In the midsummer of August, the heat wave is surging, and the "Digital Chain Valley" built by the river in Shibei High-tech Park in Jing'an District is also becoming a hot "famous park" among many industrial parks in Shanghai. Since the beginning of this year, an average of 3 blockchain-related companies have settled in Jing'an every month, located in Shanghai's first blockchain-themed industrial cluster. Step by step, the "grand blueprint" of Jing'an to build a new highland for the development of Shanghai's blockchain industry has been slowly launched.
Four years ago, Jing'an District seized the "outlet" of blockchain, with Shibei High-tech Park as the core, and took the lead in proposing the construction of "Shanghai Blockchain Ecological Valley" in the city, and subsequently, became the only area in Shanghai to be selected as a "National Blockchain Innovation and Application Comprehensive Pilot".
After four years of gaining momentum, Jing'an District is taking the blockchain ecological valley as the core to build a pilot demonstration area for blockchain development and application in Shanghai featuring an application innovation ecology, that is, the "Digital Communication Chain Valley", to seize the new development opportunities for transformation in the digital era.
Nearly 100 high-quality blockchain companies gather here
Since last year, a number of application-oriented enterprises such as Pujiang Digital Chain, Tianyi Vision Link, Left Bank Xinhui, and China Micro Zhizhu have successively settled in the "Data Communication Chain Valley", and the industry involves education, agriculture, Internet of Things, intelligent manufacturing, intellectual property rights and other subdivisions.
Behind the influx of enterprises,
It's the blockchain industry
A good ecology that thrives here.
Since taking the lead in the exploration and practice of the innovation and development of the blockchain industry in the city four years ago, the "Datacom Chain Valley" has gone through three stages: "project layout, industrial agglomeration, and function improvement", making steady progress and constantly refreshing the "progress bar".
After four years of gaining momentum, at present, nearly 100 blockchain-related enterprises have gathered in the nearly 70,000 square meters of office space of "Datacom Chain Valley", with a total registered capital of more than 5.4 billion yuan, and the brand effect continues to improve. The construction of the main chain of five major blockchain innovation application platforms, including government government services, social public services, industrial innovation and development, industrial financial services, and Yangtze River Delta collaboration, has been completed one after another with 15 blockchain innovation application scenarios covering more than 10 industries such as finance, education, medical care, and social welfare, and a "pioneer area" for the application of blockchain technology has begun to take shape.
In the past two years, a number of high-quality enterprises in the park, such as AntChain, Qulian, Yilian, Tortoiseshell, and PeerSafe Bit, have been on the list of "Top 100 Chinese Industrial Blockchain Enterprises", promoting industrial digitalization and digital industrialization from digital technology, digital economy, industrial finance, logistics supply chain, smart food safety and other fields.
Plant a science and technology tree and flourish industrial forests
With the gradual advancement of construction,
"Digital Chain Valley"
As an important technological innovation base for blockchain
The agglomeration effect is constantly highlighted:
The Institute of Blockchain Technology of the Shanghai Academy of Sciences has realized the independent and controllable key technologies in the cross-chain operating system and sandbox verification system, AntChain provides a highly specialized innovation ecosystem and the underlying blockchain platform, the Tortoiseshell Information has developed the blockchain financial BasS platform, and the Left Bank Xinhui "Shennong Pocket" tool helps agriculture-related entities realize the integrated operation and management of digital production and marketing......
In September 2023, a milestone in Shanghai's construction of a blockchain innovation and development system laid the "foundation" in Shibei High-tech Park - Pujiang Digital Chain Company was officially established. Only one month later, Shanghai's "Pujiang Digital Chain" blockchain infrastructure system was launched immediately, expanding the construction of city-level chain groups and chain alliances, providing small and medium-sized enterprises with on-chain public services, and providing overall on-chain solutions for large-scale chain owners and industry ecology, so as to build a blockchain innovation and development system, form a market-oriented and sustainable "Shanghai Digital Chain Model", and take a solid step forward in promoting the coordinated development of technology, industry, application and ecology.
