(ECNS) - The 2nd Digital China Summit scheduled from May 6 to 8 in Fuzhou City of Fujian Province will offer 5G access all across the entire venue.
The summit will also feature high-level applications of intelligent technologies such as face and voice recognition to offer comprehensive services to participants, Zhang Zhinan, deputy governor of Fujian Province, said at a press conference on Tuesday.
It will also showcase face recognition-based payment services, a smart restaurant, a personal credit-based shopping street, self-driving cars and automated vending vehicles.
This year's summit will add a seminar on industrial applications as the exhibition area expands from 40,000 square meters last year to about 60,000 square meters.
Exhibitors will include ministries and provincial departments as well as many top Internet and IT enterprises. The summit will offer a full display of achievements in e-government affairs and the digital economy as new technologies and products will account for about half of all displays.
The number of participants is expected to increase by 50 percent compared with the first summit. Academics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering as well as representatives from Huawei, Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, Inspur and iFlytek have confirmed participation in the summit.
