On August 25, the First Scenario Conference of Western (Chongqing) Science City was held, releasing a list of opportunities in key application scenarios in 2021 to the world, with the value exceeding one hundred billion yuan. The conference is the first major external event planned and held by Chongqing High-tech Industrial Development Zone together with Shapingba, Jiulongpo, Beibei, Jiangjin, and Bishan districts of the Western (Chongqing) Science City since the inauguration of its Party Working Committee and Management Committee. It is the practice of the "one core and five areas" in the Science City to advance high-quality integrated development and build a development pattern of "five-area integrated development led by one city."
The First Scenario Conference of Western (Chongqing) Science City (iChongqing/ Mu Xuelin)
This Scenario Conference focuses on major project construction, important sci-tech frontiers, and key industrial development across the Science City, revolving around four key categories of scenarios, namely new modes of urban governance, new cross-border industry integration, a new experience of people's livelihood services and new applications of future science. It released 30 scenario projects and 70 scenario opportunities, involving a total investment of nearly 240 billion yuan. Among them, the opportunities related to the above-mentioned four key categories of scenarios welcome the participation of all sectors of society in the joint construction of the Science City.
New modes of urban governance: To create exemplary scenarios for the display of new technologies closely revolving around major projects
In the fields like transportation, energy, and ecology, the city invested 126.5 billion yuan in total to launch six scenarios around urban governance. They include Science Avenue Intelligent Transportation, Jiangjin Smart Business District, Taojia City Center Intelligent Integrated Management, Chongqing Smart Railway Port, Jiangjin District Elevator IoT Application Demonstration, and Beibei District Smart Pilot Parking. It applies artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, and other technologies in the digital empowerment of new governance forms and models to raise the level of urban management.
New cross-border industry integration: To stimulate new driving forces for the cultivation of industrial scenarios around industrial development
Focusing on the demand for digital intelligent management and transformation and upgrading the leading industries in the industrial parks of the science city, ten scenarios with a total investment of 75.3 billion yuan were released in the fields of digital parks and intelligent manufacturing. They are the Smart Park of the Science Valley, Qingfeng Hi-tech Smart Park, the Smart Park of Chongqing Sensor Application Base, Tuanjie Lake Smart Park of Jiangjin District, the Smart Park of Bishan High-tech Zone, Jiulongpo Smart Factory, Big Data Management of the Industrial Chain of the Science City, Online Management of Asset Digitization of Chongqing High-tech Industrial Development Zone, the Creative Digital Cultural Block of Chongqing High-tech Industrial Development Zone, and Chongqing Adaptation Test Center for Information Technology Application Innovation. Efforts will be made to plan demonstration scenarios with the application of smart technology as the core and new products and models emerging continuously, promote the development of a number of leading industry solutions, and thus create industrial support points.
New experience of people's wellbeing services: opening new integrated applications for public services in the new smart city
The focus will be on important integrated fields, such as residents' daily medical care, education, travel, and entertainment. There are eight scenarios with a total investment of 23.1 billion yuan released. These include Smart Transport of Bishan SkyShuttle Rubber-tyred Tram, Jiulongpo Digital Film and Television Technology Experience, Smart Venues and Digital Stages of the Culture and Arts Center of the Science City, Western (Chongqing) Creative Culture Competition, Smart Apartment Demonstration of Chongqing High-tech Industrial Development Zone, Cloud-based Medical Care Digitalization of Chongqing High-tech Industrial Development Zone, Smart Education Demonstration of Chongqing High-tech Industrial Development Zone, and the Responsive Buses of Chongqing High-tech Industrial Development Zone. Efforts will be made to pilot the application of various new technologies and products to provide people with opportunities to get close to and experience cutting-edge technologies, strive to improve the quality of urban service and life in the science city and build it into a home for scientists and a city for entrepreneurs.
New applications of future science: building new support for innovation scenarios with cutting-edge technologies
Based on the positioning of the science city as a core area of a science and technology innovation center, six scenarios with a total investment of 13.5 billion yuan were released to leverage the resource advantages of major platforms, institutes, and facilities. They are Application Demonstration of Jiulongpo Hydrogen Energy Park, Application Demonstration of the Bishan Space Solar Power Station, Quantum Communication Network of Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle, Application Demonstration of Quantum Technology in Finance, Full-scenario Application of "Yuxinlian" Blockchain Technology, and Science and Technology Resources Sharing and Interconnection of the Science City. Efforts will be made to design, innovate and achieve more, create application scenarios for pioneering application demonstrations of future science, and fully unleash the impetus for science and innovation and the effectiveness of science and technology.
