artificial intelligence, robotics, digital art, network security, and smart

living.

To further boost the development of the metaverse industry, an opportunity list

was released at the conference, introducing a batch of new projects in the

metaverse industry with a total investment of 1 billion yuan ($150.2 million).

Officials said the projects will help explore how to make use of the metaverse

and promote the transformation and upgrading of the real economy, turning the

Tianfu New Area into a national metaverse pioneer.
