Innovation is the key to business success today. As the market evolves, every business must evolve not just for survival but also to meet new market demands and changes. With every evolution, doors are opened for businesses to expand locally and overseas. One such market change is the “One Belt, One Road” policy. With the “One Belt, One Road” policy linking every business on the map has opened up many opportunities with physical infrastructure put in place in Asia by China with its collaborators. This has in turn allowed for digitalisation to be set in place as communication becomes available. Known as the Digital Silk Road, the digital infrastructure is the gate to new business ideas, new evolutions, and new connection.
创新是当今商业成功的关键,随着“一带一路”政策的推出，中国在亚洲与其当地企业建立了基础设施合作，开辟了许多商机，而通信数字化技术和基础设施对“一带一路”的支撑，又被称为“数字丝绸之路”，这是新商业理念，新动态和新连接的大革命。
Together with the implementation of the Digital Silk Road initiative, the market sees an upsurge in the growth of entrepreneurs where digital technologies are concerned. Start-ups with new business ventures have been on the upswing where many seized the business opportunities to meet market needs and fill the gaps in the marketplace, which was not possible until the rolling in of the digital technologies now. With this the governments in Asia is advocating and stepping up the development of digital innovation as one of their growth strategies and encouraging local businesses and entrepreneurs to do the same.
随着数字丝绸之路计划的实施，市场上关注数字技术的企业家数量激增，初创企业一直处于上升趋势，许多当地企业和企业家抓住商机来满足市场需求，亚洲各国政府正在倡导和加强数字创新的发展，将其作为其增长战略之一。
