everyone Hello, leaders, distinguished guests. I am very happy to be able to participate in today's forum to discuss with you 5G empowering the digital future.
2021 is the starting point of a new decade. A wave of innovation driven by a new generation of connection technology is coming, and we are rapidly moving towards a world where people and everything are intelligently interconnected. The integration of multiple technologies is driving this trend, including extremely fast 5G connections, high-performance low-power computing, and terminal-side AI technology, driving the development of a new generation of intelligent edge terminals and cloud computing. The combination of 5G, AI and cloud will strongly promote innovation and economic growth, empower new business models, new services and new sources of income, and accelerate the digital transformation of many industries.
In the short two years since the commercial launch of 5G, we have seen that the development momentum of 5G commercialization has exceeded all expectations. More than 170 operators worldwide have launched 5G services. The number of global 5G connections is expected to exceed 1 billion in 2023-two years sooner than 4G achieves this number. In China, 5G commercial development has achieved outstanding results.The network and user scale are leading the world. Today, China has initially built the world's largest 5G mobile network, covering all prefecture-level and above cities across the country. According to the latest statistics released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as of the end of June 2021, the number of 5G terminal connections in China has reached 365 million. In July this year, 10 departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "5G Application "Sailing" Action Plan (2021-2023)", which established China's 5G development goals for the next three years, focusing on promoting 5G applications in 15 industries including the Industrial Internet. Promoting the large-scale development of 5G industry applications has become an important measure to promote high-quality economic development, empower the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, and enhance the resilience of the industrial supply chain.
The combination of 5G and AI will have an important impact on our daily life experience from a new dimension, including a high degree of personalization, interactivity and contextual relevance. Just as we can listen to music online today, we will be able to watch 4K online in the future. Even 8K video. In the future, video social networking will have higher resolution videos and richer audios, providing us with more exciting services. Augmented reality (AR) will change the way we observe and interact with the world around us. For example, when traveling abroad, it will become common to use the mobile terminal to align signs or menus to view real-time translation. The game will make full use of the advantages of the cloud, relying on almost unlimited computing power to provide a more immersive, more exciting, and amazing multi-player gaming experience. This is just the beginning of our vision of the infinite possibilities in the 5G era.
5G and AI will not only transform the user experience, but will also promote the digital transformation of almost all industries. According to the forecast of the market research company IHS, by 2035, 5G will create 13.1 trillion U.S. dollars in economic output globally and will create more than 20 million jobs, including millions of jobs in China.
5G and AI are supporting new features in the automotive industry to make the driving experience safer and more enjoyable. Based on 5G cellular vehicle networking (C-V2X), cars will be able to directly communicate with other vehicles, pedestrians and infrastructure, and exchange road and traffic status information in real time. They can also share driving intent, trajectory, and location information to support more predictable collaborative autonomous driving, saving time and energy, reducing accidents, and reducing mortality. 5G cellular car networking (C-V2X) combined with AI,It will support a higher level of autonomous driving, greatly improving safety and convenience. 5G and AI will also transform the in-car experience, provide more personalized cockpit configurations and content for drivers and passengers, and bring digital lifestyles into the in-car space.
5G and AI will also have an important impact on industrial use cases and manufacturing. In the future, factories will be highly intelligent, with intensive deployment of sensors, industrial robots and head-mounted display equipment in the factory area, and transmission of previously undeveloped data to the cloud through an optimized, scalable and highly reliable 5G enterprise private network. This will not only help manufacturing companies improve their automation level and control efficiency, they can also obtain real-time data, improve business insights, and make decisions faster and more accurately.
In the industrial field, there are huge opportunities for creating smarter supply chain logistics and improving port management. Shipping is of vital importance to the global economy, and more than 80% of the world's cargo transportation is by sea. A large number of containers are being transported in ports. Naturally, more and more port operators hope to use 5G enterprise private networks and AI to improve operational efficiency and safety. By connecting everything to the cloud, managers can monitor all aspects of port operations no matter where they are.
