On November 28, the 2019 Edge Computing Industry Summit hosted by the Edge Computing Consortium (ECC) was officially held in Beijing. As the world’s most influential edge computing industry event, the summit, with the theme of “Smart 5G, Blooming Edge”, gathered more than 1,000 senior government officials, association leaders, top industry experts, academic leaders, industry media and analysts, as well as the majority of industrial ecological partners to discuss cutting-edge technologies, release innovation results, share application practices, and converge industrial ecology. Jointly promote the rapid development of edge computing industry.

2090–SCVP32-0 Li Ying, Inspector of the Department of Information Technology and Software Services of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Sun Quan, researcher of the Department of High and New Technology of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Wang Natural, deputy director of the Expert Committee of the Edge Computing Industry Alliance and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Yu Haibin, president of the Edge Computing Industry Alliance and director of the Shenyang Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, attended the conference and delivered a speech.

Inspector Li Ying pointed out that the innovative development of edge computing technology and industry is of great significance to accelerate the construction and promotion of industrial Internet platforms. Edge computing and cloud computing are interdependent and closely coupled to build the industrial Internet platform system. The edge computing with “edge cloud collaboration and edge intelligence” as the core development direction will meet the diversified needs of the industry digitalization in agile connection, real-time business, data optimization, application intelligence, security and privacy protection, and will certainly become an indispensable key element of the industry digital transformation.

2090–SCVP32-0

2090–SCVP32-0 Researcher Sun Quan said that the Internet edge computing is of great significance to the development of manufacturing industry, in recent years, the process of standardization and industrialization of edge computing is rapidly advancing in China, and effectively promote the development of manufacturing industry. As an important support point and core issue for the development of intelligent manufacturing, network interconnection carries the mission of comprehensively and deeply integrating OT network and IT network.

2090–SCVP32-0 Wang Natural said that edge computing will be an important part of the future Internet of everything information system, and will play a role through the integration of new technologies and old systems. 5G makes connectivity more extensive, data interaction more convenient, and the acceleration of information flow inevitably requires new computing power, which complement each other. It can be predicted that the effective integration of 5G and edge computing, and collaborative development will certainly play a great power of 1+1 greater than 2.

Chairman Yu Haibin said that with the rapid development of 5G+ industrial Internet and artificial intelligence today, the in-depth development of edge computing to the industry and industry has become urgent. The Edge Computing Industry Alliance will further strengthen its cooperation with academia and industry, and help alliance members create more new applications for edge computing in terms of academics, standards, and platforms. I hope to contribute to the development of the industry and the prosperity of the ecology.
