Currently, the digital economy is developing at an unprecedented rate, both in terms of scope and capabilities. By creating opportunities for technological and industrial revolution, digital transformation has become a national strategic focus for developing new competitive advantages. From a supply and demand perspective, digital transformation is expected to improve manufacturing and supply, so that enterprises are better able to meet diverse consumer requirements through the use of information and communications technologies (ICTs). When taking data elements and implementation into account, digital transformation encompasses the entire data management process, including data generation, transmission, analysis, and transaction. Throughout the process, a wide range of ICTs is required, specifically sensing technologies (involving sensors, devices, and more), connection technologies (involving mobile communications networks, wired broadband, satellite communication, IoT, cloud computing, and more), intelligent technologies (including AI, short for artificial intelligence, and big data), and trust-related technologies (including cyber security, information security, and blockchain). Recent years have seen accelerated innovation in technologies such as 5G, big data, cloud computing, AI, and blockchain. Individual technological breakthroughs are facilitating technological synergies and paving the way for collective evolution. These technologies are becoming the core engine of economic development rather than being just a fundamental driving force. Next-generation ICTs are gradually being used in various areas of economic and social development, and therefore are becoming a key force in reorganizing global resources, reshaping the global economic structure, and spurring changes in the global competitive landscape.
