at present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation represented by a new generation of information technologies such as 5g are rapidly taking shape and growing up. 5g has become an important support for the development strategies of digital economy in all countries of the world and an important focus of global industrial and economic competition, which will have a profound impact on the production and lifestyle of mankind. the relevant studies show that by 2035, the global economic output generated by 5g will reach usd 12.3 trillion, accounting for 4.6% of the global actual output; according to china academy of information and communications technology (caict), during 2020 - 2025, it is estimated that china's total economic output directly driven by 5g commercial use will reach rmb 10.6 trillion, an economic added value directly created from this will amount to rmb 3.3 trillion; a total economic output indirectly driven by 5g commercial use will add up to about rmb 24.8 trillion, creating 3.1 million direct jobs.

in june 2019, president xi jinping, at the 23rd st. petersburg international economic forum (spief), called for concerted efforts and win-win cooperation to face the unprecedented changes of the world which had never taken place in the past century, and made it clear that we should abide by the principle of joint discussion, construction and sharing to work together to create an open and diversified world economy. china is willing to share the latest scientific research results, including 5g technology with other countries to jointly cultivate new core competitiveness.

technological innovation about 5g and industrial transformation will greatly improve the production and people's living standards of all countries in the world, making peace and cooperation, openness and integration, as well as change and innovation become a surging-forward trend of the times. in recent years, 5g technology has flourished in china, and the general "go-global" trend of chinese enterprises will not change. those chinese 5g enterprises with good conditions, high reputation and strong strength will gain more encouragement and support to go global. at the same time, china can provide a broad market open to the world, including the development of 5g industry, and the global advanced technological achievements will be welcomed with enthusiasm to be applied in china.

in order to make better use of the major opportunities brought by 5g technological innovation and industrial transformation, gather high-quality innovation resources, propel the development and application of 5g, step up the commercialization process of 5g and facilitate full exchange and common development of 5g technology in global scope, the 1st "world 5g convention" co-sponsored by the beijing municipal people's government, national development and reform commission, ministry of science and technology and ministry of industry and information technology will be held in beijing economic-technological development area from november 20 to november 23 in 2019.
