Abstract:
Virtual agglomeration is a form of industrial organization in digital economy and a way of resource reallocation in digital economy, which has penetrated into all aspects of people's economic life. This paper analyzes the realistic foundation of virtual agglomeration from the dimensions of agglomeration effect, new dynamic energy, new understanding and new growth point, and studies the impact of virtual agglomeration on the manufacturing industry and its new application in digital economy. The research shows that virtual agglomeration in cyberspace is based on the “Internet” and “platform”, supported by the “cloud”, and subject to the “terminal”. The virtual agglomeration is the evolution of agglomeration in the digital economy and the agglomeration in cyberspace, which has the agglomeration effects of intelligent logistics, transaction cost, spatial scope, information matching, knowledge spillover, weakening black hole and resource allocation. The new round of scientific and technological revolution, industrial change and the dream of China to become a strong nation in manufacturing all occur in the same period in a historic sense, which prompted the virtual agglomeration to come into being and become the new dynamic energy for the in-depth integration of the new generation of information technology and manufacturing industry. It can significantly promote the digitization of industries and digital industrialization, drive the transformation and upgrading of traditional industrial clusters, cultivate world-class advanced manufacturing clusters, and boost China's manufacturing to the top of the global industrial chain and value chain. The key of manufacturing industry under virtual agglomeration is interconnectivity, which requires the digitization of industries and digital industrialization to supplement and mutually reinforce each other, and requires the support of technology, manifested as high automation, high informationization and high networking, horizontal integration, vertical integration and end-to-end integration. The production factors and productivity of virtual agglomeration are embodied in virtual space, which will promote digital transformation, networked coordination and intelligent change of the manufacturing industry. With the global spread of Covid-19, virtual agglomeration becomes a new economic growth point, the virtual agglomeration in the international supply chain grows significantly, cross-border e-commerce emerges, foreign trade industry develops rapidly digitally, education industry, academic conferences are conducted online with the help of network and software, online office, cloud exhibition is rapidly popular, Internet and delivery industry, catering and take-away industry, short video and live streaming economy, cloud medical care and big health develop rapidly, digital reading, recreation industry becomes popular online as a new lifestyle, and the virtual world of Metaverse will also promote the development of science and technology to bring new economic growth points.
