At the meeting, CNSG delivered a speech regarding the construction of the CNSG Jiangxi VR eSports Industry Base, aiming to help them develop industries like leisure and sports, artificial intelligence, digital entertainment, rehabilitation and health as well as culture and tourism.

As Zhou Liang, an officer at Honggutan said, they are very happy to welcome the arrival of CNSG eSports to aid them in creating a diversified sports market of event operation, smart equipment, education and training, enterprise and innovation and user experiences.

In recent years, Honggutan has been making great effort in contributing to VR industry clusters, technology research and development, and supporting facilities. On October 19 to 21, the New Area will host the 2018 World VR Industry Event, alongside an international VR eSports tournament, China (Nanchang) VR eSports Industry Fair and China (Nanchang) VR eSports Industry Summit.
