Following its commitment to systematically promoting the growth of Metaverse-related industries in Beijing, creating an urban-focused technological innovation highland, and helping Beijing create a benchmark city for its digital economy, the government is set to build a Metaverse in Beijing.
The government reveals that it is committed to deploying the construction of the sub-center with top-quality development as its theme.
Using a coordinated strategic action plan, the government says it will build Beijing International Science & Technology Innovation Center and implement the plans for Beijing to build a global digital economy benchmark city within the sub-center of the city.
Following the introduction of technical resources, it will focus on the buildup of digital content, the creation of industrial ecology as support, and the demonstration of application scenarios as tractions.
The goal is to strongly promote the development and innovation of the Metaverse industry in Beijing and also promote the in-depth integration of the real economy and digital technology.
