Top 10 industrial digitalization markets in the world Asia holds four seats

According to the latest report released by Bloomberg New Energy Finance BNEF, the world's top ten industrial digitalization markets in 2020 were released, and from the distribution point of view, Asia and Europe each accounted for four seats, and North America's United States and Canada were also among them
.
South Korea, Singapore, Germany, the United Kingdom, China, Japan, the United States, France, Canada and Sweden are the top ten industrial digitalization markets
in the world.

Driven by policy developments such as the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy and the New Deal Recovery Plan, South Korea has made digitalization and green technologies a national priority, rising from third place in 2019 to top
in 2020.
South Korea's legislation in 2020 cemented the link between digitalization and sustainability globally, elevating these two imperatives as important elements
of future economic growth.

Danya Liu, a digital industry analyst at BNEF, said that the annual ranking is a comprehensive consideration
of factors such as policy, technology, investment, education level, and venture capital.
As countries and regions around the world strive to support economies affected by Covid-19, digitalization has become an important pillar
of government policy.
The government's digital strategy aims to improve industrial competitiveness and enhance the capabilities of key technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of
Things (IoT).

As countries scramble to establish their leadership, AI remains the primary technology focus
.
National AI strategies typically involve two areas: creating incentives to increase adoption, and setting standards
for ethical development.
Since the 2019 ranking, BNEF has recorded 21 countries
that have adopted national AI strategies.
More South American and African countries are expected to launch AI policies
this year.

The 2020 pandemic also drove increased technological sovereignty and the rise of
outsourcing initiatives.
France, Germany and other countries have pledged to build a European cloud to challenge the dominance of U.
S.
and Chinese tech giants
.
Japan pays compensation to its manufacturers of high-value goods to withdraw production bases from markets such as China or to countries and regions such as South Korea, while South Korea is working to develop AI chips
in South Korea.

On the other hand, manufacturing competitiveness remains the focus of
global industrial digital policy.
Since last summer, 14 countries have announced new plans to digitize
manufacturing.
Many governments (14 since the 2019 report) are also digitizing
their power, mining, agriculture and oil sectors through policies and incentives.

Saudi Arabia's national strategy, for example, calls for the adoption of digital technologies to help the country build a new logistics industry and help diversify beyond
oil and gas.
Germany stressed the importance of digital technologies in achieving its goal of
developing the EV battery industry.
