Yuan Ruiqing, leader of Jiangsu Telecommunications Administration Bureau, said that the optical fiber and cable industry has developed rapidly in the past 20 years. More than 3 billion core kilometers of optical fiber have been laid in the world. Optical fiber communication has created a huge information and communication technology (ICT) industry group. The overall level of China's optical fiber communication technology basically keeps pace with the international leading level, and has realized the transformation from "tracking" to "leading" in some fields. Facing the future, the market of optical fiber and cable has a huge development space and a long life cycle.
Wang Jianyi, leader of Zhejiang Federation of Industry and Commerce and president of the board of directors of Futong Group, said that the optical fiber and cable industry has a glorious history, inspirational experience and innovative spirit. Facing the future, the optical fiber and cable industry should be firm in confidence, maintain fixed strength, give priority to competitiveness, develop with high quality, strengthen exchanges and win-win cooperation.
Cui Genliang, vice president of Jiangsu Federation of Industry and Commerce and president of the board of directors of Hengtong Group, said in his opening speech that the global optical fiber and cable conference was of great significance in Shanghai. Shanghai is the birthplace of the scientist, Nobel Prize winner in physics and the father of optical fiber, which embodies the respect for the spirit of scientists. The technological breakthroughs of optical fiber communication and the upgrading of industrial development have brought about great changes in the global economy. Human beings will enter a new era of artificial intelligence, digital revolution and interconnection of all things, which will bring unprecedented development opportunities to the optical communication industry. Standing in a new era and starting point of the development of communication technology, Cui Genliang proposed that the industry should focus on the future, strengthen the joint coordination among industries, and build an industrial ecosystem of healthy development of the industry with a cooperative attitude of consultation, co construction and sharing And consciously take on the responsibility and mission of high-quality development.
Yang Xi said in her speech that Shanghai is the most dynamic and potential economic center in China, the pacesetter of China's reform and opening up, the pioneer of innovation and development, and the core and demonstration area of the Yangtze River Delta's ecological and green integration development. Yang Xi believes that the convening of this conference in Shanghai will certainly promote Shanghai to stand at the forefront of global development, advance the layout of 5G and other new generation communication technologies and industries, push Shanghai to take the lead in the development of big data, cloud computing, Internet of things and other fields, and promote the construction of Shanghai's smart city and smart society.
