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.
