From June 24th to 25th, the 6th World Intelligence Conference has been postponed multiple times. Finally, it was held in Tianjin.

As a member of the conference observation team, with the help of this on-site visit, I was able to observe Tianjin so closely for the first time. In my eyes, Tianjin began to become real and vivid.

For a long time in the past, Tianjin has been hidden under some labels and even prejudices.

For example, Tianjin is the birthplace of China's modern industry and the cradle of New China's industry. It is the city with the most complete industrial system in the country. It is also the central city of northern industry and one of China's economic centers.

For another example, as one of China's four major municipalities, although Tianjin has had a unique economic and political status for a long time, the identity label that hangs over Tianjin seems to always be "Beijing's back garden." "Gateway to the Capital" and so on.

Tianjin’s light has been obscured.

As everyone knows, the city positioning given by the state to Tianjin, an old industrial town, is the "National Advanced Manufacturing R&D Base". From the urban base of a traditional industrial manufacturing center to a new positioning of advanced manufacturing R&D, behind the evolution of these words is The new mission carried by the city of Tianjin. The driving force behind

is the smart industry.

A more "smart" city

When students feel unwell, they go to the Eco-city Hospital for treatment. Relevant information will be quickly fed back to the school, and teachers can grasp the students' health status at the first time; when a fire or other emergencies occur on campus, the on-site situation It will be fed back to the "city brain" as soon as possible, and the "brain" will quickly start emergency response;

uses intelligent weather micro-stations in the weather network, as well as drones and intelligent network-linked vehicles to observe the weather, forming a multi-dimensional integrated air, sky and ground Observation network, meteorological data are aggregated into the "city brain" to form a gridded meteorological observation network;

environmental protection inspectors can command drones to take off automatically, collect images and data along more than 100 beacon points, and carry out reminders, Video surveillance, air monitoring, etc.; during morning and evening peak hours, drones can be used to inspect road conditions.

Tianjin Eco-City, located in Tianjin Binhai New Area, is a strategic cooperation project between the governments of China and Singapore. It is the world's first ecological city to be developed and constructed through cooperation between countries.

In the past, Tianjin Eco-City was an ecological zone that provided active discussions and typical demonstrations for the construction of a resource-saving, environmentally friendly society. It was a sustainable urban harmonious community.

Now, its identity is richer and more diverse. For example, Tianjin is also the core area of ​​the new generation artificial intelligence innovation and development pilot area, and is one of the first batch of smart city pilots in the country. With the help of smart industries taking root in Tianjin, the urban management and operation of the eco-city have begun to have a "smart brain" Blessing.

The above case is a concrete manifestation of the upgrade of urban management from "passive disposal" to "active intervention" in Tianjin Eco-City under the command of the "intelligent brain".

In fact, the “urban brain” of the Eco-City has gathered data from 18 fields including construction, environment, medical care, education, elderly care, and emergency response.

With the gradual increase of smart modules in the "city brain", the "brain's" urban perception capabilities, smart decision-making capabilities, data aggregation capabilities, precise service capabilities, emergency response capabilities and collaborative support capabilities have been further improved.

has achieved "knowledge", but it still needs to become more and more "smart".

Taking the construction of 5G as an example, as of the end of 2021, Tianjin has built a total of 40,000 5G base stations. The city's urban household gigabit fiber network coverage and other three indicators rank first in the country. The download rate of fixed broadband users has jumped to second place in the country and was selected as a national The first Gigabit cities.

In the Tianjin Eco-City, the 2.5-kilometer road between the Smart City Operation Center and the China-Singapore Friendship Library was built into a 5G+V2X vehicle-road collaborative demonstration section, allowing smart cars, smart roads and 5G The network merges into one.

At the same time, the acceleration of 5G construction has become an important force in promoting the digital, networked and intelligent development of the manufacturing industry.

According to China Unicom Chairman Liu Liehong revealed in a video speech at the Smart Conference that at Tianjin Port, China Unicom has equipped the port with "intelligent arms" and built a 5G fully connected terminal in Tianjin Port, with operators at the terminal. In the central control room, you can remotely control the quay crane to allow the " robotic arm " in the loading and unloading area to operate in an orderly manner.

At the intelligent container terminal in Section C of Beijiang Port Area of ​​Tianjin Port, the world’s first unmanned electric truck marshalling and ship-building operation was realized, and the world’s first full-process automation transformation of traditional terminals was achieved, with the overall efficiency increased by more than 40%.

According to reports, in recent years, Tianjin has built 200 smart factories and digital workshops such as Danfoss , Haier 5G factory, and Evergreen Technology; and cultivated a number of industries such as Unisplendour Cloud , China Automotive Research Institute, and Yike Electronics The Internet platform has promoted more than 8,000 industrial enterprises to migrate to the cloud.

Xiao Yaqing, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, said in a speech at the Intelligent Conference that artificial intelligence has accelerated its integration with manufacturing, transportation, medical care, people's livelihood and other fields, constantly creating new business formats, new models, and new markets, which has effectively promoted the digitalization and intelligence of all walks of life. transformation.

It can be said that the development of intelligent industry has fully penetrated into the daily life of a citizen, the intelligent production of a factory, and even the intelligent management and operation of a city.

With the help of the development of intelligent industry, the city of Tianjin is becoming more and more "smart" and "intelligent".

