The AI and Web3 Industry Innovation Summit was successfully held in Shanghai, discussing the development of artificial intelligence and the new economy.

On June 21, 2025, a summit forum focusing on artificial intelligence technology and Web3 industry hotspots was successfully held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Pudong, Shanghai. Experts from the government, academia, and industry gathered to discuss the development direction of the new economy.

In the opening speech of the forum, the representative of the organizer emphasized the important role of such summits in promoting the development of cutting-edge digital technology industries in various regions. Professor Wang Shenzhao, director of the China Free Trade Zone Digital Economy Research Institute, called on the industry and academia to work together to promote the practical application of artificial intelligence, big data, and new infrastructure in computing power, and to cultivate and develop a new industry worth hundreds of billions.

The conference focused on the development of the computing power industry. Several experts interpreted the important layout of AI new infrastructure at the "Computing Power is National Strength" roundtable forum. The attendees generally believed that the global computing power continues to break through Moore's Law, and increased investment in computing power will bring economic growth advantages to the country. Research shows that for every 1-point increase in the computing power index of sample countries, their digital economy and GDP will grow by 3.6‰ and 1.7‰, respectively.

In the field of artificial intelligence, several companies have showcased their latest technological advancements. A vice president of an AI company stated that the development of artificial intelligence technology heavily relies on its integration with industry. A representative from another company shared their technological accumulation in the AI infrastructure domain, covering full-stack technology from underlying compilers to upper-layer parallel computing systems, achieving comprehensive coverage in the large model industry ecosystem.

The conference also discussed the development prospects of AI agents. Experts present believe that AI Agents will be the most valuable track in the next decade, triggering a growth wave in both Web3 and traditional internet sectors. With the capabilities of large models bringing about algorithmic innovations from prompts to agents, AI agents are expected to drive the economic paradigm reconstruction of AI data assets.

In terms of policy and industrial opportunities, experts discussed typical models of policy innovation for real-world assets (RWA) by analyzing the practices of free trade zones, such as cross-border asset confirmation, trading, and digital asset regulatory sandboxes. These explorations provide a regional innovative perspective for the promotion of national RWA policies.

This summit also invited traditional financial institutions, brokerage asset management firms, family offices, and professional teams to jointly explore the allocation strategies for digital assets. Participants engaged in in-depth discussions around new hotspots, new situations, and new opportunities in areas such as Web3, blockchain, and artificial intelligence, conducting a thorough analysis of the current state and future of cutting-edge digital technology, providing diverse perspectives for interpreting policies, gaining insights into market trends, and identifying investment opportunities in the industry.

Overall, this summit provided an exchange platform for the industry, promoting the integrated innovation of artificial intelligence and the Web3 industry, and pointing the way for the development of the new economy.
