The Guangdong Provincial Government recently issued the "Three Year Action Plan for the Construction of the" Digital Bay Area ", proposing to closely integrate the construction of the" Digital Bay Area "with the economic and social development of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, and accelerate the creation of a unified large market and high-quality living circle. The goal is to build the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area into the highest level of digitalization in the world. The Guangdong Provincial Government Information Office held a press conference on the 21st. Yang Pengfei, Director of the Guangdong Provincial Government Service Data Management Bureau, introduced that the official issuance of the plan marks the comprehensive implementation stage of the construction of the "Digital Bay Area". We will use digitization to effectively connect the rules and mechanisms of the three regions, efficiently connect new infrastructure, and promote deep integration of economic development, public services, and social governance. The plan proposes to fully leverage the unique role of data as a "factor of production". Focusing on the demand for data in high-frequency public services, we will explore the implementation of a "whitelist" system for cross-border data circulation. Support the Guangzhou and Shenzhen data exchanges to create national level exchanges and establish a unified Greater Bay Area data element trading market with market systems, trading rules, and platforms. At the same time, we will promote collaborative talent attraction between Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, and accelerate the construction of a digital talent highland in the Greater Bay Area. The plan proposes to leverage the advantages of the "Guangdong Business Connect" platform in covering active market entities, optimize the full chain of business services for market entities, and provide full chain and handheld services for enterprises in the Greater Bay Area. Accelerate the sharing of customs clearance data and system integration among Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, further shorten the circulation chain of goods, and promote the "one code customs clearance" of personnel. The plan proposes to accelerate the agglomeration and development of digital energy industries in the Bay Area. Promote the joint innovation and industrialization of digital technology in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, and create a cluster area for information and innovation, digital government, data, and cybersecurity industries. Encourage enterprises and research forces in the three regions to carry out research and construction on general artificial intelligence, accelerate industrial digital transformation, and stimulate the momentum of digital technology innovation. The plan also proposes to accelerate the integration of government services in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao. Open up the government service chain and data flow bottlenecks in the three regions, optimize unified identity authentication and electronic signature mutual recognition, and achieve more high-frequency services for residents and enterprises through cross-border communication. Provide a one-stop convenient experience for residents in the Greater Bay Area, focusing on customs clearance, payment, job hunting, healthcare, education, and travel in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao.
