on september 26, the "2024 china digital economy innovation development conference" opened in shantou city. nearly 3,000 experts and scholars in the field of digital economy at home and abroad and representatives from all walks of life gathered in shantou to jointly explore the new development of digital industry and discuss the new future of digital economy. at the opening ceremony of the conference, the first satellite named "shantou" "shantou digital no. 1" was officially named and released at the opening ceremony of the conference. it is planned to be officially launched in shandong in early november, which will help the development of a series of emerging industries such as the internet of things and low-altitude economy in my country.
as a famous hometown of overseas chinese and one of the first special economic zones in china, shantou connects the guangdong-hong kong-macao greater bay area and faces southeast asia. it has the advantages of first-class submarine cable bandwidth, transmission speed, innovative policies, and channel prices in china, and is an important intersection of domestic and international data circulation. since its establishment and landing in shantou in 2022, the china digital economy innovation and development conference has always adhered to the high-end positioning of "based in shantou, focusing on guangdong, facing the whole country, and radiating southeast asia", and is committed to building a national digital economy industry exchange and cooperation platform and an important window for international cooperation.
the reporter found that the previous two china digital economy innovation and development conferences have attracted nearly 5,000 guests, 27 academicians, signed 45 projects with a total investment of 46 billion yuan, and driven the industry scale to exceed 100 billion yuan. it has become a weather vane for the development of my country's digital economy and contributed wisdom and strength to promoting the innovative and high-quality development of the digital economy.
at the 8th plenary session of the 12th shantou municipal party committee held recently, shantou sent out a stronger signal of vigorously developing new quality productive forces - to improve the system and mechanism for developing new quality productive forces in accordance with local conditions, establish an investment growth mechanism for future industries, and proactively plan industries including the low-altitude economy. support enterprises to take the lead in shantou to carry out original, cutting-edge, and disruptive scientific and technological innovation, and strive to seize the commanding heights of the industry and grasp the initiative in development.
riding on the "east wind" of the china digital economy innovation and development conference, shantou has accelerated the layout of digital industries and seized the "new outlet" of the digital economy. among them, the "satellite launch" one of the "highlights" of this china digital economy conference is a specific measure for shantou to implement the deployment of accelerating the development of new quality productivity and digital economy.
according to reports, the "shantou digital no. 1" satellite, as an important supplement to the country's existing satellite network and major projects, will help the development of a series of emerging industries such as my country's internet of things, low-altitude economy, big data, commercial aerospace, military-civilian integration, and 5g internet of everything.
at the same time, relying on its status as the connecting point between the guangdong-hong kong-macao greater bay area and the straits economic circle, as well as its geographical advantages on the maritime silk road, shantou will build the shenzhen aerospace satellite "south china satellite data tracking and control center and data distribution center (shantou)" to cultivate and incubate aerospace technology and application services serving china's southeast coast and the "belt and road initiative", accelerate the development of new quality productivity, and steadily promote high-quality development.
"'shantou digital one' is the 33rd satellite among the 38 satellites in our apocalypse constellation. by the end of this year, we will be able to have a satellite pass over shantou every 10 to 15 minutes." cai shaojie, general manager of shenzhen hangke satellite technology co., ltd., said in an interview with yangcheng evening news that the reason why they chose to build a satellite data tracking, control and distribution center in shantou was mainly due to shantou's unique and superior location and digital infrastructure advantages. "our tracking and control station is located in shantou, with a radiation radius of about 1,500 kilometers, which can better serve my country's southeastern coastal areas and 'belt and road' partners."
cai shaojie revealed that the south china satellite data tracking and control center and data distribution center (shantou) will be located in the shantou overseas chinese experimental zone. the initial services will focus on scenarios such as the internet of things and emergency rescue. "in the event of disasters or power outages, the support capacity of the ground network is insufficient. we can use the integrated application of satellite space, ground and space to transmit real-time data including disaster monitoring in real time and provide it to relevant departments for decision-making support."
cai shaojie said that shantou is located at the midpoint of the guangdong-hong kong-macao greater bay area and the straits economic zone. they are very optimistic about shantou’s unique location advantages, digital economy policies, and infrastructure advantages. they hope that the "shantou no. 2" and "shantou no. 3" satellites can be launched into space in the future. they also hope that the satellite component production, ground terminal equipment and other industrial chains can be settled in shantou in the future.
with the continuous development and application of digital technology, the integration of air, space and land will become one of the important trends and directions for future development. in recent years, shantou has seized the historical opportunity of the development of the digital economy and continuously covered the application of digital scenarios. the "first move" in the layout of new fields this time is accumulating momentum for the transformation from "following" and "running side by side" to "leading".