A more pragmatic "city master"

If the development of intelligent industry is the starting point for Tianjin to promote the implementation of advanced manufacturing R&D, then the large number of technology companies and entrepreneurs are an important fulcrum for the implementation of Tianjin's intelligent industry. .

focuses on the development of the intelligent industry. Through the establishment of advantageous enterprises and the introduction of high-end enterprise talents, it can drive the development of the entire industry chain. It can be said that behind the aggregation effect are the multiplication effect and the multiple effect, which will inevitably bring exponential explosive growth.

The annual World Intelligence Conference has become a stage and hub for Tianjin to attract investment and talents, attract intelligent enterprises to set up shop, and promote the development of intelligent industries.

At this year’s smart conference, IBM, Microsoft , GE, China Unicom and other established technology giants, as well as SenseTime , Megvii Technology and other emerging star smart companies gathered together to provide services for Tianjin and even China. Provide advice and suggestions on the development of intelligent industry, and talk about the current situation and future of intelligent industry.

As an old friend of the World Intelligence Conference, 360 Group Chairman Zhou Hongyi is a frequent visitor to Tianjin. Now, he is also one of the "new citizens" of Tianjin.

In 2019, the 360 ​​Group headquarters settled in Tianjin. From basic software development to the deployment of software security protection products, from personal information security to enterprise-level information security and government-level information security, the two parties work together to create an information security industry chain that meets the needs of the entire market.

For example, in Tianjin Eco-City, the two parties cooperated to establish the "Tianjin Smart City Digital Security Research Institute", established a think tank in the field of smart city digital security, and introduced big data collaborative security technology National Engineering Research Center and Security Brain National New The first-generation artificial intelligence open innovation platform has established scientific research cooperation units in the eco-city to jointly build a security shield for the "urban brain" of the eco-city.

At this World Intelligence Conference, Zhou Hongyi also has a new mission. In his view, "China is at the forefront of global digital economic development, and digitalization has become China's national strategy."

Zhou Hongyi said that small, medium and micro enterprises have made huge contributions to society, but currently, many small, medium and micro enterprises are facing digital transformation Still not enough. To this end, this year, 360 will spend 20 billion yuan to support the digitization of 1 million small, medium and micro enterprises.

In the past period of time, due to urban resource endowment and its own development, Tianjin has lost part of its population. Through a combination of recruiting talents and attracting talents, Tianjin has attracted a large number of excellent smart companies and talents to settle down.

In the Zhihui Valley jointly built by Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone and iFlytek , it has been operating for 4 years and has introduced more than 250 incubation companies, and the cumulative output value of the incubation companies has exceeded 12.5 billion yuan. In Tianjin, there are 86 technology business incubators at or above the municipal level, with 4,300 incubating companies; there are 206 maker spaces at or above the municipal level, with 6,200 resident companies and teams.

With the help of tens of billions of special funds for intelligent manufacturing, Tianjin has supported a total of 2,998 projects so far. The city has allocated 9.19 billion yuan in funds, driving investment of more than 120 billion yuan.

Last year, the operating income of Tianjin’s smart technology industry accounted for 24.8% of the city’s above-scale industries and above-scale information service industries. Among them, the cumulative added value of the electronic information manufacturing industry increased by 9.1%, and the growth rates of the Xinchuang and integrated circuit industry chains reached 31% respectively. and 24%, intelligent manufacturing has become a new driving force supporting the establishment of Tianjin’s manufacturing industry.

360 Group Chairman Zhou Hongyi, iFlytek Chairman Liu Qingfeng and others were deeply touched. "When we participated in the first conference, we were just guests in Tianjin. Now we have landed in Tianjin and become local companies and owners."

This group of people Together with the establishment of these companies, they formed a group of "rebels". From this point of view, Tianjin needs more "Zhou Hongyi", and Tianjin is also working hard in this direction.

At the just-concluded Smart Conference, a total of 136 projects were signed, with a total investment of approximately 84.9 billion yuan. The areas were mainly concentrated in emerging industries such as information innovation, high-end equipment, biomedicine .

If in the past, many top stages have become personal shows for big guys, then in today’s smart conferences, government managers, experts in professional fields, and business leaders who participate in the conference pay more attention to issues. Diversified and more pragmatic.

In their eyes, there are both the starry sky and the earth; their footsteps are both distant and focused on the present; they are both concerned about the current situation of the city and thinking about its future.

Together they form the "new citizens" group of Tianjin, and they are also the new owners of the city.

Conclusion: Believe in the compound interest of time

As many people in the industry agree, Tianjin has gone through glorious years and missed attractive opportunities, but Tianjin has seized the strategic opportunity of the next century, that is Smart manufacturing.

Tianjin naturally has the confidence to become the pillar force leading the development of China's smart industry and leading China's smart industry into "Tianjin time". This is determined by the historical accumulation, urban development momentum and future strategic picture of Tianjin.

is only now, and it is far from the time to talk about success.

There is a concept in the field of economics called "compound interest", which means that when calculating interest, the interest for a certain interest calculation period is calculated by adding the principal plus the total interest accumulated in previous periods. This is also the way that everyone It is commonly referred to as "profit by profit" and "profit by compound profit".

What “compound interest” brings is a snowballing growth effect. Chasing the power of compound interest is the instinct of humans and even all living things in the world. Since then, the concept of “time compound interest” has been extended, that is, as long as you do the right things On the other hand, we continue to invest more assets, including technology, capital and time.

All that is left is to wait quietly, because waiting is the process of compound interest over time.

promotes the development of smart industries for the same reason. In this right thing, what Tianjin has to do is to get involved and continue to invest, and the rest only needs to be left to time.
