The deep integration of the digital economy and traditional industries will become a major trend for China's economic development, the head of a Chinese information technology think tank told a local forum today.

The pace of digital transformation across industries will greatly accelerate, especially with the wide applications of big data, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence (AI), 5G and blockchain technologies, said Yu Xiaohui, director of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, a scientific institute under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China.

"New digital technologies will increase the production efficiency of traditional industries, drive their dynamics and accelerate upgrades and transformation," Yu told the 8th China Industrial Internet Summit in Baoshan District.
