On February 24, Alibaba released the third quarterly report of fiscal year 2022. At the analysts’ conference call held that night, Zhang Yong, chairman and CEO of Alibaba group, said that since the fourth quarter of last year, the state has emphasized strengthening, optimizing and expanding the digital economy, and also put forward a clear direction for the development of the platform Economy: establish and improve the platform governance system and promote the standardized, healthy and sustainable development of the platform economy. “Alibaba’s self requirements in terms of business philosophy and social responsibility are highly consistent with it.”
Alibaba is accelerating the integration of digital and real. During the Beijing Winter Olympics, Alibaba used 23 years of digital technology to serve the Centennial Olympic digitization, and Alibaba cloud supported 100% of the core systems required for event operation. This is the first time in the history of the Olympic Games that cloud computing has replaced traditional it, which has changed the situation that the traditional IT room was repeatedly built in the past Olympic Games and demolished after being used for a short time. The application development and deployment process is shortened, and the cost of IT infrastructure is greatly reduced.
The “ice and snow economy” driven by the Beijing Winter Olympics is also confirmed on Taobao tmall platform. The new demand scenario has created new opportunities for the accelerated development of Chinese ice and snow sports brands in domestic and foreign markets, which is a real real economy.
Zhang Yong said that the process of China’s industrial digitization has just begun. Ali will be committed to serving the real economy and all walks of life for a long time. This is also the biggest opportunity and foundation for Ali’s long-term, healthy and sustainable development. Just like the cloud in the Winter Olympics, Alibaba has seen great opportunities for digitization in many industries in the future, such as new energy vehicles, finance, medical treatment, etc., which are high potential industries with great demand for computing power and intelligence. Alibaba will use the advantages of Alibaba cloud’s self-developed technology products to launch corresponding solutions for these industries.
For a long time, Alibaba has been a pioneer in helping real enterprises carry out digital transformation, and a large number of businesses are highly integrated with the real economy. Its platform provides accurate supply and demand docking for small and medium-sized enterprises, promotes the intelligent transformation of the logistics industry, the digital transformation of the supply chain of service enterprises, and uses digital technology to improve the quality and efficiency of traditional manufacturing, energy and other industries.
Taking the field of clean energy as an example, 100 waste incinerators in nearly 30 cities across the country have been equipped with Alibaba cloud industrial brain. Through AI technology, the environmental protection index of domestic waste incineration is more stable, and the unit power generation is increased. 360 million kwh of green power can be generated throughout the year, which is equivalent to the power generation of a medium-sized hydropower station. At the same time, Alibaba cloud has opened its core competencies to the industry, worked with industry experts and energy companies to promote green, low-carbon and efficient waste power generation, and the ecological effect of digital economy helping the low-carbon transformation of the real economy has gradually taken shape.
In the logistics industry, in order to make the “last mile” of rural logistics more efficient, rookies expand the service coverage of logistics service stations at the township and village levels, transform rural post stations with a series of “close to the ground and easy to use” digital technologies, accelerate express delivery to the countryside and villages, and activate the consumption power of rural markets. Increase the construction of upstream origin warehouse in the Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) core main production area.
In the field of intelligent manufacturing, Alibaba’s rhinoceros intelligent manufacturing has introduced innovative artificial intelligence technology to businesses in the clothing design link, shortening the development cycle of new clothing to within two weeks, which is five times more effective than the traditional model. As a representative of new manufacturing, rhinoceros smart manufacturing was selected as the “lighthouse factory” of the world economic forum and became the only Internet enterprise among the 140 cases selected in the list of innovative pilot applications of industrial Internet platforms in 2021 by the Ministry of industry and information technology.
Zhang Yong said that in the future, alibaba will adhere to serving people’s livelihood, serving customers represented by small and medium-sized enterprises, digitizing the service industry, serving the real economy, benefiting the society, facing the future and creating a healthy and sustainable development path.
