Digital Summit "Core Partner": NetDragon Makes a Splash for 9 Consecutive Years

From April 29 to May 4, the 9th Digital China Summit and Achievement Exhibition was successfully held in Fuzhou. As a leading digital economy enterprise in Fujian, NetDragon has consistently contributed its strength to the Summit through technological empowerment and ecosystem co-building. At this year's Summit, NetDragon was awarded the "Core Partner" title (one of only three companies) in recognition of its nine years of continuous dedication and contributions, solidifying its role as a long-term participant and value co-creator in the Summit's development history.

At the Summit, NetDragon's exhibition area focused on three main zones: the "Digital Culture & Tourism Interactive Experience Zone," the "Fu Culture IP Promotion Zone," and the "Digital Education Achievement Showcase Zone." Through a series of innovative applications deeply integrating cutting-edge technologies such as AI, VR, and AR, the exhibition vividly demonstrated how digital technology empowers culture and tourism experiences, cultural dissemination, and digital education. In addition, NetDragon co-hosted the "AI Pioneers New Journeys - Digital Intelligence Co-creates Ecosystems" sub-forum with multiple partners and was invited to participate in the Digital Culture Sub-forum. Leveraging its nine-year participation history and industry influence, NetDragon actively promoted the co-construction and upgrading of the digital-intelligent cultural tourism ecosystem.

During the Summit's achievement exhibition, NetDragon's booth attracted significant attention from government officials, industry professionals, journalists, and the general public. It remained particularly popular throughout the May Day holiday, making it one of the most visited booths at this year's Summit. CCTV featured NetDragon four times, including coverage on CCTV-13's "News Studio" program and a dedicated live broadcast lasting over 10 minutes on the CCTV News client. Additionally, central and provincial media outlets such as Xinhua News Agency, Guangming Daily, Macao Daily News, and Fujian Daily provided comprehensive coverage of NetDragon's exhibition highlights across platforms like WeChat, Douyin, and video channels through live streams, short videos, and in-depth articles.

Lin Chen, Senior Vice President of NetDragon, stated that 2026 marks the inaugural year of the "15th Five-Year Plan" and the start of the second decade of Digital China construction. As a witness and practitioner of Digital China's development, NetDragon has been deeply involved in the Digital Summit for nine consecutive years, consistently dedicated to invigorating traditional culture through innovative technology and exploring new frontiers in education through smart solutions.

AI Drives Educational Transformation, Smart Solutions Benefit the World

In the field of digital education, NetDragon consistently leads global transformation through digital technology. Yu Biao, Senior Vice President of NetDragon, noted that NetDragon's education business now covers over 190 countries, serving 150 million users and reaching more than 2 million classrooms. In recent years, with "AI + Education" as its core engine, NetDragon has been delivering replicable, scalable, and localizable Chinese solutions. Leveraging its self-developed AI Production Center, NetDragon produces high-quality educational resources at scale, enabling intelligent and personalized supply of educational content. Over the past year, NetDragon has expanded national-level partnerships with countries including Cameroon and Malaysia, continuously broadening its global education footprint.

At the Summit, NetDragon showcased its "Vocational Education Going Global Comprehensive Solution," an important platform for promoting Chinese vocational education standards and models overseas. The company has already established partnerships with universities in Thailand, Singapore, and other countries. In 2024, it became the only private enterprise project in Fujian selected for the national "Thousand Sails for Cultural Trade" key list.

Digital Intelligence Achievements on Display, Digital Culture Tangible and Perceptible

The "Digital Culture & Tourism Interactive Experience Zone" and "Fu Culture IP Promotion Zone" in NetDragon's exhibition area once again became crowd favorites thanks to their immersive and highly interactive innovative experiences.

Among them, the digital culture and tourism projects were the highlight of NetDragon's exhibition. Visitors could wear VR headsets to "gallop" through the landscapes of Fujian, input their surnames to take "group photos" with AI-generated famous figures sharing the same surname, or open "This is Fujian" and use AR glasses to unlock the wonders of Fujian. These interactive projects integrating AI, VR, and AR technologies transformed abstract digital technologies into tangible and perceptible experiences, revitalizing Fujian's cultural and tourism resources through the blending of virtual and real worlds.

The "Digital Culture & Tourism Interactive Experience Zone" at NetDragon's booth featured "Fu Horse Catches Red Packets; Fantastical Ride Through Fujian" and the "Chinese Clan Ancestral Tree" AI interactive applications.

Against the backdrop of the national cultural digitization strategy, NetDragon has long been committed to the deep integration of digital technology and cultural expression. In terms of digital IP development and operation, NetDragon has served as the designer of Fujian's "Fu" culture IP for four consecutive years, developing a series of "Fubao" family characters including "Fu Tu," "Fu Ruilong," "Fu Bao," "Huahua Mei," and "Fufu Zai," which have become iconic visual assets for spreading "Fu" culture.

At the same time, NetDragon is accelerating its exploration of integrating gaming with digital culture and tourism. Its classic game IPs have been deeply linked with cultural and tourism resources in Nanping, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, and other cities, transforming attractions such as Wuyi Mountain, Nanyin music, Sanfang Qixiang, and Foochow Arsenal culture into interactive digital content. As a significant achievement in the integration of "gaming + cultural tourism," "This is Fujian" — the first provincial-level cultural and tourism publication in China to deeply integrate AR, AIGC, and 3D spatial modeling technology, with technical support from NetDragon — was officially released in January this year. Its new "readable, perceptible, and interactive" format has created a digital model for regional cultural expression.

Co-building a New AI Cultural Tourism Ecosystem, Exploring a New Paradigm of Digital-Intelligent Integration

On the afternoon of April 30, NetDragon, together with Ant Cloud Connect and the Fujian Cultural Enterprises Association, successfully hosted the "AI Pioneers New Journeys - Digital Intelligence Co-creates Ecosystems" themed event. Industry leaders from information technology, cultural tourism, and technology finance gathered to engage in dialogue on the deep integration of digital-intelligent technologies and the cultural tourism industry. Lin Yun, Executive Director and Vice President of NetDragon, jointly launched an AI intelligent companion tour project with partners, combining NetDragon's digital scene-building capabilities, Ant Group's digital payment capabilities, and Rokid's AR interactive capabilities.

At the "AI Pioneers New Journeys - Digital Intelligence Co-creates Ecosystems" forum, Lin Chen, Senior Vice President of NetDragon, delivered a speech titled "AI-Driven Cultural Tourism Ecosystem Co-construction: From Digital Empowerment to Value Symbiosis," sharing NetDragon's active explorations in digital cultural tourism and proposing that AI is continuously expanding the boundaries of traditional cultural tourism and driving the construction of the digital cultural tourism ecosystem.

Lin Chen emphasized that AI brings not only a leap in content production efficiency but, more importantly, a reshaping of the production relations of cultural tourism content — enabling every visitor to become a co-creator of content. Looking to the future, he pointed out the need to establish an ecosystem co-construction mindset, building on Fujian's cultural tourism resources and digital industry foundation to create a sustainable cultural tourism ecosystem involving multi-party symbiosis among government, enterprises, and users. Lin Chen expressed that NetDragon is willing to use AI as the engine and IP as the medium, joining hands with industry partners to jointly promote a new cultural tourism ecosystem from digital empowerment to value symbiosis.
