Is it possible for Nanchang's "VR" technology to squeeze into first-tier cities?

On June 201810/9, the World VR Industry Conference was officially held in Nanchang. Such a grand VR industry conference not only attracted the attention of the whole world, but also left a deep impression on practitioners with the image of "VR Capital". The VR industry is in the early stage of development, and practitioners must have an answer to the status quo of the industry. However, Nanchang still has a long way to go from a real VR city. Building a VR city is not done overnight.

However, the establishment of a VR city can not be achieved through meetings or industry recognition. It has high requirements for industrial scale, industrial value and the number of talents.

20 16 is called "the first year of VR" by people in the industry. At the end of February of that year, Nanchang officially announced that it would build "China Nanchang VR Industrial Base", with the goal of training 1 10,000 professional and technical talents within 3-5 years. The total scale of launching VR angel venture capital fund is 654.38+0 billion yuan; Implementation of virtual reality industry investment fund of 654.38+0 billion yuan; Gather more than 1000 upstream and downstream enterprises in the virtual reality industry chain; The output value exceeded 654.38+000 billion yuan.

Up to now, China Nanchang VR Industrial Base has introduced the first batch of more than 20 enterprises, and its innovation incubation center has attracted more than 40 enterprises to settle in, and more than 200 virtual reality enterprises have registered and settled in Honggutan New District of Nanchang. However, there is still a big gap between this number and the goal of 1000 virtual reality enterprises. Although Nanchang has set up a venture capital fund with a total amount of 1 100 million yuan, if there are not enough virtual reality enterprises, the fund will not promote the development of Nanchang's virtual reality industry. In addition, Nanchang is not the only city dedicated to virtual reality.

However, the national policy has great support for Nanchang, and Nanchang hopes that VR will become a regional feature. Last year, a piece of news in the State Council about printing and distributing the Development Plan of New Generation Artificial Intelligence showed that artificial intelligence technology (including virtual reality) can significantly improve the ability and level of social governance and play an irreplaceable role in effectively maintaining social stability. This shows that the state will maintain its support for this technology for a long time to come, and Nanchang can also provide long-term policy support like practitioners. Although Qingdao, Shanghai and other cities are also actively promoting the development of local virtual reality industrial clusters, we believe that Nanchang has more advantages in financial resources, material resources and manpower.

Among the slogans of virtual reality, "Give Jiangxi a chance and let the miracle return to the world" left a deep impression on the author. For emerging industries, opportunities need to be won by themselves, not by others.
