The Exhibition Value of the World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit
- The World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit (WIC) is one of the highest‑level and most influential international events in the global internet sector. Since its permanent establishment in Wuzhen in 2014, it has been successfully held for twelve sessions and is widely recognized within the industry as a leading indicator of global cyberspace governance and a pivotal hub for digital technology innovation. Initiated and hosted by China, the conference was elevated to an international organization in 2022. It remains committed to building an international platform for connectivity between China and the world, as well as a Chinese platform for the shared governance of the global internet, serving as a strategic vantage point for observing the evolution of global digital civilization and staying abreast of cutting‑edge technological trends.
- The core value of participation lies in the event’s dual attributes: its role as a premier platform connecting top‑tier global internet resources and its authoritative endorsement at the national strategic level. The conference brings together over 1,600 dignitaries, heads of international organizations, experts, scholars, and corporate leaders from more than 130 countries and regions. Representatives of international bodies, including UN Under‑Secretary‑General Li Junhua and WIPO Director‑General Daren Tang, have attended annually. The professional audience comprises senior decision‑makers from government agencies, international organizations, leading technology enterprises, investment institutions, and research universities, providing exhibiting companies with a strategic gateway to engage directly with the world’s foremost resources.
- The exhibition establishes a comprehensive platform for showcasing and exchanging ideas across the entire digital technology value chain. As a central component of the conference, the “Light of the Internet” Expo will, in 2025, bring together 670 enterprises and institutions from around the globe, featuring seven thematic zones—Global Leaders, Model Pioneers, Intelligent Industries, and others—highlighting over a thousand cutting‑edge technological products, including large‑scale models, intelligent agents, embodied robots, and quantum computing. Spanning everything from underlying chips to industry‑specific applications, and from AI algorithms to cybersecurity, the expo forms a complete closed-loop ecosystem for the digital industry.
- In line with three major industry trends—AI empowerment, digital inclusivity, and global governance—the conference fosters a thought leadership space characterized by deep integration among industry, academia, research, and application. In 2025, the conference will debut the “Six Little Dragons Wuzhen Dialogue,” bringing together emerging Chinese AI pioneers such as Unitree Robotics, DeepSeek, and Game Science for the first time to engage in in‑depth discussions on前沿 topics like embodied intelligence, general artificial intelligence, and brain–computer interfaces. Concurrently, the conference will release landmark reports, including the “China Internet Development Report 2025,” the “World Internet Development Report 2025,” and the “Building a Global AI Safety and Governance Framework for the Common Good of Humanity,” contributing Chinese wisdom to the advancement of the global internet.
- For Chinese enterprises, this exhibition serves as a strategic gateway for expanding into global markets, connecting with international resources, and showcasing innovative capabilities. The conference has continuously published the “Jointly Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace” series of outcomes, forging international consensus such as the “Wuzhen Initiative” and establishing cross‑border, cross‑cultural, and cross‑sectoral cooperation ecosystems. Exhibiting companies can leverage this platform to access top‑tier global resources and seize early opportunities in the era of digital civilization.
