The integration of AI and WEB3 innovation has become a hot topic in the industry, with a high-profile summit held in Shanghai to discuss future developments.

On June 21, 2025, a summit forum focusing on AI agents and WEB3 innovation was held in Pudong, Shanghai. Numerous experts from the political, academic, and industrial sectors gathered to discuss the development prospects and hot topics of artificial intelligence technology and the WEB3 industry.

At the opening ceremony of the conference, a representative of the organizers stated that such summits have successfully been held 15 times in multiple international metropolises, making significant contributions to the development of cutting-edge digital technology industries worldwide. Professor Wang Shenzhao, director of the China Free Trade Zone Digital Economy Research Institute, emphasized in his speech the need to implement the central government's strategic guidelines for developing the digital economy, promote institutional and industrial innovation, and seize the technological high ground of the new era. He called for joint efforts from both industry and academia to promote the practical application of sectors such as artificial intelligence, big data, and new infrastructure for computing power, and to cultivate the development of a new trillion-yuan industry.

In the discussion on the theme of computing power as national strength, several industry experts shared unique insights. Xu Chen, a partner at Gobi Partners, pointed out that global computing power continues to break through Moore's Law, and early-start countries will gain economic growth advantages due to increased investment in computing power. He cited the latest assessment results, stating that for each point increase in the computing power index of sample countries, their digital economy and GDP will grow by 3.6‰ and 1.7‰, respectively.

Chen Qida, an executive at SenseTime, emphasized the importance of the integration of artificial intelligence technology with industry. Li Ming, managing partner of PwC China's mergers and acquisitions consulting services, pointed out that the uneven development of global computing power will bring differentiated industrial development opportunities. Xu Bing, VP of Qingcheng Jizhi, introduced his team's technological accumulation in the AI infrastructure field and emphasized their achievements in comprehensive coverage of the large model industry ecosystem.

During the conference, a certain AI company announced the completion of a PRE-A round of financing involving several well-known institutions, with a total amount reaching several million dollars. The company officially transitioned to artificial intelligence computing power, algorithms, and data services. In the fields of algorithms and data, the company introduced a brand new concept of AI AGENT ASSET, aimed at generating revenue for artificial intelligence projects and providing high-quality AI digital asset services.

Multiple experts discussed the current development status and future value of the AI agent market at the roundtable forum. Participants generally believe that AI Agents are the most promising track for the next decade and will trigger a new wave of growth in both the Web3 and traditional internet sectors.

The conference also discussed the policy trends and industry opportunities related to RWA (Real World Assets). Experts analyzed innovative RWA policy models that integrate practices from free trade zones, such as cross-border asset verification, transactions, and digital asset regulatory sandboxes, believing that these explorations will provide valuable experience for the nationwide promotion of RWA policies.

This summit brought together traditional financial institutions, brokerage asset management, family offices, and professional teams to jointly explore the allocation strategies of digital assets. Participants engaged in in-depth discussions on new hotspots, new situations, and new opportunities in areas such as WEB3, blockchain, and artificial intelligence, providing a deep assessment of the current state and future development of cutting-edge digital technologies, and offering diverse perspectives and insights for industry development.
