A new round of technological revolution triggered by AI is in full swing in the national and even global markets. How to seize the window of opportunity for AI to empower innovation and entrepreneurship? On July 16, the 2024 Fourth "Makers' Journey" was launched in Beijing, guided by the China Industrial Development Promotion Association and the Innovation Service Center of the Beijing Association for Science and Technology, and co-organized by Tianjiu Science and Technology Association and Tianjiu Boss Cloud. Focusing on topics such as AI top-level design, investment logic, and cutting-edge trends, it explored new paths for innovation and entrepreneurship in the AI ​​era.

Li Xiaojun, vice president of the China Industrial Development Promotion Association and president of the Industrial Innovation Branch, and member of the 10th Committee of the Beijing Association for Science and Technology, said that the development of Chinese makers and Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises is inseparable from "the right time, the right place, and the right people". In order to provide opportunities and create conditions for makers to start businesses, in recent years, favorable policies such as tax cuts and fee reductions, financial support, etc. have been frequently introduced from the central government to local governments. This is the real "right time". Measures to optimize the business environment, such as easing market access and promoting fair competition, have built a solid "geographical" advantage for makers to start businesses. "People" refers to the collaboration and communication between makers and the environment, the market and the market, individuals and groups, and groups and groups. In this regard, activities such as the "Makers' Thousand Miles" have played an important role. Faced with the entrepreneurial road where opportunities and challenges coexist, Li Xiaojun called on makers to join the "Makers' Thousand Miles" and the Tianjiu Sharing Digital Platform to seek development by jointly building a new business ecosystem.

Under the general trend of artificial intelligence, how should enterprises go about digital transformation? Li Shengfeng, a PhD from Cambridge University, vice chairman of Tianjiu Science and Technology Association, and director of the board of directors of Tianjiu Sharing Group, believes that the world's leading companies by market value are practicing digitalization. Artificial intelligence can provide differentiated competitive advantages for private enterprises, but it needs to be coordinated and combined with big data, cloud computing, etc. to release the maximum value. In particular, private enterprises can use artificial intelligence as an entry point for digital transformation, and with the power of the enterprise empowerment platform, promote transformation from three dimensions: digitalization of business and marketing, digitalization of operations and management, and digitalization of ecology and organization.

The AI ​​wave is halfway through, has the investment logic changed? Which tracks are the most popular?

Liu Zhixing, Secretary-General of the Zhongguancun Zhongke Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Foundation, said that "AI+Education" can free parents' hands, solve the problem of educational inequality, and has received policy support and broad market prospects.

Yu Dachuan, director of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center of the School of Business and Economics of the University of Hong Kong, mentioned that AI technology is a field with potential, but investment decisions should be based on comprehensive analysis and consideration, rather than just chasing hot spots. There may be risks in using it as the only basis for investment decisions.

Shao Yan, a senior investment research expert at Tianjiu Shared Development Group, pointed out that whether entrepreneurs have clear goals, the ability to continuously iterate and innovate, unyielding perseverance and an optimistic attitude are all important considerations for investors when screening entrepreneurial teams.

With the rapid development of AI technology, what are the new application scenarios of "artificial intelligence + industry"?

Min Haibo, chairman of Bingo Intelligence, pointed out that algorithms, computing power, and scenarios are the three major elements of artificial intelligence, and the advantages and opportunities of small companies are in the scenarios. Computing power is a violent aesthetic, suitable for large companies or entrepreneurs with deep pockets.

Li Pan, founder and chairman of Zhifu Technology, said that AI digital technology can enable the transformation and upgrading of the clothing industry and ultimately change the way consumers buy and wear clothes. Zhifu Technology hopes to use the power of AI to subvert the traditional custom clothing industry.

Xiaoshui Intelligence CEO Sun Xuefeng mentioned that if companies want to develop better in the AI ​​era, they need to solve the talent problem, while maintaining an open mind, exploring larger markets, and connecting with more partners.

In addition to exploring industry trends through dialogue, the conference also released the Maker "Chain"-2024 Collaborative Ecosystem 6.0 strategy, which aims to build a new business ecosystem for innovative and entrepreneurial people through a hyper-chain model of resources, connections, technology, markets, and other things.

Afterwards, the 2024 Fourth Makers' Journey will also build an intelligent, precise, and efficient high-value communication empowerment platform for makers through heavyweight activities and reports such as insights into 10 major innovative industry trends, private salons in 10 major dual-innovation cities, an 180-day "Excellent Circle Leader Honor Ceremony", and 100+ industry bigwigs' IP incubation.
