Hangzhou is set to host the 3rd Global Digital Trade Expo from Sept 25 to 29, showcasing the future of digital content trade through its Digital Entertainment Zone.

With over 1,000 domestic and international buyers, including 693 companies from more than 40 countries, the zone has attracted top global firms and will highlight innovations in digital tourism, gaming, film, music, and publishing, along with AIGC technology.

A 1-on-1 business matchmaking session will bring together international buyers like Malaysia's Measat Broadcast Network Systems and Japan's Hulu, showcasing a global interest in Chinese digital culture.

Exciting highlights include the 8K immersive deep space experience, a 3D display of the Old Summer Palace bronze heads from Poly Art Museum, and the much-anticipated appearance of Black Myth: Wukong by Game Science, a major milestone in China's digital cultural exports.

The zone will also feature innovative displays such as the Zhejiang Music Academy's interactive Light and Ink soundscape and AI-driven exhibits from China's digital animation leaders.

The zone will host the 2024 Global Digital Culture Trade Summit, driving forward discussions on trends, policies, and opportunities in digital culture trade, fostering global collaboration and sustainable development.
