Blockchain: Trillion Yuan Focal Point Of The Chinese
Government and Economy
On 20 April 2020, China's National Development and Reform
Commission (NDRC), the cabinet-level department that draws up
policies and strategies for the direction of the Chinese economy,
has expanded its definition of "new infrastructure" to include
blockchain technology.
Investment in new infrastructure is expected to comprise 7%-12%
of all infrastructure spending, with China International Capital
Corporation (CICC) seeing new infrastructure investment of between
1-1.8 trillion yuan. As
blockchain technology is becoming one of the major technical forces
to boost the post-COVID economy, WAIC intends to open more
discussions around its development.
With the theme of "Intelligent Connectivity Indivisible
Community", this Conference will be a high level platform
attracting the most influential scientists and entrepreneurs around
the world as well as government leaders to converse and talk about
the technological frontiers, industry trends and provoking issues
in forms of speeches and high-level forums.
VeChain will capitalize on this massive opportunity to pitch and
share our experience and solutions to all stakeholders attending
the conference. We are confident that our reputation and experience
in solving pain points in the business world will convince even
more partners to come onboard and expand our networking
opportunities.
