The theme of this year's summit is closely related to the "digital economy", exploring the integration, application, and innovation of construction industries, enterprises, and even projects driven by digital technology. At the main forum, Guanglian Da and Huawei signed a memorandum of cooperation, announcing that they will cooperate in the fields of building cloud, smart construction sites, and smart buildings, becoming a major practice of digital driven integrated innovation in the construction industry. Guanglian Da President Yuan Zhenggang shared at the forum the promotion and practice of "digital architecture" on the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry. While manufacturing and even lifestyle are undergoing significant changes, the digitalization process in the construction industry is particularly slow. To this end, Guanglian Da proposes to build a digital architecture industry platform that runs through the entire lifecycle of design, trading, construction, operation and maintenance, and supervision, making buildings digital, online, and intelligent, and becoming the core engine for the transformation and upgrading of the entire industry.
