Who will be the new generation of unicorn companies in the field of industrial intelligence?
Text | Leifeng.com
On March 4, at a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, the decision-makers emphasized the need to accelerate the construction of major projects and infrastructure that have been clearly defined in the national plan, including accelerating the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G networks, artificial intelligence, and data centers. This short sentence has made "new infrastructure construction" a hot word again, and has also sparked a "new infrastructure" craze in various industries in the past month.
Several technologies involved in the seven areas of new infrastructure (5G, UHV, intercity high-speed rail and rail transit, charging piles, data centers, artificial intelligence, and industrial Internet) are key commercial technologies in the development of various industries. However, the epidemic at the beginning of the year slowed down the pace of commercial construction, and even many projects were stranded and start-ups were impacted. The new infrastructure set by the central government has become a macro-guidance and an industrial revitalization.
Among them, artificial intelligence (AI), which is mentioned in the new infrastructure, is also facing the transformation from landing upgrade to industrialization in 2020. They are covered with the shining coat of digitalization, middle-office and cloud platform landing, and they are all heading towards a "fresh" industrialization.
2020 is also the fifth year of China's artificial intelligence industrialization. From the emergence of startups in 2016, to the industry's awakening in 2017, to the advancement of multiple industries in 2018, to the local adjustments in 2019, and to the industrialization in 2020, the artificial intelligence landscape has become increasingly clear.
Under the banners of the impact of the epidemic, independent control, and new infrastructure, new gaps and opportunities have emerged in the fields of security, driving, and finance, where AI has a mature layout; in the fields of medical care, retail, and education, where AI has been unremittingly tackling difficulties, favorable policies have made investment actions clearer; in the fields of chips, industrial Internet, and AIoT, where AI has taken on new responsibilities, mainstream funds have been actively pouring in. Standing on the high ground of "AI is finally 100% pragmatic", [ Leifeng.com 2020 AI Best Growth List ] this year will pick from 5 dimensions, the most reassuring industrial intelligent entrepreneurial stars for investors in the new national era.
On May 1, this year's AI Best Growth List will be officially launched.
