JD Cloud City Conference Jinan Station: Gathering the power of intelligent computing, exploring new paths of transformation, empowering the advancement of digital intelligence in the AI era
On August 15, 2025, the JD Cloud City Conference kicked off grandly at the Quancheng Jinan Station. This conference is hosted by JD Group with the theme of "Reshaping AI Productivity". It focuses on cutting-edge directions such as AI, big models, and advanced computing power, and collaborates with industry experts and industry chain enterprises to explore new trends in technology transformation. We aim to build a new platform for communication and cooperation, and create new opportunities for regional digital economy development. Wang Qun, Deputy Secretary General of Shandong Equipment Manufacturing Industry Association, was invited to participate in this event.
As an important industry event where JD Cloud has been deeply involved in the field of digital intelligence for many years, the JD Cloud City Conference Jinan Station is not only a positive response to Shandong Province's "Digital Strong Province" strategy, but also a key platform for building collaborative innovation among government, industry, academia, research and application based on regional characteristics. The conference brings together industry pioneers and practitioners, with cutting-edge insights and practical exploration as the fulcrum, to jointly explore and break through new barriers to digital transformation.
Gong Yicheng, Vice President of JD Group, said in his speech at the conference: "Digital intelligence transformation is not only the superposition of technology, but also the in-depth reconstruction of productivity and production relations. The basic model is constantly upgrading, the in-depth application is comprehensively spreading, the application of large models in the enterprise market is accelerating, and the penetration rate of digital employees will become an important standard to measure the future progressiveness of enterprises. JD Cloud will continue to take" rooted in the entity, technology empowerment "as the core, deeply integrate into the upgrading of Shandong manufacturing industry, the construction of smart cities, and rural revitalization, and become a powerful engine to promote digital development." This view was widely echoed by the guests, reflecting that digitalization is moving from a single point breakthrough to a systematic empowerment. A new stage of transformation.
During the event, industry leaders decoded the digital transformation path from both strategic and practical dimensions. Experts have conducted in-depth explanations on the development of the artificial intelligence industry in Jinan, presenting the core advantages of Jinan in building a leading AI city in the country - strong computing power support, abundant data resources, leading algorithm innovation, and diverse application scenarios. This is not only the confidence of urban development, but also the cornerstone of the rise of regional digital economy. The speech titled "Embracing the Intelligent Revolution and Co creating the Future of AI Applications" deeply analyzes the decisive role of the intelligent revolution in the reconstruction of production functions, the reshaping of industrial forms, and the upgrading of urban energy levels from the grand perspective of civilization evolution and industrial transformation, triggering deep resonance in the industry.
At the level of technology implementation, the application practice of big models was shared, with a focus on introducing the pillars of AI infrastructure empowerment - centralized computing power supply to strengthen the technological foundation, open big model services to reduce application barriers, unified tool platforms to improve development efficiency, and security compliance to safeguard the bottom line of development, providing full chain support for enterprise digital transformation. The AI innovation practice in the field of industrial manufacturing has become a focus, and the AI innovation case of production scheduling in refining enterprises vividly demonstrates the multiplier effect of digital technology on the production efficiency of traditional industries; The exploration of the application of big models in ensuring major urban activities highlights the value of digital technology in enhancing modern governance capabilities, fully confirming the profound connotation of "digital technology is the primary productive force".
The official establishment of the Intelligent Agent Application Cooperation Alliance marks a new stage for the regional digital intelligence ecosystem to move from "fighting alone" to "symbiotic win-win". The innovative consortium jointly built by JD Cloud and local leading enterprises and research institutions will accelerate the large-scale landing of AI intelligent agents in key areas such as intelligent manufacturing, intelligent transportation, and inclusive finance, providing strong ecological support for the development of the digital economy.
Experts emphasize that technological iteration has always been the core driving force behind the advancement of civilization. In the current era of "the future is here", the urgent need to release the value of data elements is driving the accelerated penetration of AI technology into various fields of the economy and society, becoming a key variable in promoting high-quality development. The hosting of the JD Cloud City Conference Jinan Station has gone beyond the scope of simple technical exchanges and become a "strategic summit" and "action plan" for the development of regional digital economy. With the continuous transformation of conference achievements and the deep participation of ecological forces such as intelligent agent alliances, Shandong is expected to build a digital economy industry system with national competitiveness.
In the future, digital technology will be more deeply integrated into the bloodline of the real economy, injecting strong impetus into the high-end, intelligent, and green transformation of the manufacturing industry, providing strong support for the modernization of urban governance, and truly benefiting industries, cities, and people's livelihoods with the digital dividend. It will write a "Shandong model" for high-quality digital development in the new era and contribute "Shandong wisdom" to the national digital development.
