Shandong Weifang builds international VR science and technology city to build VR 200 billion industrial cluster

According to media reports, Shandong Weifang is seizing the opportunity of the current rise of the VR industry, taking the city's efforts to develop the VR industry, and focusing on building an international VR science and technology city to cultivate and develop a VR 200 billion industrial cluster in the next few years.

According to Wei Baoshi, member of the Standing Committee of the Weifang Municipal Party Committee and the Minister of Propaganda of Weifang High-tech District, Chu Baojie introduced that at present there are more than 150 VR equipment development companies in China, but Weifang has a foundation, advantages, and conditions for the development of the VR industry, especially the Goer Group. The VR equipment manufacturing technology is at the forefront of the global market, and it already has the conditions to take the initiative and win the initiative in the global VR field.

He said that Weifang will accelerate the construction of the internationally-renowned "VR Technology City" as an important carrier for the construction of national independent innovation demonstration zones, foster and develop VR 200 billion industrial clusters, and strive to open a territory in the national and even global VR industry. To have a role to play.

“At present, Weifang has begun planning and construction of the “China·Weifang Virtual and Realistic Cultural Industrial Park”, which is a good starting point for the development of the VR industry. In the next few years, Weifang will rely on GoEr to build VR Technology City and will fully assist Goethe. Participate in the formulation of national VR technical system standards." Chu Baojie said. This means that Weifang has officially announced its full involvement in the VR industry and demonstrated its ambition to strive to become an industry leader.

Weifang is located at the important intersection of the two major national strategic economic zones in the Yellow River Delta High Efficient Ecological Economic Zone and the Shandong Peninsula Blue Economic Zone. It is China's most promising emerging economic city with strong investment potential and development vigor. The innovation demonstration area has good conditions for the development of the VR industry.

Judging from the "hardware," Weifang is an internationally known "electronic city" and "power city". It has a good foundation in electronic information, industrial design, and precision manufacturing, and can provide technology development, product manufacturing, and promotion for the VR industry. Applications, and even logistics supply, provide strong industry support. From the perspective of “software”, the software information industry is a key industry that Weifang City is cultivating. Weifang Software Park and Shouguang Software Park have begun to take shape. They have formed such advantageous industries as software research and development, service outsourcing, internet of things, and geographic information. Judging from the “content”, Weifang is a big city of culture and a “Chinese painting capital” with a strong historical and cultural heritage. It is accelerating the development of Internet cultural enterprises in the fields of painting and calligraphy, folk arts, animation and film and television, and promoting the cultural industry and virtual Solid organic integration has laid a solid foundation.

In particular, leading companies in Weifang High-tech Zone led the company to enter the VR field earlier, and based on global integration of resources, currently with Stanford University, Changchun Institute of Light Machinery, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and other well-known institutions at home and abroad in the field of VR In-depth cooperation, the layout of core technologies and the introduction of talents will continue to lead the industry.

According to Goer chairman Jiang Bin, at present, Goer has been involved in smart wear, drones, robotics and other industries. As far as involving the VR industry, it was already three years ago. When the VR industry's prospects are still controversial in the industry, Goer has long been quietly involved and has begun its global deployment.
