2. Digital technology and digital economy: strategic choices to build new competitive advantages
Digital strategy helps seize new opportunities in the development of the digital economy. In today’s era, digital technology is leading a new round of global technological revolution and industrial transformation, pushing economic and social development into a new stage of digitalization, networking, and intelligence. Digital technology, with its innovativeness, subversiveness, permeability and integration, continues to focus on key core areas such as blockchain, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, information and communication technology, etc., giving birth to the digital economy as a new economic form. . The digital economy has the characteristics of multiple elements, high aggregation, wide application, wide radiation, and strong driving force. It is a new driving force for economic growth, a new engine for social progress, and a new advantage for national competition. Countries around the world have followed the development trend of the times, formulated strategic plans, promulgated and implemented digital economy development policies, accelerated digital transformation, and competed for the commanding heights of the digital economy. The position of the digital economy in the national economy has become more stable and its supporting role has become increasingly significant. Our country already has the soil and foundation to build a strong digital economy. It is of great significance to implement the digital economy development strategy and formulate the “14th Five-Year Plan” digital economy development plan. It is the key to seizing the new opportunities of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation and realizing the strategic goal of becoming a network power. inevitable choice.
Digital strategy activates new momentum for digital economic development. The development of the digital economy leads the development direction of the new era and injects new vitality into the Chinese economy.