5G and AI play an important role in the whole process of healthcare. During the epidemic, telemedicine has become part of the new normal, and this change may evolve into a long-term phenomenon. It is estimated that half of the medical services in the United States will be completed through the cloud by 2030, and similar trends are expected to occur in China and other countries and regions around the world. These changes will help the medical and health industry expand the scope of services, reduce costs and improve effectiveness, benefiting people of all income levels.
Qualcomm is the world's leading wireless technology innovator, as well as a driving force for 5G R&D, commercialization and realization of scale. Since its establishment, Qualcomm has firmly believed in the power of "connection". We have been dedicated to the development of wireless basic technology to solve the most complex challenges facing the industry. Our invention has changed the way the entire world communicates and calculates, benefiting billions of people around the world.
Qualcomm always takes R&D first, constantly breaking the boundaries of mobile technology. In order to gain 5G leadership, it is necessary to continue to invest ahead of the industry and promote innovation. Because the research and development of basic technology must be forward-looking, it must lead the industry for about 5-10 years, which means that when the previous generation of technology has not been fully commercialized,To carry out the research and development of next-generation technologies, the company is required to have continuous investment in research and development. For more than 30 years, Qualcomm has successfully achieved this: continue to invest in research and development, and share our research and development results with the ecosystem. For a long time, Qualcomm has insisted on investing more than 20% of its fiscal year's revenue into research and development. So far, the accumulated investment in research and development has exceeded 71 billion US dollars.
In order to realize the vision of 5G, we have been working closely with the global ecosystem to help 5G innovation. Through Qualcomm's business model, basic technology, and advanced platforms and solutions, we help empower and expand the ecosystem, and accelerate innovation on a global scale. Qualcomm supports the development of the ecosystem through a wide range of projects and activities, including the provision of leading technical training, regional market insights, start-up business incubation projects and terminal testing equipment.
In China, Qualcomm maintains a close cooperative relationship with the Chinese terminal ecosystem. The "5G Pilot Program" makes us proud. In January 2018, Qualcomm and many leading Chinese mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiaomi, OPPO , vivo, Lenovo, ZTE and Wingtech launched the "5G Pilot Program". The vision of this program is to support The accelerated deployment of 5G will help Chinese partners succeed in the domestic and global markets. The "5G Pilot Program" is considered to be an excellent case in which multinational companies have promoted global innovation through innovation around China in recent years. At the 2020 China International Trade in Services Fair held in September last year, the "5G Pilot Program" was awarded the "Service Demonstration Case Technology Innovation Award" by the organizer. This is a recognition and encouragement for Qualcomm and its Chinese partners to work together.
The innovation opportunities brought by 5G are not limited to the field of smartphones. The field of Internet of Things is gestating new innovation opportunities and huge development opportunities. In July last year, in order to accelerate the construction and development of the IoT industry ecosystem and enable Chinese manufacturers to better grasp the opportunities in the domestic and foreign markets, Qualcomm and more than 20 partners jointly initiated the "5G Internet of Things Innovation Plan". , Ecological cooperation, and digital upgrade to promote the innovation and win-win situation of the Internet of Things industry.
For many countries,The development of 5G is a great opportunity to transform to an innovation-driven economy. The key to realizing this demand lies in the establishment of a sound intellectual property system to promote innovation. Enterprises bear a lot of risks when they invent and develop new technologies and products. Putting intellectual property protection in place will help encourage companies to take risks and innovate. Countries with a strong intellectual property protection system will have a higher level of foreign investment, more innovative output, a larger amount of research and development activities, a higher proportion of employees engaged in high-paying high-tech jobs, and greater potential. Able to produce and export complex knowledge-intensive products. A sound intellectual property system will ensure that the country realizes the benefits of innovation and economic growth. China has long recognized the importance of a sound intellectual property system. The rapid development and progress in China's improvement of the intellectual property system and protection in recent years has proved this.
The 5G-driven future will inspire endless opportunities, far beyond people's imagination. Through continuous and substantial R&D investment, we are committed to breaking the boundaries of 5G technology, providing our partners in China and the world with the most comprehensive technologies and solutions, helping them to innovate and grow globally. In all future consumer applications and vertical market applications empowered by 5G, we hope to work closely with Chinese partners to create more innovation opportunities, win-win cooperation, and share 5G development opportunities.
