Tencent and Hebei Explore Digital Economic Dividend together

With its accumulated experience in the construction of digital government, Tencent has explored a unique model through which digital government can be quickly applied to more cities. The connection between Tencent and Hebei has started many years ago.

On November 23, 2017, Tencent signed strategic cooperation agreements with the Administrative Committee of Xiongan New Area, Hebei Health and Family Planning Commission, Hebei Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Hebei Medical University respectively. Since Xiongan New Area opened up and its enterprises could entere the zone, Tencent has been one of the first enterprises approved by the Administrative Committee of Xiongan New Area to enter the zone. It is also the first large Internet enterprise registered in Xiongan New Area.

Now Tencent cooperates with Hebei Province again, which confirms its role as a "digital assistant" in the process of building a digital government and deepens the two sides' efforts to build a digital and ecological community.

Tencent has been an active participant in helping the government with the digital construction in the fields of public services and people's livelihood.

The "Yueshengshi" ("Yueshengshi" is the first WeChat applet integrating people's livelihood services in China, and it is also an important achievement of the reform and construction of "digital government" in Guangdong Province. Users can handle a number of people's livelihood services in the applet after passing the authentication of "real person+real name".) WeChat applet jointly created by Tencent Cloud and the People’s Government of Guangdong Province in 2018 has become a popular application in the field of government services. At the same time, Tencent assisted the State Council in developing the WeChat applet, "China's Government Affairs Service Platform", bringing together the matters of all departments and localities in China, so that ministries and commissions can serve the whole country.

This year, Tencent further put forward the construction concept of "WeCity Future City", hoping to build digital government administration, urban governance, urban decision-making and industrial interconnection into a complete intelligent solution and aiming to promote the digital upgrading of urban services nationwide. It has already created a number of benchmarking cases.

For Hebei Province, due to the balanced development among major cities, the speed of the digital economy is relatively fast, and there is sufficient power to accelerate the integration of traditional industries and the Internet, which is consistent with Tencent's positioning of digital assistant and the practice of industrial Internet.

As both sides actively promote the in-depth integration of the real economy with the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, it is bound to release the dividends brought by the digital economy on the road of "electronic" government administration and "high speed" information.
