I just saw that Shanghai recently introduced a pretty interesting industry support policy, specifically targeting the gaming and e-sports industries. The content mentioned in this document is worth paying attention to.

What is the core? Shanghai clearly supports game and e-sports companies in research and development and application of cutting-edge technologies such as AI large models, blockchain, big data, Internet of Things, and cloud computing. Especially in the blockchain sector, the policy explicitly aims to promote implementation in scenarios like copyright registration, rights protection, and transaction settlement. What does this mean? It indicates that the government is paving the way for technological innovation in the gaming and e-sports industries.

I think there is a pretty important signal here. The e-sports industry itself is developing rapidly, and now with policy-level technological support—especially the clear direction for blockchain applications—this could accelerate the emergence of new business models and application scenarios. For example, on-chain rights confirmation for game assets, transparent management of e-sports tournaments, and more.

Additionally, the policy mentions promoting cooperation between game companies and electronic device manufacturers to explore cross-device game development possibilities. This shows that Shanghai has a clear view of the e-sports industry’s ecosystem, not just the games themselves but the entire industry chain’s coordinated development.

From an industry perspective, the emergence of such policies reflects the increasing importance of e-sports and gaming industries in the city’s economy. If more cities follow suit with similar support measures, it will definitely be a positive signal for the industry’s overall development. Especially for game and e-sports companies that are already working on blockchain, AI, and other technological directions, this could be a promising window of opportunity.
