A security forum focusing on smart Asian Games and using digital technology to empower future city development opened in Hangzhou, capital of East China's Zhejiang province, on July 2, local media outlets reported.

About 70 people attended the forum, including government officials from Hangzhou and other cities, officials from the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee, sponsors of the Games, and representatives from safety and ecological enterprises of the Games.

The attendees discussed the application prospects of new intelligent and security technologies in Hangzhou Asian Games and other international events and reached consensus on the impact of mega sporting events on the economy.
