Tencent, a digital solutions provider, has hosted its 2020 Tencent Digital Eco Conference City Summit in Xi'an, capital city of Shaanxi province in Northwest China, in order to help the digital upgrading of industries in the city and in the wider northwest region.

Opening on Dec 1, the summit focused on the industrial internet, aiming at industrial progress, urban co-construction and ecological co-prosperity.

Qiu Yuepeng, vice president of Tencent Group and president of Tencent Cloud, said at the summit that in the rapid development of the digital economy, new infrastructure is "roads", data is "oil", and new industry and new cities are "vehicles", providing efficient digital carrying capacity for various industries and governments. Through the coordinated operation of "road-oil-vehicle", a new engine is provided for the development of the digital economy.

“In the future, Tencent will base itself on the city and serve the province, and work together with partners to promote the digital transformation of Northwest China and the areas covered by the Belt and Road Initiative,” Qiu said.

Tencent is a leading enterprise in the international internet industry and an important partner in Xi'an's development, which has made important contributions to the economic and social development of Xi'an.

At the summit, Tencent and Xi'an High-tech Industrial Development Zone signed a cooperation agreement. The two sides will discuss the development of Xi'an's digital economy around the integration of a future city named WeCity.
