On the 9th, the International Virtual Reality Innovation Conference, themed “Virtual, Practical, and Win-Win Cooperation,†kicked off in Laoshan District, Qingdao. The event was held at the Shandong International Exhibition Center, alongside the Qingdao China Virtual Reality International Exhibition and the Laval Virtual Reality Exhibition in France. Over 150 international guests and more than 800 companies from both China and abroad—such as Goer, Google, Microsoft, Huawei, Dell, and HTC—participated, marking the official launch of a "hero club" for Chinese VR innovation and entrepreneurship.
Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-simulated system that allows users to experience a virtual world. After over two decades of development, China has transitioned from catching up to leading in VR concepts and technology. According to Zhao Puping, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chairman of the Virtual Reality Alliance, local governments are actively pursuing industrial transformation, while investors and companies are pouring capital into the sector, driving a large-scale technological revolution in China’s VR industry. VR applications are now rapidly expanding into various aspects of production and daily life.
Qi Yueshan, Deputy Director of the Electronic Information Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, highlighted the current state of VR development in China. In the 2025 key technology roadmap for manufacturing, VR was listed as a core technology for intelligent manufacturing. It is already being applied in areas like surgical training, navigation, and psychological therapy. By 2025, it's expected that VR live broadcast subscriptions will reach nearly 100 million. More than 20 provinces have started deploying VR industries, and Chinese VR startups are estimated to attract 20% of global investment, ranking second worldwide. As of May 2017, China accounted for about 25% of global VR patent applications.
He Guili, deputy director of the China Academy of Information and Communications, pointed out that while China’s VR industry is evolving quickly, there is still room for improvement in chip and sensor localization. She emphasized the need for forward-thinking strategies and innovation to drive the industry forward. Compared to the extensive presence of foreign tech giants, China’s VR industry chain still lacks strong synergy, which remains a key area for future development.
Jiang Duntao, Secretary of the Laoshan District Party Committee in Qingdao, highlighted the district’s advantages, including the State Key Laboratory of Virtual Reality System and Technology and the National Engineering Laboratory for Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. Laoshan is home to 60% of China’s top VR talent. He encouraged more companies and professionals to join and help build Qingdao into a “virtual reality industry capital.â€
Jiang Bin, Chairman of Goer Group, expressed optimism about the current strategic opportunities. With multiple national policies supporting advanced manufacturing, AI, and VR, he believes China’s VR industry is entering a promising era.
The three-day conference not only focuses on the industrial revolution and international collaboration in VR but also showcases cutting-edge technologies across hardware, software, cloud services, investment, and the entire VR supply chain. The lineup of participants and innovations is impressive, signaling a bright future for the VR industry in China.
