This year's Software Expo closely follows the "14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development," the recent key tasks of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the industrial development ideas of the host city. It focuses on the core value of software in assisting digital transformation, promoting the digital economy, leading innovative development, and ensuring national security. It showcases the new characteristics, models, and formats of software industry development, reflecting the "digital" concept and demonstrating high-end, professional, interactive, and international characteristics. Adhering to the principle of "government platform, association facilitation, enterprise-led, market operation," it aims to support high-quality development of China's software industry.

Currently, China is continuously promoting the advanced development of industrial foundations and the modernization of industrial chains, accelerating digital development, and strengthening the supply of key software, with the software industry maintaining growth. Since the beginning of this year, China's software and information technology service industry has continued its stable recovery trend, with business income maintaining rapid growth, total profit growth slowing, and software exports growing steadily. The application of new generation information technologies such as cloud services and big data services is accelerating. From January to April, China's software industry achieved software business revenue of 2.5719 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 25.0%, a decrease of 1.5 percentage points from the growth rate in the first three months, and a compound annual growth rate of 11.7% over the past two years. The industry achieved total profits of 288.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 20.5%. From January to April, the software industry achieved exports of US$14.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 14.5%.

In recent years, Zhejiang has attached great importance to the development of the software industry, with prominent industry characteristics. Using digital reform as a fulcrum, it has continuously leveraged various aspects of economic and social fields. Through the application of digital technologies, digital thinking, and digital cognition, it has carried out a comprehensive and systematic reshaping of the institutional mechanisms, organizational structures, methods and processes, and tools of provincial governance.

As a "National Software City," Hangzhou is at the forefront of the country in software-empowered digital transformation and the promotion of integrated innovation. Software applications have penetrated into all aspects of economic life, with prominent industrial advantages in cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things, and mobile payments. It is at the forefront of the country in e-commerce, financial taxation, industrial control, and security monitoring, providing strong technical support for Hangzhou's goal of becoming the "No. 1 Digital Economy City in China" and the full implementation of its "New Manufacturing Plan."

Hangzhou High-tech Zone was established in 1990. It is one of the first batch of national high-tech industrial development zones approved by the State Council, a national autonomous innovation demonstration zone, and has been included in the national sequence for creating world-class high-tech parks. For many years, Hangzhou High-tech Zone (Binjiang) has adhered to independent innovation and independent cultivation, creating a complete digital economy industry chain. The added value of the core digital economy industry accounts for more than 70% of GDP. The comprehensive evaluation of the digital economy has ranked first in the province for many consecutive years. A total of 57 listed companies have been cultivated. There are a number of world-renowned companies such as Hikvision, NetEase, Alibaba, Dahua, H3C, and Hengsheng, gathering 10 of the top 100 software companies nationwide and 40 key software and integrated circuit design companies within the national planning layout, accounting for 70% of the provincial total, with a development level ranking among the top in the country.
