Cloud and Innovative Technology — Revolutionizing Traditions, Empowering the Future

Emerging digital technologies like cloud computing, blockchain, and AI are undergoing rapid and iterative innovation. The integration between these technologies and various market entities has accelerated significantly. In the era of Web3, computing power has emerged as the new core productivity prism, and data has become a pivotal factor of production.

Under the continuous empowerment of cutting-edge digital technologies like blockchain, cloud computing, and mobile computing, traditional market entities are undergoing decentralization reforms. Conventional barriers of time and space are being shattered, and challenges such as data silos and information gaps are gradually being resolved.

Digital information technology and related industries are progressing toward the “cloud-edge” computing era. It is vital to note that “cloud” and “edge” are not entirely independent, mutually exclusive, or substitutable. On the contrary, they should coexist and interconnect harmoniously. Revolutionary transformations are taking place within the entire internet and digital information industry, fueled by cutting-edge digital technologies such as cloud computing and mobile computing.

As the global digital economy accelerates its development, the focus of attention in the worldwide market lies in empowering the digitalization and intelligent transformation of traditional industries based on cutting-edge digital technologies such as blockchain, cloud computing, and mobile computing. Furthermore, enhancing the standardization and regulation of the digital economy industry has become a pressing concern.
