The 2022 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit takes place from Nov 9 to Nov 11 in Wuzhen, East China's Zhejiang province.
With the theme of “Toward a Shared Digital Future in a Connected World — Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace”, this year's summit is empowered by artificial intelligence, cutting-edge technologies, and big data.
The summit is not only a chance to present the latest achievements in the internet industry but also a chance to show the comprehensive application of modern high-tech.
Many cutting-edge technology applications, such as AI, the metaverse, augmented reality and virtual reality, have been employed to provide visitors with an interactive experience in conference venues, exhibition areas, scenic spots, and townships during the summit.
To achieve the coverage of 5G signals, 40 10-gigabit optical cables are connected during the summit.
Compared with the first WIC in 2014, visitors can feel the fast development of the internet.
A total of 2,165 5G base stations were built in the city, of which 279 are located in Wuzhen.
To ensure the internet bandwidth capacity, the bandwidth capacity in important places has been doubled.
More than 400 domestic and foreign companies from 40 countries and regions display their latest products through on-site and online exhibitions. The new products and technologies include digital infrastructure, digital common prosperity, and cyberspace governance.
To provide a platform for companies that cannot participate in offline exhibitions, the conference initially launched the Internet Light Cloud Exhibition Hall.
Fifteen cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements made by world-leading internet giants from China and abroad were unveiled at the event dubbed "the Oscars for the industry" at the 2022 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit on Nov 9 in East China's Zhejiang province.
The achievements cover basic theories, technologies, products and business models on internet, which were chosen from 257 domestic and international applications.
Starting from May, the World Internet Conference started to solicit achievements in the internet industry and has received wide attention and positive response from all over the world.
