Hey tech fans and digital innovators! Beijing just lit up the scene by launching the Global Digital Economy Cities Alliance at the Global Digital Economy Conference 2025. Over 40 vibrant cities—from bustling hubs in Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East to Latin America—are coming together to redefine the digital future. 🚀
This new alliance aims to move beyond one-on-one collaborations by focusing on key tech topics like digital infrastructure, cross-border data governance, AI ethics, and smart city applications. It builds on the momentum of Beijing's Global Digital Economy Partner City Cooperation Initiative in 2023 and the six action plans rolled out in 2024, paving the way for innovative projects that resonate from the streets of Mumbai to dynamic tech hubs in Jakarta.
Organized by the Beijing municipal government, along with leading organizations such as the Cyberspace Administration of China, the National Data Administration, Xinhua News Agency, and the United Nations Development Programme, the conference will run through July 5. With over 1,000 digital enthusiasts set to join multiple forums and thematic sessions, this event is the place to catch the pulse of global digital innovation. Stay tuned for more on how this alliance is set to change the tech landscape worldwide! 🌍