On this fertile industrial soil where a number of new technologies, new industries and new forms of business are gathered, the park relies on "big data + blockchain" as the technical support, vigorously introduces a number of leading enterprises, chain owners and hard-core technology enterprises, and provides rich application scenarios, so that the "science and technology innovation seedlings" accelerate their growth in the market test, and dozens of enterprises have gone through the entrepreneurial stage of "from 0 to 1" here.
As one of the first enterprises to settle in the "Pujiang Digital Chain" Industrial Development Alliance, Xinyi Technology is a vivid example of "blockchain +": Bupleurum chinensis, skullcap, coix seed...... A TCM prescription issued by the hospital is "chained" and quickly synchronized to the mobile phones of TCM decoction manufacturers and consumers, so that patients can intuitively see the type of medicinal materials, soaking time, decoction times, etc.
As the leading role of "Pujiang Digital Chain" continues to amplify, more blockchain "famous enterprises" have come to expand the successful practice of enterprises in various "blockchain +" fields, form more replicable and promotable digital innovation scenarios and technology applications, and form a national model of high-quality development.
Build a pilot demonstration area for blockchain development and application in Shanghai
At present, Jing'an District has taken the "blockchain" industry as an important starting point for a new round of scientific and technological innovation and development of "linking the future", and has built a pilot demonstration area for the development and application of blockchain in Shanghai featuring an application innovation ecology, with Shibei High-tech Blockchain Ecological Valley as the core, that is, "Digital Communication Chain Valley".
Through the forward-looking layout of the new track of integrated development of blockchain and metaverse, Web3.0, embodied intelligence, etc., we will actively grasp the trend of blockchain technology integration and application and future development trends, and strive to seize the commanding heights of future industrial innovation.
In the process of promoting the coordinated development of "blockchain + trusted data", Jing'an District is formulating the "Special Support Policy on Promoting the Development of the Blockchain Industry", which will give full play to the guiding role of government funds and provide multi-level financial services such as angel investment, equity investment, and post-investment value-added for blockchain enterprises with the help of socialization. In the future, "blockchain + finance", "blockchain + shipping", "blockchain + commerce" and "blockchain + industry" will ...... A number of "new benchmark" scenarios of typical application demonstration projects are expected to "come to fruition" in different fields.
not only let the "elephant dance", but also create the "ant soldier"; It is necessary not only to "focus on making efforts", but also to "make breakthroughs on the surface". From the perspective of combining the underlying logic and the top-level design, Jing'an is striving to take the road of collaborative development of concept-driven scenarios, scenario-driven applications, and application-driven innovations:
Efforts will be made to integrate various scientific and technological innovation resources such as the national incubator Juneng Bay, the Shanghai Open Data Innovation Application Incubator (Soda Space), the Institute of Blockchain Technology of the Shanghai Academy of Sciences, and the SAP Global Science and Technology Innovation Empowerment Center, and jointly launch the international innovation network layout with the "Hong Kong Cyberport", so as to accelerate the construction of a benchmark incubator and an international investment platform.
Recently, in order to further accelerate the application and ecological construction of blockchain scenarios, "Shibei Discussion Chain" and "Pujiang on the Chain" and other symposium salon activities have carried out "brainstorming" around blockchain hot topics, typical cases of industrial applications, industrial development trends, etc., and in the future, a roadshow mechanism and a "horse race" mechanism will be built to promote the accelerated integration and development of the blockchain industry innovation chain, application chain and value chain, attracting "phoenixes" from all parties.
From 0 to 1 and from 1 to N+1, Jing'an District is relying on the brand of "Data Communication Chain Valley" to ensure the efficient and safe circulation of data with "chain channel" (blockchain technology and infrastructure), and to promote the application of blockchain scenarios with "data channel" (driven by the demand for efficient data circulation).
In the next three years, Jing'an District will strive to build a blockchain industry application innovation ecological rainforest with perfect infrastructure, agglomeration of chain master enterprises, efficient circulation of on-chain data, complete cross-chain capabilities, and active scenario application ecology, so as to realize "chain world, connect the world" and become a highland for the ecological development and demonstration of blockchain applications in Shanghai.
