The global economy grows by 3.6% in 2017, China's GDP growth exceeds 6.5 per cent last year, reaching 6.9 per cent, and the dawn of world economic growth is now emerging.

According to Yu, through the platform of WIOTC, we can share the development experience and information of IoT in China, integrate the innovative application of IoT into "the Belt and Road" and help push forward the "community of shared future for mankind". At last, he congratulated this forum for achieving the expected results.

Shi Dinghuan, former Counselor of the Counsellors' Office of the State Council and former Secretary-General of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the PRC., makes a speech

Shi Dinghuan, former secretary-general of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the PRC., believes that China has entered a new era of distinctive socialism, the green development and the wisdom development have become important directions for our future development. The central government attaches great importance to the development of information technology and the integration of the new generation of advanced manufacturing computer technology and the real economy. The demonstration experience of IoT applications has blossomed globally and enterprises have also strengthened the mutual exchanges and cooperation between countries while expanding the international market. It is hoped that WIOTC will contribute to achieving the UN SDGs 2030, the Two Centenary Goals of China and the "Chinese Dream" in the tide of new world economy.

Shen Changxiang, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, makes a keynote lecture

Shen Changxiang, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering pointed out in his lecture that it is natural to construct IoT security with trusted computing, which includes three domains: the perception domain, the application domain and the processing domain. Through gateway, there is a secure boundary, through network communication security, then to the processing domain (with preprocessing), so that a safe and reliable IoT can be formed. He stressed that the lack of a secure IoT is not sustainable development and demonstrated the IoT security architecture. “I hope we can build a secure network system through WIOTC”, Shen added.

Li Bohu, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, makes a keynote lecture

Li Bohu, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, makes a keynote lecture “To Develop Technology, Industry and Application of Intelligent Manufacturing Led by New-generation Artificial Intelligence Technology”. He pointed out that a new technological revolution, a new industrial revolution is being carried out globally, that is, the IoT artificial intelligence. Characteristics can be described as: emergence of intuitive perception capability of deep reinforcement learning as driven by data; birth of network-based swarm intelligence; hybrid intelligence oriented by interaction technology of man-machine and brain-machine; flourishing of cross-media reasoning and autonomous smart unmanned system.

“In-depth integration of innovation-driven and industrialization, and the development and application of intelligent manufacturing led by new-generation artificial intelligence technology call for global cooperation and exchange, and WIOTC is a quite good platform”, Li added.
