3. Objectives and paths of the three-year action plan and action plan
Policy measures such as the Three-Year Action Plan for Accelerating the Creation of "AI Longgang" in Longgang District (2025-2027) and the Three-Year Action Plan for Embodied Intelligent Robot Friendly Demonstration Urban Area in Longgang District (2025-2027) issued by Longgang District have pointed out the direction and path for industrial development.
The Three-Year Action Plan for Accelerating the Creation of "AI Longgang" in Longgang District (2025-2027) is based on building the global "commanding heights" of the computing industry and the first place for the "global innovative application of artificial intelligence"."Pioneer Zone" of smart city governance services, and the "Preferred Zone" of full-time scenarios to promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence technology into all aspects of economic and social development. By 2027, we will strive to achieve the in-depth application of global AI technology in more than 80% of key industries in the region, build a national-level AI open-source community, form a collaborative innovation ecosystem for global developers, and implement 100 global full-time intelligent application benchmark projects, covering all scenarios of production, life, and governance, and drive the industrial scale to exceed 100 billion yuan. In order to achieve this goal, Lon
ggang District will continuously improve the development level and competitiveness of the artificial intelligence industry through a series of measures such as strengthening infrastructure construction, promoting technological innovation and transformation, cultivating industrial clusters, and strengthening talent support.
The "Three-Year Action Plan for Embodied Intelligent Robot-friendly Demonstration Urban Areas in Longgang District (2025-2027)" focuses on exploring the construction of the country's first embodied intelligent robot-friendly demonstration urban area, in accordance with "one agency, two pilots, six platforms, and N scenarios". The construction of the Artificial Intelligence (Robot) Department, the construction of two pilot robot theaters and demonstration blocks, the creation of six public innovation empowerment platforms, and the creation of N benchmark application scenarios. This will provide a broad space and rich application scenarios for the development of embodied intelligent robots, promote the continuous innovation and industrialization of robot technology, and also provide new opportunities and impetus for the intelligent upgrading and innovative development of the city.
4. Tens of billions of orders promote the integration of technical scenarios
Longgang District will invest 10 billion yuan in financial support in the next three years, covering all government capital investment fields such as hospitals, schools, and state-owned enterprises, and provide a strong financial guarantee and market demand for the development of the artificial intelligence industry with the firm belief of "pushing AI with tens of billions of orders". Since the second half of 2024, Longgang District has carried out the application of "Science and Technology" in the investment projects of the government of the whole district, and has now established a "Science and Technology Chapter" application library, and openly solicit product technologies from the whole society, covering nearly 1,600 new products, new technologies and new processes in more than 10 fields such as medical and health care, urban governance, and digital infrastructure. In this way, Longgang District not only promotes the implementation of artificial intelligence technology in practical applications, but also provides new ideas and methods for solving the pain points and difficulties of various industries, and improves the efficiency and quality of economic and social development.
In terms of the integration of technology and scenarios, Longgang District actively explores the wide application of artificial intelligence technology in urban governance, industrial manufacturing, medical and health care, education and other fields, and continuously expands the depth and breadth of artificial intelligence applications. For example, in urban governance, artificial intelligence technology is used in intelligent security, environmental monitoring, urban management, etc., improving the level of refinement and intelligence of urban governance.
