With the deepening of a new round of global technological revolution and

industrial transformation, 5G has become a priority development area in the

world's digital economy development strategy. According to the prediction of

the Global Association for Mobile Communications Systems, by 2024, there will

be nearly 1.2 billion 5G users worldwide. China Academy of Information and

Communications Technology predicts that the cumulative investment in China's 5G

network construction is potential to reach RMB 1.2 trillion by 2025. It will

fuel the upstream and downstream industrial chain and application investment in

various industries to exceed RMB 3.5 trillion. From 2020 to 2025, China's 5G commercial

use will indirectly drive the total economic output of about RMB 24.8 trillion.  

The World 5G Convention is the world's first international event in the 5G

field, and it was held in Beijing for the first time in 2019. The Convention

gathered experts and scholars as well as business executives from all over the

technologies, new-generation communication technologies, 5G and mobile Internet.

Guangdong Province issued the Guangdong Provincial Action Plan for Accelerating

the Development of 5G Industry (2019-2022), specifying the goal and direction

for the development of 5G industry. As one of the first 5G pilot cities in

China, Guangzhou attaches great importance to seizing the opportunity for the

rapid development of 5G, accelerating the cultivation of new business types,

new economies and new momenta, and creating new momentum led by science and

technology, so as to provide important support for Guangzhou to realize the

goal of "old city, new vitality". The Convention will explore the new starting

point, new directions and new opportunities of 5G combining the development

trend of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area and taking account of

the commercial implementation process, promote the integration of 5G into all

industries, and link all things to benefit the public, and empower the

construction of the Greater Bay Area.
