Connect Jingan: Scene Emergence debuts at WAIC 2026 with release of AI application industry map
During WAIC 2026, Shanghai's Jing'an district launched the Connect Jingan: Scene Emergence event and released an AI application industry map. The map provides a panoramic overview of how AI technologies are deployed across various real-world application scenarios.
At the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), Shanghai's Jing'an district unveiled Connect Jingan: Scene Emergence, a themed event that featured the release of a comprehensive AI application industry map. According to reports, the map systematically catalogs how AI technologies are deployed across diverse vertical application scenarios.
The industry map offers a panoramic survey of the current AI application ecosystem. It covers AI technology distribution across multiple verticals, providing enterprises, research institutions, and government agencies with a reference framework for industry coordination and resource allocation.
The Scene Emergence theme reflects WAIC 2026's growing emphasis on practical AI deployment. Compared to previous editions that focused heavily on foundation models and underlying AI infrastructure, this year's conference clearly prioritizes how AI technology penetrates into real production and daily life. The industry map release is a concrete embodiment of this shift.
Jing'an district, a key AI industry hub in Shanghai, has been actively promoting AI application scenarios in recent years. This newly released AI application industry map will serve as an important tool for regional AI decision-makers and practitioners, helping identify emerging application directions and potential collaboration opportunities.
As large language model technology moves from research to deployment, effectively embedding AI capabilities into specific business processes and application scenarios has become a central industry challenge. The industry map, as a structured industrial insight tool, addresses the market's growing need for clear AI deployment pathways.
Going forward, the key question is whether the map will be updated regularly and made available to the broader industry ecosystem. Its release provides industry observers with a foundational data framework for assessing AI application penetration and development direction.
Why it matters
WAIC 2026's release of an AI application industry map signals the industry's shift from foundation models to real-world deployment, providing a structured reference for AI ecosystem coordination.
