Hey tech lovers! 🌟 The 12th World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit just kicked off on November 7 in scenic Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province. Li Shulei, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and minister of the Publicity Department, set the tone with a keynote on shaping our digital tomorrow.
With 1,600+ attendees from over 130 countries and regions and reps from the UN FAO and WIPO, this edition is all about Building an Open, Cooperative, Secure, and Inclusive Digital Future – Jointly Forging a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace.
1. Open 🌐
Think open data and open source: from India’s Aadhaar digital ID to Indonesia’s open API banking push, sharing tech blueprints means faster innovation and more startup wins across South and Southeast Asia.
2. Cooperation 🤝
Partnerships are the new power move. Whether it’s a Malaysian e-commerce platform teaming up with a Vietnamese delivery app or cross-border AI research between Singapore and Bangladesh, collaboration is the secret sauce for global impact.
3. Security & Inclusivity 🔒🤗
Cybersecurity isn’t just for big firms. New tools are emerging to help MSMEs and underrepresented communities stay safe online. Plus, initiatives like digital literacy workshops in rural Nepal prove tech should be for everyone.
From geeky deep dives to big-picture debates, the Wuzhen Summit is proving that our digital future is best when it’s open, joint, and safe for all. Stay tuned as these buzzwords turn into real-world wins! 🚀
