manner will also be involved.

In February, 2022, China announced the establishment of eight national 
computing hubs and 10 national data center clusters, which would channel more 
computing resources from eastern regions to less-developed but resource-rich 
western regions. Therefore, China International Big Data Industry Expo 2022 
will highlight this new move and the construction of China's Big Data Valley.

More importantly, the deep integration of big data and the real economy is 
inseparable from the transformation and application of innovative achievements. 
This year's expo will thus present awards for global big data leading 
scientific and technological achievements, negotiate with the owners of the 
relevant achievements, and give policy support to those who have successfully 
signed the contract.

At the same time, the expo will continue to strengthen the follow-up services 
and publicity of the relevant awards, make key recommendations for particularly 
outstanding scientific and technological achievements, and organize roadshows. 
Overall, this year's expo will strive to promote the application of 
high-quality achievements and help first-class enterprises develop.

In order to satisfy the audiences, this year's expo will take advantage of new 
means of communication. For instance, the expo will use smart conference 
services, virtual beings, blockchain and low-latency transmission technologies. 
In this way, this expo will provide an interactive platform for online 
exhibitions and business matching to the world, and bring an immersive 
experience to the audience.

In recent years, Guizhou has accelerated the construction of the country's 
first national-level comprehensive pilot zone for big data, and big data has 
been its strategic choice to promote economic transformation and high-quality 
development. According to statistics, Guizhou's growth rate of the digital 
economy has ranked the first in the country for 6 consecutive years.

China International Big Data Industry Expo has also developed into an 
international event to showcase the latest achievements and lead the 
development of the industry. The expo can create a world-class platform for 
exchanging development ideas and creating opportunities for cooperation. This 
year's expo will also make history.
