1. Guiding ideology

Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, we must fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, and organically combine the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand with supply-side structural reform. , with the main goal of building an industrial metaverse and empowering the manufacturing industry, driven by the integration and innovation of new generation information technology, guided by the application needs of the virtual and real world, and based on cultivating new technologies, new products, and new models of the metaverse, Give full play to the joint efforts of the competent government and the effective market, coordinate development and security, systematically plan, promote engineering, and implement industrialization to promote the high-quality development of the metaverse industry.

2. Basic principles

Adhere to innovation-driven. To release the integrated innovation momentum of the Metaverse and drive the cross-border integrated development of related technologies. To adhere to equal emphasis on making up for shortcomings and forging longboards, accelerate breakthroughs in key core technologies of the metaverse, and promote the industry to accelerate towards high-end development.

To insist on scene traction. To develop metaverse application scenarios, use scenario construction to drive the application of Metaverse technologies and products, and form a high-level development situation in which demand drives supply and supply creates demand.

To adhere to integration and mutual promotion. To grasp the characteristics of the virtual and real integration of the metaverse, construct a virtual mapping of the physical world, stimulate the empowerment, superposition, and multiplication of digital technology, and improve the productivity of the digital space and the physical world.

To insist on safety and reliability. To coordinate development and security, strengthen policy guidance and standard guidance, and promote the construction of the metaverse governance system. Build a solid industrial foundation, enhance the resilience of industrial and supply chains, and improve safety and security capabilities.

To adhere to open collaboration. To deepen international exchanges and cooperation, actively participate in international governance, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. Strengthen collaboration between industry, academia, and research, effectively allocate resources, and promote deep integration of the innovation chain, industrial chain, capital chain, and talent chain.

3. Development Goals

By 2025, metaverse will achieve breakthroughs in technology, industry, application, governance, etc., and become an important growth pole of the digital economy. The industrial scale will be expanded, the layout will be reasonable, the technical system will be improved, the basic supporting capabilities of industrial technology will be further consolidated, and the comprehensive strength will reach the world’s advanced level. Cultivate 3-5 ecological enterprises with global influence and a group of specialized small and medium-sized enterprises, and create 3-5 industrial development clusters. The development of the industrial metaverse has achieved initial results, creating a number of typical applications and forming a number of benchmark production lines, factories, and parks. metaverse’s typical software and hardware products have achieved large-scale application, forming a number of new businesses, new models, and new formats in the fields of daily consumption and public services.

In the long term, the key core technologies of the Metaverse will achieve major breakthroughs and form a world-leading Metaverse industrial ecosystem. Create a mature industrial metaverse and develop a new manufacturing growth model in which reality and reality reinforce each other. To build a ubiquitous, universal, and non-sensory metaverse space to promote the overall improvement of human production and lifestyle. Form a safe and efficient metaverse governance system and create a healthy and sustainable industrial development environment.
