China International Capital Corporation (CICC) to invest 1–1.8 trillion yuan in blockchain
China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), a cabinet-level department that designs policies and strategies for the development of the Chinese economy, has expanded its definition of “new infrastructure” to include the blockchain technology since April 20, 2020.
Investment in new infrastructure is projected to account for 7–12% of all infrastructure spending, with China International Capital Corporation (CICC) investing about 1–1.8 trillion yuan in the new infrastructure. As the blockchain technology is building momentum to boost the post-COVID economy, WAIC intends to open further discussions on the topic.
Under the concept of “Intelligent Connectivity Indivisible Community,” this conference will be a high-level forum. It will draw together the world’s most prominent scientists and businessmen, as well as political officials, to explore and debate technical boundaries, business developments, and concerns in the form of speeches and high-level forums.
VeChain will build on this tremendous opportunity to share experiences and ideas with all stakeholders at the meeting. An optimistic view of experience and success in resolving pressure points in the corporate community will encourage many more partners to get on board and extend networking opportunities.
