The permanent location of the Internet Conference in Wuzhen is a sign of the central government’s trust and love for Zhejiang, and it also brings major opportunities to Zhejiang’s development. Now the effects of the conference are being released, bringing many new changes to Zhejiang:

The first is the cross-border changes in small towns. The development of Wuzhen embodies the General Secretary’s deep concern. When he was working in Zhejiang, he visited Wuzhen five times for research and guidance, and designed a development path for the thousand-year-old ancient town. The convening of the World Internet Conference enabled Wuzhen to closely follow the new development concepts proposed by the General Secretary and rely on the Internet to once again gain wings to take off. Wuzhen has fully integrated "Internet +" elements, and a number of smart projects such as Internet hospitals, smart tourism, and smart transportation have been put into operation. Free WIFI covers all scenic spots in Wuzhen, further releasing the charm of Wuzhen. It can be said that Wuzhen now is not only a historical town and a tourist town, but also a smart town and an entrepreneurial town.

The second is the change in economic structure. The World Internet Conference is permanently located in Wuzhen, which has greatly promoted Zhejiang's "Internet +" process. The information economy has become a new highlight in Zhejiang's economic development. Here, I have some data to illustrate: Last year, Zhejiang’s informatization development index reached 97.98, and its industrialization and informatization integrated development index reached 86.26, both ranking third in the country. From January to September this year, the added value of the core industries of the information economy reached 228.8 billion yuan, accounting for 7.7% of GDP. "Internet+" new business formats such as e-commerce, Internet finance, Internet of Things, smart logistics, cloud computing and big data also have unique advantages across the country. It can be said that the Internet has become the new gene of Zhejiang’s economy.

The third is the change in development momentum. The biggest characteristics of Zhejiang people are that they “have the courage to be the first, are particularly able to endure hardships, and are particularly capable of entrepreneurship.” In the past, Zhejiang’s economy was a grassroots economy. The convening of the Internet Conference attracted a large number of Internet entrepreneurial talents from around the world to Zhejiang, injecting new impetus into this hot land of entrepreneurship and innovation. It can be said that the Internet entrepreneurship atmosphere in Zhejiang is now very strong. Talent entrepreneurship, young people's entrepreneurship, and new economy entrepreneurship have become a new scene of entrepreneurship and innovation in Zhejiang. For example, the Dream Town in Hangzhou has hosted more than 380 entrepreneurial projects and attracted 4,100 entrepreneurial talents in just six months since its opening. The "Cloud Conference" held in Hangzhou not long ago attracted more than 40,000 people, allowing us to see the bright future of the information economy and the huge impact of the "Internet +" strategy.

The main advantage of the Wuzhen model is that during the development process, Wuzhen completely preserved the style and layout of the ancient water town, making its charm as one of the "four ancient towns" in Jiangnan lasting. Decline; Integrate with international standards: In 2012, Wuzhen attended the "21st Century World Cultural Heritage Cities" Forum in Bruges, Belgium, as the only representative of China. In 2013, Wuzhen invited international teams to create an international drama festival, "Chinese Stories, International Interpretations", Wuzhen " "Bringing in" and "going out" go hand in hand, and are extremely culturally inclusive; the Internet upgrades the service industry: when scan-code payment only emerged in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Wuzhen's supermarket system has become popular; QR codes Tickets, free hotspot coverage in the entire area; details of Internet technology upgrades and service quality permeate every aspect of life.
