The Hefei AI Ecosystem Conference 2024 took place in the Grand Union of Innovation(GUi) on July 20, marking a significant convergence for the city's AI industry. 

Co-hosted by the GUi, the event centered on the theme "Application-driven, Ecosystem co-creation, Innovate the future", featuring the signing of several high-profile projects, such as the establishment of Beijing Blueya Box Technology's new headquarters in Hefei's GUi.

A project recommended by GUi's global partners, Anhui Lanya Digital Technology's "domestic-made 3D engine," has settled in GUi and signed an agreement with the Hefei high-tech zone at the conference.

"Hefei is about to become the headquarters of our company", said Xuan Yang, partner at the Commercialization Center of Lanya Box Technology.

In game development, 3D engines play a crucial role, serving as a bridge between software applications and hardware resources, and as the core of real-time rendering. With the booming growth of the gaming industry both domestically and internationally, Xuan and his team have keenly observed the rise of a new game development model – "one code, multiple platforms". Their core business, the LayaAir engine and digital content creation tools, has become a powerful tool for the next generation of game development, with notable clients including Tencent, NetEase, and 37 Interactive Entertainment.

GU's innovative ecosystem was highlighted as a magnet for global talent and high-tech enterprises. By fostering a collaborative environment with top-tier teams, investment funds, and state-of-the-art facilities, GUi aims to establish itself as a national hub for AI development.

With Hefei's AI industry already among the national leaders, this conference underscored the city's commitment to accelerating innovation and driving industrial transformation, positioning Hefei as a place of AI advancement in China with GUI playing a core part in the progress.
