NetDragon expands business with new opportunities empowered by 5G

NetDragon announced that as a co-sponsor, NetDragon participated in the "5G+VR/AR Innovation and Application Summit and Hefei VR Town Conference" in Hefei, Anhui. The event was led by the Hefei Feidong People's Government, under the theme "New 5G Vision, New VR Impetus". In addition, Hefei VR Town, a project co-developed by NetDragon, made its debut at the conference.

Positioned as the largest platform for VR industry development in China, Hefei VR Town leverages Hefei city's technology, human and industry resources and focuses on three major areas, including VR/AR, virtual simulation and holography, with the aim to become a new highland for 5G+VR/AR industry technology application and innovation.

In particular, a 40,000 square meter VR Experience Centre is situated in the Hefei VR Town, where the audience can experience the most advanced VR technology. As the core of the VR Town, this VR Experience Centre will undertake the operation and demonstration of the town's education, software and curriculum, resulting in a regional education ecosystem.

The major construction of Hefei VR Town was completed in March, and the VR Experience Centre is scheduled to be in operation by the end of this year. NetDragon will provide VR products including hardware, software and resources for the VR Experience Centre. The VR Experience Centre project is NetDragon's largest order among all its VR projects thus far.

As a builder of online communities, NetDragon has been at the forefront of internet technology and has taken the lead in integrating VR/AR technologies and traditional education models. Its proprietary flagship educational products including 101 Education PPT and 101 Mysticraft have significantly enhanced the learning experience.

In recent years, NetDragon has established coverage across the VR/AR industry, particularly connecting the upstream and downstream across the VR industry value chain, and therefore, strengthening its leading position in VR content, software and hardware product development and technology.

In addition to research and development, another key to the development of VR/AR industry is talent cultivation. In the aspect of advanced education, in order to promote the training of VR talent, the "National Education Elernity VR World Laboratory", co-developed by NetDragon, has been set up in multiple colleges in China.

Furthermore, NetDragon has hosted the VR competition of the National Higher Vocational Students Skills Competition for three consecutive years, also the National Secondary Vocational School VR Vocational Skills Competition this year. All these not only made it a standard setter of VR talent selection but also established its core position in the VR profession of national vocational education.

The advent of the 5G era provides strong technical support to the enhancement of VR experiences and brings more collaboration opportunities across different sectors, triggering additional sources of industry growth.

In addition to Auhui, NetDragon is also involved in the construction of VR bases in Fujian and other provinces. The Hefei VR Town project is a critical step in promoting the VR/AR industry development.

NetDragon will supposedly continue to expand its VR business development and fully utilise its strength and specialities to promote the integration of industry resources, accelerate the establishment of VR talent pool and fully contribute to the development of the VR industry.
